It's been a while since I've written a journal, and it saddens me that I have to write one about art thievery after so long.
There's this website and from what I can tell, it steals art for them to sell for profit. Seeing as most (if not, a fair amount of) artists here on dA post art for free, I will not stand for this. Now, I know this isn't something new. This kind of bullshit has happened before, but that doesn't excuse anything.
I guess it was about time they stole my art: payposter.com/search?key=ciphe…
You think they'd have decent enough taste to steal my newer ones, but nope, I guess whoever/whatever runs the site (even if it's just an automated program) is pretty stupid at best. Hell, they even stole one of my drawings, crappy camera quality and all.
Now, I have no idea whether this site has been around for long, or if it only just popped up recently. I don't know about the amount of traffic this website gets, and some of you might see it as a harmless threat that won't get any traction. But regardless of anything I just said, art thievery is still not a right thing to do, and artists should not stand for it, especially if the thieves try to sell the stolen art for money.
I'm fairly certain no one is going to buy anything from that website, but the idea of them actually trying to profit from something most people do for free kind of makes me lose more of my already dwindling faith in Humanity.
It's even happened to some of my friends, and I'm pretty sure it has happened to others as well.
That's all I have to say, really. I'm not gonna waste any more time. May the winds of time carry you for eternity. Caelum desuper, et tenebris infra.

I'm back.
It's been a while. Such a long while, it seems, that the entire website is basically unrecognisable from the site I left almost two years ago. Time really does fly. Now that I'm mostly back, there are things I want to do with my gallery and art - things I've been wanting to do for quite a while back when I was active, but was too lazy to do. My gallery will be purged. Not entirely, mind you, but a fair amount of my art will be deleted, so if you wish to save/download any of my art, now is the time to do it. It will likely be gone soon. Looking back on all my old art, I can't really help but feel embarrassed at all of them, especially that one comic I wanted to do but then the realisation that making a comic is hard hit my 16-17 year old self like a cement truck. My gallery will also be reorganised. Things that you find in "Featured" may not be there after reorganisation, and may be in a different folder. The "Featured" section will be for art that I feel deserves to be there - as a
Maybe it's time to move on
There is no other way of saying this, but I'm pretty much moving on from deviantART. Maybe I'll come back, maybe I won't.
Truth of the matter is, I'm not as enthusiastic about this site as I was half a decade ago. Back when I was just an overly optimistic, immature 15-year-old, I didn't think much about the future. I thought I would stay here forever, making Sonic stuff for the rest of this site's existence.
But I never took into account of something that eventually happens to everyone - a change of interest. As I grew older, I lost interest in the things I wanted to make when I was younger. I'm not the Sonic fan I used to be five years ago
Why I've been gone so long (again)
So... I've been inactive for months again. So, what happened?
Well, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not as enthusiastic about putting stuff up on this website as I used to be. Perhaps I've grown out of this website. Perhaps.
But in any case, know that I'm still around, even if it's not as often anymore.
And even though it's a month overdue, thanks for the birthday messages.
I'm back - and why I've been gone for so long
Hey all. CipherZeroSixtyFour here, and I'm back. Kept you waiting, huh?
It's been a very long time since I've set foot back in deviantART - so long that my notifications are almost at the six-digit mark. So, what happened to me? Why was I gone for such a long time?
First of all, I felt like I had to distance myself from this website for a bit. No idea what exactly caused me to feel this way, but I needed a break from deviantART. So I turned to Twitter, instead. And if you guys actually follow me there, you'll notice that I'm still relatively active there.
Secondly, it's the shift in the kind of fanart I've been doing. I've built this accou
