It's been a fun couple of years here on Deviant Art, but I think it's time to call it quits. I've met a lot of cool people through this website, and I enjoyed the time I spent sharing my work with you guys, but it's becoming more and more apparent that no matter what I do here, my comics will always be taken and distributed without proper citation. Drawing comics is something I would like to one day do for a living, and if my own work can't be attributed to me with the way things are right now, then I need to figure out a way to make that happen.
I will continue to do my comics as usual, but I will not be uploading them anywhere other than my own personal website
[link] and on my Tumblr
[link], so be sure to follow me there. Deviant Art is a great place to get noticed, but the community here is very niche and I feel like I've gone as far as I can go. If I ever do delve into the world of flash animation, I will certainly upload them here on Deviant Art, and I might upload some random doodles here and there, but that's about as much as I'll do. I still get notes from people trying to contact me here. If you want to contact me for whatever reason, email me at keatonstoos@gmail.com.
Remember, guys. Art is a person's lifework. Every image you've ever seen on the internet was created by somebody. There's a reason why I write my signature on every comic I do, and when that signature gets erased the comic becomes just another random image in some anonymous internet user's "funny picture" folder. I do appreciate that people enjoy what I do, but I would also like it to be attributed to a source.
Now I'm just rambling. Thanks for the fun times guys.

this journal 
Total prizes reach 1000 
But of course there are always the rules......
Please please please fave the journal!
Make another journal about this giveaway and provide a link of that journal in the comments (this will help spread the word about this giveaway)
1. Your art will get stolen anywhere on the internet where people can download your image (=everywhere). Limiting your audience isn't going to prevent that.
2. You said that one day you want to do this for a living. But to be able to go that route, you need to get your name out there, and dA is perfect for that. Lot's of pros started out here.
Again, I respect your choice and will miss your comics popping up in my devwatch. I will follow you on tumblr, absolutely, but I don't think everyone will.
