Hello dear fellow deviants!

Some still remember me, to some I'm unknown. I've been on deviantart for many years now but have been inactive since my last post in 2015.
I had to take a step back from deviantart because my life was a complete mess. I had to work very hard for my future without any help from outside. There were times I wanted to give up but today I'm glad I made it through and it made me stronger than ever. 

However I wasn't totally inactive in the art section. I made a further education and recently became an illustrator, which had been my dream for a long time. Back in the old days I hadn't had enough self confidence to do this. I always thought I wasn't good enough, not only at art.
Today I can look into the future much more positiv. Some of you may now I had been sick with depression. It still gets me sometimes. Some days are good and some days are like hell. Other people with long term depression can probably relate to this. I can't get rid of the black dog, it will always stay a part of me but I've learned to accept it and to live with it.

When I came back to dA a few days ago I was worried if I would have been completely forgotten but luckily that wasn't the case! I was so happy when I was contacted by a few people and they were happy I was back. I even gained a whole bunch of new followers and now I'm very close to having 3000 watchers!

...And so we are coming to our little question round that's directed especially to the newer followers. Is there anything you want to now about me or my art then you can question me now as much as you like.

Also happy international cat day! I made a little something to celebrate this:

I really like the 'derpy' looking one in the middle above. :P

Very important message! Please share this journal so everyone can see it.

Today I was randomly browsing google app store when I suddenly stumbled upon an app and thought "Hey, that's my picture on it?!" I realized it was a dragon wallpaper app and while it doesn't cost anything they do make money through advertisments.

They claim to have approved if any pictures are copyrighted, what they obvisibly didn't.

Even worse they REMOVED WATERMARKS on every picture! While I couldn't find any more of my own art besides the picture I've drawn as a gift for Shinerai I recognized some of other people here on deviantart like Sunima and sandara and many many more.

I'm going to ask my lawyer what to do about this case and I'd suggest you to do the same if your images are among the app. JUST REMOVING THE IMAGES WON'T HELP! They still make money with other peoples images. The app needs to be shut down and the creators punished.

Please share this and if you know the artists of the pictures please tell them!

Heres a link to the app:

For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!

If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

I just wanted to thank all the people who faved, watched, commented my artworks within the last weeks.
It means very much to me but sadly I've got no time to thank you all personally, so I wrote this journal (it's also my first one). I promise, that I'll work hard to become a better artist and hope that you'll support me like always.
THANK YOU :)
