Life update
Hi all! It's been a few years since I've really been active. I've been really restless for a long time now, trying different art websites, and eventually only moving to my discord group mostly. Truth is I've always felt massive pressure producing art ever since I tried to pursue it as a career, and I've worked myself into a massive burnout. Handling life with unmedicated ADHD and a chronic physical illness really didn't help. I'm doing okay now, I resigned my art business about a year ago now, and I've barely picked up the pencil since. I'm now working/studying nature management. I work outdoors all day, and I've felt my mental health improve massively, and I now see how bad my situation really was a few years back. I feel my inspiration and love for art returning now, and I hope to get back into finishing a few owed things and then just doing non commission work for a while to see how I feel. I hope some of you are still active here! I hope to share things again soon :) wishing
Hello, It's been a while!
A message and a question to you, the reader! It's been a hot minute since I've been on DA. I do regularly check notifications, and to the new watchers I'd like to say welcome! To anyone who is still here, how have you been? I'd like to get a little more active again. I mainly have a lot of sketches, unfinished stuff. I would like to ask you, the watchers, are you still active? And do you have anything you'd like to see from me? About my current projects and what hole I just crawled out of I've not been active here, or anywhere really! Instagram is probably my most active social media platform(velkss_art). I am, however, pretty active on my discord server! It is mainly a place to stay in touch with arcanus development ( my world building and species project). But it did become more than that. You can also share in our general art servers, and join the chit chat. Until the ARPG is set up (yes, it's not dead, we just have to wait for the website to go in testing phase) we do host
Where else to find me
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velkss_art/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/velkss_?lang=en I really try to settle in on the new DeviantArt, and I won't leave, but I hate to say I'm struggling. I'm mainly a mobile user and DeviantArt currently doesn't feel mobile or PC friendly. I'm still working on the ARPG tho, but I might settle for an off-site option after all if any good opportunities present themselves. Please let me know what you prefer! Or if you have no preference.

I've been through a lot. I'm currently in middle school.
When I was three or so, my mom's back started having problems. I can't really remember what they are, but I know they were bad. So bad that she became addicted to the painkillers the doctors gave her for her surgeries. She ran her own business, being a talented speech therapist. My dad worked all day and the majority of the night, and I never saw him. Our business spiraled into debt, and we lost our house. I remember my mom and dad always fighting, screaming and shouting. I developed an eating disorder, to where food is my comfort. I was terrified of my mom, as well. My dad gave me everything he could, which spoiled me. My mom was in and out of rehab, but she never got better. We've moved a total of sixteen times now... Only once did we move our of our town, though. I gained weight, and turned obece. I always drew pictures, but often they were unsatisfying and they made me depressed. My only Savior was the internet, which turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, if you'll excuse the expression. I've never told anyone this before, either... There was this guy. He was so cool, and fun to play video games with. As far as I knew, he lived in Canada. But... All he really was, was a thirsty little bitch. He convinced me to roleplay sexual situations with me over Skype, saying that he wouldn't be my friend anymore. Eventually, it grew to video skyping.. I won't go into detail. I didn't know it was wrong;my parents were either in jail or didn't notice. Eventually, I broke it off with him, with him threatening to upload videos of me naked to the internet. I was so depressed, but I found hope in the school talent show. My hero, my social worker, Mrs.Teuber told me to try out for it. I got a spot in the show, and I sang my heart out. However, they played the music too loud, and it wasnt instrumental. Everyone in my school thought I lip synced, and shunned me even moit.. My grades were all horrible, I was even bullied by some of my teachers. Even my best friends shunned me. One day, another hero in my life came for me. My aunt flew up to where I was from Texas, and she took me down there to live with her. She saved my life, and I love her. My dad kept drinking, and not getting better. I lost weight, and things were looking up. I took to digital drawing. I joined swim team. I was going to stay with all of my wonderful Texan friends for another year. Everything was just so great... Even if my eating disorder took control of me now and then. My grades were almost perfect now, I was so happy...
Then, my aunt moved. We had to, her landlord was pretty much evil. The school wouldn't let me go to it, because I ha d moved out of the range for it. I cried, and cried. My aunt took my computer away, which meant deeper depression. I missed my new, awesome online friends. I ate more. I was so depressed... I felt tired and almost empty. My aunt didn't even notice. I moved up with my mom, who's finally better.. Thank God. I'm now making friends, but missing my best friends from Texas. I even have a crush, who I'm very tentative towards. Even though my dad is getting better, he's so different. I just long for the good times, before. I miss him, the way he was. Now, I dread visiting him. My parents are now divorced, and I'm living with my mom and one of my brothers. I'm starting to hate my family for no reason, except for my mom and my precious brother. I don't know what to do. I'm always running away, my problems chasing me like demons. Thanks for reading, guys. I appreciate it
