Goodbye, Deviantart

Description

As you read above, I'm going to be leaving deviantart.
I plan on submitting this, maybe grab a few things, and then never coming back.
Why?
Well, because God wants me to.

As my profile picture shows, I am a Christian.
However, recently, I've been trying to be, well, a better Christian than I have been.
I've been trying to clean up my life this past month or two, and have been getting rid of things via God's instruction.
And today God told me to cut out deviantart.
Whelp.
Who am I to argue?

You may think I'm silly or strange for doing this, but I'd rather obey God than seem reasonable.
And if you've seen most of my work, you'll know I wasn't all there to begin with.
:P

I will still be updating my comic Handsome and Hideous.
However, I will be uploading to Tapastic primarily from now on.
[EDIT]
I took Handsome and Hideous down, both here and soon on Tapastic.
I plan on publishing HaH one day, and having stuff free online wouldn't help sales.
Also...for other reasons.</b>
And for those of you who think this is secretly a popularity thing...it's not.
It's really not.
Sure, I may have more readers on Tapastic (that I'm aware of), but it's still not that many.
If this was REALLY about views and readership, then I'd hop on over to Webtoons.
(I have been thinking of eventually uploading HaH there, but only once the comic is 100% finished.)
This is purely a religious thing, I promise.
If it were up to me, then I'd upload all the pages of HaH on both Tapastic and DA, like I've been doing so far.
But, well, I'm trying to put God in charge.

So, goodbye, deviantart.
It's been fun.

Shame I didn't come back sooner to more likely be able to say a better-timed "Goodbye." I hope you'll remember to not have any regrets with the choices you make, and to always have the resolve to keep moving onward in life. A lot of your Okami work is what brought my attention towards you, and I was definitely amused by it. Make sure you make peace if your clothes start showing sentience. Thank you for the work you have done. Your's is a Deviantart life not worth resetting.
