I'll try to make as brief of an explanation as possible.

Yes, I am pretty much done with deviantArt at this point, due to stalkers and questionable moderation.

Because of the aforementioned stalkers, my interest of drawing had been demoralized severely.

In order to try and re-invigorate that interest, I stopped posting on dA to demotivate those who stalked me and ripped off my drawings. That's why I never informed my watchers until now of any sort of hiatus, as that would also alert those stalkers and stimulate their behavior.

I really don't know what else to say at this point. I don't expect solutions or consolation from anyone here, as this monologue only serves as to explain what is happening and to alleviate stress from myself; I figured not saying anything about this situation would hurt me more than if I did.

I still draw things and I don't intend to ever remove this account, so I believe that there may be a slight chance for a return one day, but for now, sorry for the trouble.

EDIT: I do not want to discuss any off-site artistic endeavors, so please do not ask where I post drawings now or anything regarding alternative accounts.
