How NOT to quit an account:

Ah, Sonic fan artists. Some of DA's most talented, but also those with some of the most fragile psyches.

Man, does this happen too often on DA. It's one thing to feel stuck in a rut, & to want to experiment & want to draw something new & original. I fully sympathize with that. But why do artists like these think that they need to make a new account just to get a bit of a fresh start? Why not just keep going & doing something new? Afraid your fans will get angry? Because if they do, they're so not your fans.

Also, deleting your entire gallery once you move: F***ING ANNOYING. That's basically just giving a big middle finger to everyone who's supported you over the years & loved all the kickass artwork you made. I know you're afraid of theft as well, but geez, at least think about a few watermarks first. >_<

But the worst part of this is that Winona here takes it one step further by actually disowning her character Venus ( [link] ), a simple, fun, & really cute & lovable creation that I'd definitely feel proud to have thought up. And she even asks people to delete all fan art of her? Damn, that is just cruel.

I mean, imagine if musicians acted like this. Your favorite band either gets tired of their current sound or loses a member, & what happens? They destroy all their master tracks, recall all their albums, demand no one play their songs anymore, etc., all that just because they wanted to try something new.

So, *WinonaHeart (or whatever name her new account has, consider yourself one of the poorest examples of how to deal with art block. Madam, the pointy finger of shame shall forever be aimed straight towards you. >:[
