   So quick note to start: if you got a request from Sunpack1990 to redraw a picture of mine, please ignore her or block her or whatever. She's my aforementioned stalker, and after I blocked her myself, she's taken to spamming other artists in order to-- well, hell, I don't really know what she's trying to do. On occasions where people fulfil the requests, she doesn't even acknowledge it, just spams more people.  

Update (August, 31st): so she's been unsuspended for a while and to my utter lack of surprise, I've gotten several comments about her continued bullshit already, but I've been very "fuck it" about it. Then I found out that she's now doing this same thing to other artists and their art, so that suspension really helped a lot, great job, dA mods!  

Update (June, 27th): she's still suspended on dA. So clearly the thing to do is join another art site - some place called ArtStation - and start harassing artists there. In other words, yeah; she's still pulling this shit.

Update (June, 8th): so the mods finally got back to me; she's been suspended for one month and been given a warning. Here's hoping it works.

Actual post: Anyway, so, 'bout a year ago, this ray of sunshine started harassing me to draw more pictures of Sakhmet than the one I'd already made:



Finally, I got sick of her and blocked her, at which point she decided the thing to do was to start harassing other artists to redraw that damn picture of Sakhmet, a good handful of whom would note me to ask for permission. It finally got the point where I put up a note in the image description to the effect of this person being a stalker and a harasser etc. AND THAT'S WHEN THE COMMENTS REALLY STARTED POURING IN.

She's been spamming a lot more people than I originally thought, all out of her weird obsession with this one picture I made. Do you think that's creepy? 'cause I think that's creepy. I think that's really creepy.

So I reported her. And confirming, once again, my utter and complete lack of faith in the dA moderation system, that report has been in the queue for three goddamn weeks, and it doesn't appear to have been even looked at. I've even posted updates to the report about how many people have contacted me (because it's not like she stopped when I reported her; she's still doing this), and I haven't heard back jack shit.

So yeah. That's the situation. I'm just really kinda pissed, you feel me? She's continually spamming a bunch of people, despite being told off several times, in order to, idk, get to me, I guess?? and the moderation team is dragging their feet.

Because, I mean, yes, she is getting to me. Every comment and note I get about her spam is another tally to how many people she's bothering because of her weird obsession with my picture, and I don't want that stain on me, and I don't want that stain on something I drew. Not to mention the utter and complete creepiness of having someone so obsessively focused on what you're doing for over a year.

That's the situation. I posted this mostly so that anyone coming to my page after being pestered by her can see what she's actually up to, and because dA apparently has the world's smallest moderation team. I suppose I'll update this as events warrant. Hopefully, soon, with the mod team having done something.  

I'm not gonna reply to any notes I get from here on in. Shit, I'll probably not even read it.

You kids continue to rock out amongst yourselves.

I'm being pretty productive lately, no denying. It's even worse if you follow me on Tumblr; I pretty much forget to upload half my stuff here.

Hopefully, this is a state of affairs that'll continue.

I say 'hopefully', because this is essentially occupational therapy for me. Like, literally. I'm going through a rough patch and leaning heavily on my crappy doodling to pull me through. So, you know. Might be I should get around to uploading the stuff I keep forgetting, so brace yourselves, just in case.

I've had it for a while, and shamefacedly admit that I use it more than dA at this point. So, y'know, if you want to see cracking new art (and old art), and Works In Progress, head on over:

HAVING WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF GAME OF THRONES I CAN OFFICIALLY CALL IT AWESOME.

Also, dA informs me that it's Earth Day? So, uh, happy Earth Day, I guess.

Oh, and happy Easter.
