Deviation Actions
For too long I've been putting all my eggs in one basket by calling deviantART my only online home for me to express myself. While I still love this community and log in every day, I've been feeling like I should jump on the bandwagon and get myself out there on some other platforms, so I recently made an Instagram account and have been adding a selection of artwork (and selfies of course) from my gallery there over the past few days, starting from oldest to newest and still have more to go before I have caught up. My dA name was taken there already (lol, why?) So here I am: www.instagram.com/chromattix/ 
I have too much artwork to bother uploading every single one so only a few from each year starting from 2008 and up were selected and all link back to the original deviations. Some might even be a little better resolution and unwatermarked than the ones here too but I'm still reluctant to give out huge printable files to just anyone, selling high-res files to people who want to print them for stuff helps pay my bills because I don't think I can stand pitching in any more hours as a damn waiter anymore 
So hopefully reaching out to another platform will help me get somewhere better, either in art or modelling/fashion (a passion that I've been reluctant to follow and hope I'm not too old to try for now because it's really been pressing on my mind again lately) So because of this there might be a higher proportion of self portraits compared to my dA gallery, so if your'e in it just for the art then your'e probably still better off following me here than there 
Also been on Facebook for a while now [link] Though admittedly that's more about personal stuff and less art-oriented.
I'm kinda all over the place trying to get my shit together so my upcoming 30's won't be as disappointing and eventless as my 20's were, I'm even dabbling into some dating apps since I'm just so tired of always being alone whenever I'm offline, so unfortunately there's no new art in the works until I either figure out what I want to do with myself (or just give up and go back to the way things were) But I'd say it's more to do with lack of time, not loss of interest. I still visit dA daily even if I can't answer all messages that day. DeviantART is my home, these other sites are just my, um - investment properties

Well I Didn't Win This Time..
But a Daily deviation is a pretty solid runner up prize :trophy:
Thankyou art (https://www.deviantart.com/art) for featuring it, and for providing this string of contests with very interesting themes over the past few months. I'm not in any of the current ones, character design isn't a strong point of mine, but it'll be interesting to see who wins, and what themes might be selected for upcoming contests if any!
I've been slipping in and out of activity for some time and these contests motivating me to put stuff aside to draw something again have probably been a good influence for me. Too busy with work and other crap I'd gladly cut out of my life if I won the lottery
Son of a Beach!
After being elected as one of many fine finalists in the recent Devious Desktops: Warm Vibes competition I had my fingers crossed over the past week thinking about nothing other than what the results would be. This was the first contest I've heard about in ages I was actually interested in theme-wise and one that was also open to all members around the world so I jumped on it right away!
It paid off as I won one of the three winning positions! :excited: It's been years since I won anything here, and even those were smaller scale contests held by individual users or groups. I'm certain this is the first time I ever placed in one of the big on
Switchi'n It Up
So I've pretty much disappeared without an explanation, drip-feeding some time on here into the forums but not much else on the artistic front. Totally out of character for me whose been persistently active on here since I began. But then again out of character probably describes how I feel. Not necessarily in a "bad" way, but in a way that I feel like my priorities and personality are changing after some realizations about many things this year. In some ways it's been a good thing, I feel myself actually having a desire to start doing a little more than sit in front of a computer all day. Wanting friends, company and activity in my life more
A Sexy Birthday
Wow wow I'm 30 now :faint: I've been having mixed feelings about it for months, on one hand I feel pretty bummed out that my 20's are over forever now which seems to be the only age demographic the world still considers fun and cool. On the other hand it has given me a little kick in the bum when it comes to trying to motivate myself to actually be be more fun and cool, since I spent a lot of the past ten years tirelessly working away on my hobbies, most noticeably my art. It's paid off in many ways and kept me busy during a time I didn't really have much else going on, and I definitely want to keep at it. Yet I want to start living a little
