Okay, this has been a while coming.
I have no idea what on Earth has happened to this community. I've spent literally hundreds of hours making art to enhance a game you enjoy playing, and it seems that there's sadly little people who care about that. There's been some very nice feedback, definitely, and especially those couple of donations made my day. But the fact is, most of the feedback I seem to get (particularly by email) is just a collection of profanity. The messages on Kong also seem to show an alarmingly negative trend, and for a while, I was fine with that. But now that I can't even play PVP1 or PVP2 without someone bitching at me for the art I made, I've had more than enough of it.
I'll stick around painting and running Art Class once I get my PC back from the repair shop, might pop up in chat once in a while too. But on the whole.. I'm done.
