Hey everyone,
As I sit here, ready to pen down the closing chapter of our beloved group, I am overwhelmed with a medley of emotions. Our journey here on DeviantArt, for over 12 years, has been nothing short of a creative odyssey. A journey that began as a project of passion in my teenage years, a space where we could dare to dream and bring those dreams to life through our art.
Our Collective Masterpiece
Every illustration, every sketch, every piece of art you've shared has been a testament to the boundless human creativity that this group was built to celebrate. We've grown together, learned from each other, and most importantly, we've inspired each other to push the boundaries of our imaginations. We've woven together an intricate tapestry of art that I am immensely proud to have been a part of.
A Change in Seasons
However, as we all know, everything has its season. As the years passed, I found myself growing distant from the group, a sign perhaps of the inevitable changes that come with growing older. Now, after much thought, I have decided to archive our group, a testament to our collective creativity that I hope will continue to inspire future artists.
Preserving Our Creative Heritage
This does not signify an end, but rather a beautiful pause. The group will be effectively archived, a living museum of our creative spirits. No new content can be submitted, but the existing treasure trove of art will continue to exist for everyone to admire.
A Call to Keep Creating
While this decision brings with it a heavy heart, I find solace in the fact that our creations will persist, continuing to spread inspiration far and wide. As for each one of you, I urge you to keep the fires of your creativity burning. Continue to express yourselves, continue to challenge the norms, and continue to create.
Always remember, art is an expression of the soul. And as long as our souls yearn to communicate, to tell a story, to leave a mark, we will never stop creating. The world is a canvas, and you are the artists with the power to paint it with colors of your choosing.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for sharing this journey with me. It's been an honor to lead this group, and to witness firsthand the immense talent within our community. As I sign off, I want to leave you with a simple, yet powerful reminder: Keep making amazing creations. The world needs them.
Yours in creativity,
~Studio F19
