I've decided to leave DeviantArt. It's been in my mind for quite some time now. I wanted to leave DA after I've finished my Yoshian Guardian Project artwork, but it seems that I can't do it. When I was at my hometown, I realized that I won't be able to do good arts if I'm always distracted online, always at DeviantArt.

This is basically the reason why I've been your artworks without commenting (most of it), to “ prepare ” myself before leaving. You can see that I've been your arts recently. I'm sorry I have not comment in most of your arts, but I like it. I can’t comment in all of it, it’ll take a REALLY long time if I do so

In order to make good artworks, I need to get away from my beloved homeplace, DeviantArt. It's really hard for me to let it go so easily.

To be honest, the reason why I join DeviantArt and do artworks is because I want to show people that I shouldn't be looked down or underestimate me, that I have an inner talent and be appreciated. Not only that, I want to be myself and do what I like best. I even told myself that I will become one of the greatest digital artists. I know it sounds silly, but it's my main goal in life. In order to accomplish my goal, I have to work hard. I want to spread my wings. But the real reason why I’m leaving is because I had many memories about DA, good and bad. I want to leave those memories as it is, sealing the storybook that I’ve composed.

Also, I've given up having my revenge against a certain someone who hurt me about a silly copyright argument more than a year ago. I hate it when people claim a part of the body to be theirs, it’s just not fair for others. I was in total anguish, full of hatred towards that person. But I've given up, I never want to stoop to her level anyway. I'm not that kind of person who would do that, that's not who I really am. Even so, I still want my revenge...

Well, it's time to say goodbye. But could you promise me something? Please don’t leave DeviantArt. Who knows? Maybe I'll be back in DeviantArt with a surprise, with a whole new experience. I may not be the same Alex as I am now in the future though. I would be sad if any of my dear friends left without knowing, but we all have to let go what is dear to us, to let them have their freedom.

But You can still contact my. My email address is already in my DA page so if you like, you can email me what's happening around DA.

I've just updated my friends list, check it out: [link]


I'm really going to miss you all. Please, take care everyone! Byzex!

Oh, and Happy Valentines Day.
