A surprising turn of events
I received a message from Deviant Art today about my protection expired. I haven't been a Core Member in a long time. I can't even remember when I lost all my credit cards to Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
I guess it's about time to become a Core Member again. It looks like I lost my DA points too. *merp*
It's okay. It has been a rough 4th decade of my life within that span of 2 years. 
You can read all about it in my Blogger.
It took me a year to regain my credit history back in good standing after 7 years in suspension of Chapter 13. Now that this is official 
, I will try my best to post my artwork here instead of Instagram. I do have a Tumblr account, but that's for my therapy journal. I don't mind a comment or two over there. Just know that you're not going to see a lot of activity on my Tumblr as I've been managing my anxiety and depression fairly well. I only post there when the attacks get pretty bad.
For those of you new to my page, I am a hobbyist. 
I work on various crafts. I started out as an abstract water color artist. My childhood buddy encouraged me to dive into different forms of art. I've tried most; if not, all of them. My favorite is still traditional art. I've been challenging myself with a few of my DA friends, whom I later found out were very famous Comic Artists! 😲 I'm not close to their level yet, but their encouragement has helped me grow to love the fundamentals of art all over again. 
I'm an expert circle artist.

Overall, good stuff is happening in my life. Stay tuned! Thanks for staying with me 
What's up with me?
It's been forever since I posted here. A lot has happened in my life. I'm getting back into my space of creativity. Eventually I will be posting here. As of right now, I'm picking up the scattered pieces of my life back to where I need it to be.
Let me tell you that self-care is important. It doesn't matter who you are. No; I'm not going to give a big speech or a sermon about how one should prioritize one's life. Let's face it - you're not me; I'm not you. You live your life the way you see fit. Don't be an ass about it either.
With the type of work I'm doing, I can't make it a habit to voice my political views or ideologies to the public. Hey, if you ever need a pal whom you want to spend time just listening to you, by all means send me a DM over on IG or here.
The world needs more kindness and unconditional love. I'm going to do my best to make the world a better place while I'm still breathing.
Thanks for still being here with me.
Inktober 2017
If you haven't already, follow my Instagram, @Zereuwk (Because someone took LAvenus79 - can you believe that? I've had this handle since 1998) Anyway, I'm not mad. Just surprised.
Thanks again for your support.

Dungeons and Dragons
The first time I tried playing D&D when I rolled as a Ranger half-elf, I missed. The DM had mocked me, "You might as well not have bothered shooting an arrow at the harpy." On my second combat, I shot my foot. After that, the DM gave up and told me to forget about playing D&D at all.
After some convincing and encouragement, I gave my best to try. Everyone in the group has been really helpful. I thought I would just note my adventures here since my other blog is dedicated to my World of Warcraft character. I could just make another blog, but I figured this would be a better avenue since I can link my artwork directly from my gallery.
I created a Rogue lightfoot halfling. I'm still working on her history. For now, I have to gather up all my notes about her and upload the stats. I have some downtime before I start my busy schedule at a new job within the next 2 weeks or so. Thank you for sticking by me.
