So, it seems I'm back. For now.

I have an iPhone, which makes me far more likely to check DA than before. I go through phases where I don't want to be on a computer at all, and those are generally the times I tend to disappear from the internet. But my new phone allows me to be online without having to sit at a desk, yay!

I am slowly coming to terms with my fickle, wanderlust-y nature. As such, I can't say with any certainty that I'll actually stick around for good. I can say, however, that if I vanish again, I'll be back again, too. I always am. :3

I am still going to school (Academy of Art University, for those who don't know). I am always learning more and more, and for the last year or two my gallery never reflects my current knowledge and potential skill. It seems I need to roll up my sleeves and put together a portfolio (at least something more finished than what art I have posted here!). Now I just wish I could find my motivation...

I'll likely also be cleaning things up around here. Journals and art might vanish or get re-organized. I may even find myself changing accounts, though I'll probably mull that one over the next year (to avoid a spontaneous and unnecessary account jump). Utaunna is not my signature, but I am currently debating what my professional signature should be. Perhaps I'll have a poll?

A note on speed sketches: I'm not accepting anymore requests. I haven't decided if I'll finish the current ones or if I'll regretfully scrap the project entirely. It is my hope that by not entirely giving-up I will eventually finish, but sometimes I cannot tell vain optimism from real probability.

Anywho, back to homework.
