I'm not sure if anybody still follows me seriously after my long, dead silence and if this is just a shout into the ether - but I might as well bring some form of closure on this particular chapter of my life.
It took me a while, but I've got an excellent art teacher now and I'm working hard to achieve a professional standard in my work - something I've always wanted to do. It's been hard to find the motivation and the help I needed to get better, and the fact that I finally am is incredible for me.
Since I'm no longer going to focus purely on ponies - though pony art will still be a thing - I'm going back to my old account, ~Infalle (https://www.deviantart.com/infalle).
