Let's just start by saying that I've been thinking about this for a long time now. And I mean a really long time, as in several years now...
In case anyone reads this: Yes, I'm still alive, and yes, I'm aware that I haven't uploaded anything on DeviantArt for a very long time (I still log in every now and then to look at my pageviews and to see if anything has happened, though).
No, I'm not having any sort of crisis in my life, it's just that after having found two of my uploaded pictures (both of them being of Fimo clay figurines of animals in jars) on websites other than DeviantArt, it kinda made me lose my motivation to upload any more pictures of my creations. I still make new figurines sporadically, but I don't have as much time for that now as I did before, and the new ones look very different from the ones I have uploaded here, both in that they don't look as grotesque (well, mostly) and don't live in jars, but also because my artistic skill has improved with time.
I don't think I'll ever upload any of my own, original clay creations again, but I've been thinking sometimes that maybe I could upload a piece of fanart that I made fairly recently (finished it in autumn 2018 - hey, that IS recently in my world!). But then I'm a bit afraid that people will copy the picture and spread it all over the Internet (or at least at some weird, generic image website, like what happened to two of my figurines), or that someone else will try to take credit for it and say that they made this thing instead of me.
I know that people can be very disrespectful on the Internet, very much so and very often, but at the same time I'm quite surprised to see the opposite too, among the fandom (or at least the subreddit) of the thing that I made fanart of. That people actually take care not to sell or buy unofficial fanmerch of this thing (because there is no official merch of this), for example. But still, I've got no idea of what would happen if I uploaded a picture of my piece of fanart. I don't even know if anyone would even look at it to begin with, because I always become a fan of something when it's "too late" and the thing's heyday is over and people think of it as "old" and just not interesting anymore. But still, this thing (the thing that I made fanart of) probably hasn't come to an end just yet, even if some people seem to think so.
I can't decide whether I should upload a picture of the thing I made or not. Will the picture get "stolen"? Will someone else claim that they made it? Or will it stay here on DeviantArt in peace? Will people look at it or not? Would anyone even care? I must say, sometimes I feel kinda tempted to upload a picture, because I'm quite happy with how my piece of fanart turned out. I'd say it's rather... Nifty.
Any puns related to the thing I've made fanart of are purely intentional!

No, I'm not telling what this is about...

Slowly crawling my way back I guess?

Somehow it feels like I want to say that I'm sorry for that last Journal entry. That just doesn't feel right anymore, it feels like I was just trying to find something to blame, and it just happened to be DeviantArt itself that "got in the way"...
Things are changing now, and it feels like my inspiration (and/or motivation) is slowly coming back to me. I don't want to talk too much about personal things here, but I'll say this... Different people to work with! Different things to do! And a really important letter in the mail!
I have actually started on a new pony to customise, and it's looking good so far! Maybe I'll even go so far that I'll upload something soon? Who knows?
I'm playing Pokemon Y like mad today, and look what day it is today (October ELEVENTH, holy cheez!)! Some stores started selling them a bit early, at least here in Sweden... Oops!

Yes, it's true. I haven't felt that very motivated to upload things on DeviantArt for a while, but it has gotten even worse now. I really, really dislike all these new updates. Uploading stuff is more tricky and boring now that I have to use that sta.sh thing, and I really don't like the idea of visible keywords and visible names (even though I haven't even written my name here, but DeviantArt isn't supposed to be Facebook!). And don't even get me started on the extremely distracting pageview thing and the new comment system... I actually liked to type out the codes for the emoticons myself, it's kinda like when I was learning HTML and it felt like I was actually doing something by typing the code myself, you know?
I don't feel like uploading things here anymore, and it's probably all this new, annoying SHZSHI!${~? that made me lose the will and motivation that it takes for me to actually get around to upload anything. It may sound silly and weird, but I do actually need to feel motivated enough before I upload something. I need to feel that I'm ready. But now I don't, and I probably won't feel like I'm ready for this again for quite some time now.
OK, it's not just because of DeviantArt itself, but I don't want to talk to much about personal things here. Life isn't always that easy, that's all I can say.
But no matter what, I won't delete my profile or the things I've uploaded (unless there's a really severe crisis on DeviantArt). I just don't feel like doing anything here right now. Who knows if/when I'll upload anything new? In two months? Two years? I don't know! And I wonder if it would be a good idea or not to create a profile on a different website? One that doesn't get all screwed up everytime you think that you've gotten the hang of how you should use it...
(Wrote some more on August 27:th) ...What I meant by "I just don't feel like doing anything here right now" is that I don't feel like uploading anything right now. I still log in regularly to see if anything new has happened, and to look at stuff. Also, I'm not angry at any person here on dA, I'm just tired of all the sucky updates on dA itself. Not that anyone has asked me, I just felt like mentioning this anyway. Just in case anyone was wondering. Also, sorry for the unusually whiny Journal, but this is just the way I feel right now.

The jackdaw saga continues
2 min read
At first I wanted to keep making updates to the previous journal entry, but it would probably just get too messy with all these pictures (yeah, one picture and a plz icon), so I decided to write a completely new one instead.
I guess you could say I'm finished working on the jackdaw now. I dried the wings, feet and tail in the oven, and they look just like in that picture now, except that they're maybe not as blurry in real life. Read more about it at the other side of the picture... (I haven't added a thumbnail like that before, but you can click them, right?)
Also, I saw a movie. I asked my dad something about this movie a long time ago (I don't even remember what exactly I asked him), and all he said was that he thought that the movie sucked.
Me: "But what is the movie like?"
Him: "It sucks!"
Me: "What happens in the movie?"
Him: "Dunno. It sucks!"
Me: ....(more generic questions about the movie)
Him: "It was a long time ago I saw the movie and I don't remember much from it, but it sucks anyway!"
Guess what? The movie didn't suck! Ha!
You talkin' to me? Oh yeah? I told you my movie didn't suck!
I made that plz icon!
