Deviation Actions
Well, I've talked about it in private. Mentioned it slightly in public. But now, I think it's time for me to take some action.
I've been a member of DeviantART for a long time (not just on this account, but another as well!). And, while my experience hasn't been perfect, it's been enjoyable for the most part. Some of you whom I met here have become the closest friends a guy can ask for. Others, I will always think highly of you. And then, there's the rest of you, who can go die in a fire. <3 I kid.
Unfortunately, I've noticed that this site has gone...well, a bit downhill from when I started using it. Now, I don't want this to turn into a rant about the staff, or the members, or anything like that. I'll just leave it at "I'm not happy here, and I'd like to move on". Now, does this mean I'm abandoning this site? Absolutely not!
Allow me to explain in detail.
This DA site will still update as far as journals, commissions, and contacting people. However, it will ONLY be used for commissions at this time, unless something forces me to change that in the future.
All of my personal pictures, comics, fanart, or randomness will be posted on my tumblr art blog, located here: crocsartjunk.tumblr.com/ This will be for all of my random Sonic things, ramblings, and such.
For Neo Robia related things, I'll point you to the Neo Robia tumblr: neorobia.tumblr.com/ Please ignore the random reblogs and stuff, I'll be cleaning that up soon. XD But yes, that will be for all official Neo Robia art, comics, or advertising of the episodes.
There is one more site I'm working on, but that's a secret for now. Ssssshhhhh....
I want to make one important thing clear: I AM NOT LEAVING DEVIANTART!! I AM NOT ABANDONING ANYONE HERE!! I'm simply separating a few things, to make them easier to find.

DeviantART Final Journal
After 17 years on this platform, I have made the decision to completely severe ties with DA and remove my gallery. This decision does not come lightly, nor is it in response to the site's apparent all-in support of AI art. In truth, that is only the final straw that has pushed me into making this choice. When I began here back in 2006, I didn't expect much. I mean, c'mon, a guy who draws the Sonic girls as sexy robotic slaves, or shoves them into brainwashing latex suits? There's no way such niche kinks would hit home with very many people. Color me shocked when I quickly gained a large amount of followers and fans. Almost every month, I hear people telling me how they discovered my art when they were young and how much it inspired them. And to say that always warms my heart is an understatement. I am truly grateful. But, I can no longer find the energy to continue supporting this site. AI support, DA points, the horrid site UI, free reign to art thieves, the constant role-players
Commission Information
So, I get a lot of messages asking if I'm open for commissions. And the answer is: Yes. Yes I am. And it's very easy to get one! -Start by going to the following link: https://forms.gle/Q1pqaZSpc9nuTz4T8 -Read my terms, prices, etc, and then fill one one. -Wait to receive an invoice from me, then pay it. -And done! Also, you can check the status of commissions and where you are on the list by checking out my Trello here: https://trello.com/b/y3iRGF7b/chaoscroc-commissions
Concerning Commissions
So a lot of you have messaged or noted me asking about when/if I'll open for commissions. Thing is, I AM open for them. However, this is also my fault because I forgot to tell you all HOW to get one. I'm super sorry about that, and will fix that right now! I do commission streams every Saturday and Sunday on Picarto. And all of my prices and info are on a Google Form that is linked below it. Simply fill out a form, and submit it. I will then invoice everyone on Wednesday, and add you to the queue. And then you just wait for your name to pop up in the queue top spot, which is when I will draw it! Simple! Now, there are two things to keep in mind. First, there is a bit of a wait time. I get a lot of commissions through my Patreon Discord, but I tend to get through the list quickly enough. A rough estimate would be anywhere between 2 weeks to a month, depending on the commissions before you. The second thing is that, if you are not in the stream, all I will do is sketch it out. I will
Sketch Tier on Patreon

I know you're not outright cutting off DA, but I don't know about moving the home base there, I kinda sense a "Vicious cycle" going on, that one of the reasons that DA is "Going downhill" is that popular members are leaving it and making things worse.
