Woah. I'm back.

3 min read
I left this account inactive for over a month? Ouch. Times have been busy recently, what with the holiday season, new year and schoolwork, but hey, I'm back now!
So, as always, to all of you; (my lovely lovely watchers ;))

Hello Again by Draqualoon
(I've been playing FE:Awakening recently, leave me alone. :XD:)

I swear time has just crept up on me, it seriously hasn't felt like (over a) month since I was last active! I hope I didn't miss out on much. 0_0' (I'm still writing 2016 on some of my pieces of schoolwork...I really need to get a better grasp on time! ^^;)

Ahhhh Hiatus by Draqualoon
I can't stress enough how much I've WANTED to talk to all of you guys and upload more art (as well as finishing...very overdue requests. Cough.) but I really just haven't had the time! :cries:
HOWEVER!
All of that is going to change! I'm determined to be active regularly on this account, so every Saturday will be when I'm online/uploading art AT LEAST. 
Maybe you all wouldn't really mind if I was active or not, but I do, so there! :giggle: (All of my previous accounts on DA died because I wasn't active on them...that's not going to happen to this one!)

Anyway, here's the big topic....
So Behind On Requests Like by Draqualoon

REQUESTS

Yeah, the thing I'm always going on about makes a vengeance. 
Requests are difficult for me at the best of times when I'm free during the holidays, but recently, with increased workload from school and all that, I'm finding it increasingly hard to actually have the MOTIVATION to draw proper, well thought out and planned art things...(The drawings included in this journal are the typical things I'll doodle without thought, and are pretty much all I'm drawing right now unfortunately :ohnoes:)
So for now, I can't guarantee I'll either
a) finish a given request
b) Get it done within a specific time allocation
In addition, as to prevent further sticky situations involving requests, art trades and the like, I will be having a slot system.

So...what is a slot system?

I'm sure you've all seen it elsewhere on DA, but I'll keep 4 'slots' open for requests etc, and once they're full, I won't take any further requests. This way, I can efficiently handle requests and there'll be no disappointments - win, win right?

For now though, requests will be on a temporary hiatus - honestly, I haven't got the time to be dishing out requests alongside other artwork to keep this account alive, I hope all of you understand... :(

But hey, hopefully it won't be too long!
Anyways, it's good to be back!

Draqua, signing out! :w00t:

Wow...I can't believe it!
100+ watchers! :faint:
Seriously, this is such an achievement for me...when I first started my account 4 months ago, I never saw myself here! It's kinda surreal to be honest! :giggle:
So to all my watchers...
Thank You by Draqualoon

It means so SO much to me...! :huggle:
Special thanks to the watchers who have stayed with me from the very beginning! You're amazing! :blushes:
Every single one of my watchers help me keep this account running, and let me take a certain pride in my art! In real life, I judge my stuff so so harshly, so it's so nice to see people enjoying my art! It really makes it all worthwhile. :nod:
I love interacting with all of you, and it makes me so happy to see all the support you all give!

YOU'RE AMAZING! :squee: :squee: :squee: :squee: :squee:

But as this is a special time for me, I decided I'd do something special....
Introducing my...
Eevee Colourless by Draqualoon


Yup, I'm doing a little Q&A! ^^ If you have any questions for me, whether it be about my art or about me in general, feel free to ask! :w00t:

...I hope you guys have questions, otherwise this'll be embarrassing! ^^;

Anyway, as always, to all my GREAT GREAT watchers...
Thanks for the support and here's to the future! :dance:

I'm pleased to say that...
I've started work on my requests again!
(Whoop!)

It's good to be back! :nod:
Thanks for your patience with me, haha XD


(...I also need to filter some of my stuff into groups...the mobile app isn't great for that.)

Gosh I'm so so sorry for the recent inactivity on here! :(
School work is piling on and whilst I still do draw, they're only little doodles and things...I haven't touched my computer for digital art in like...a week or so?

Anyway, I'm hoping to finish off requests and such I got over the summer soon, but I can't say when it will be - hopefully I'll get some done this half term coming up (around 15th October)

So yeah, that kinda sucks. But I update my tumblr fairly regularly with random doodles so check it out if you're interested :nod:
(draqualoon.tumblr.com)

Thanks for your patience guys, and hopefully I'll be up and running once again soon! :w00t:

Update...kinda?

Oh god it's been so long since I posted something! :0
Ah, well - I'm back from Cyprus, fully recovered, and ready to draw!

...is what I wish I could say, but school says otherwise.
Yup, school starts tomorrow for me...and the workload is going to get shifted quite high. As such...it may be hard for me to actually get drawing stuff I wanna draw in my own free time for this account...^^;

As such, please be patient for requests and other arty things such as art trades and all that, I'm going to be very busy from now on....

I'll be a lot more active on my tumblr ----> draqualoon.tumblr.com

(You might see occasional doodles and real life stuff on there)

Here's to the future!
