Hi everyone

I just want you to know that I will be deleting a lot of my works here on dA due to personal reasons (if interested why, see below). This will mostly affect works connected to Bleach, Naruto and topics like death, destruction etc.

Hence, if you want to keep your faves, please save them before the end of November 2022, as I will be taking them down then.

Concernig the "why?":

As some of you might know I have spent the last decade dealing with depression, been in and out of clinics and rehabs and am still struggling with it in parts. Thanks be to God that I have survived this far, because yes, suicide was an option often thought of. By now I've learned a lot about myself, what my trigger points are and how to (at least theoretically) deal with my inner life. However that took me long and dark years and I certainly don't want to go back there.

As you might know I'm a follower of Jesus Christ aka a Christian and I rely on God each day to help me through. He recently showed me that I had invited a spirit of death into my life, starting in my childhood. Over the years I dwelled in topics that were connected with death - in retrospect I can see that now. And I have mostly taken those stories and made them my own in some way.

In order to break free from this, I need to radically cut these things off now, for my own good. Cause I certainly don't want to be undermined by death in my life and struggle to survive somehow, no, I want to LIVE my life in joy and freedom.

This is why I have to part ways with big parts of my past life. Those parts include stories like Bleach and other Anime/Manga but also self-made stories/pictures. Everything connected to death in a certain way for myself has to go.

That being said, I do NOT say, that those stories are "bad". Some things might not have been the best on my part, but I really enjoyed the times chatting with people of the same fandom or interest, making friends, spending time, having fun, and I'm really thankful for all you wonderful people I could connect to. Thank you all so much!

Now it's time to open a new chapter in my life. And I hope that you can still find art you like in my gallery.

In the future I want to focus on creating art that reflects life, gives hope, encouragement and will bless the people who see it. I also hope that in a while I will be able to create more art again. The last years have been rather dry concerning new art I'd want to showcase - or any art at all. Moving out of stationary therapy into my first own apartment along with a normal job was a huge step that still isn't finished yet. Most energy is still needed for that.

But also trying to build up a small freelance work so I can have a compensation for my normal job activities by doing more of what gives me energy (music, filming, drawing, writing etc.) while being allowed to get paid for that

So, a lot to do. And I'm gonna start with a cleaning so I can build anew properly.

Thank you all for your time and understanding And I hope that we can still stay connected somehow

Also, feel free to ask questions if there is anything you'd like to know more about

Take care and God bless and protect you guys! Lotsa love to youuuuu

Hi there everyone and

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!!!

Fitting for the season - spring time, Easter - I will do some cleaning up in my gallery, also in hopes of getting more stuff uploaded again.

As most of you have already figured by now - I'm a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, whose resurrection from the dead we celebrate these days

Also in accordance to that... as Jesus died for our sins that our guilt could be forgiven and we'd be able to meet with our heavenly father again (that's why Jesus said "I am the way, no one comes to the father but through me" = his sacrifice and redemption for each of us) and as Jesus overcame death and rose again from the dead, so that everyone who believes in him could receive eternal life (again Jesus' quote: "I am the resurrection and the life, everyone who believes in me will live even when he dies.") .... *inhales* ... therefore I do not want to have "sin" in my life anymore as that is what is standing between me and God.

.... it made Jesus suffer, it brings God pain and yes, he loves me still, even despite my sin, but since my belief isn't just some kinda distanced religion but in fact a relationship with God, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO MAKE GOD SUFFER BECAUSE OF STUPID STUFF.

It's like when you love someone dearly but that loved one just keeps doing stuff you a) don't like b) know it'll harm the other. So you don't stop loving them but you get hurt a LOT each time they do that stuff.

So yeah.

Don't wanna do that on purpose.

Therefore I will look through my uploads and take those down that I don't feel comfortable with displaying anymore - be it because of the picture itself or out of the context in which it is set or was created.

That said, I announce this for you guys so you can save a picture you like before it gets (maybe) taken down

I will probably start next weekend (18./19.), so you have the next days to look around.

Also in case you couldn't read this before I took action - feel free to hit me up and ask about a picture. Maybe I can send you a file of it if you'd really like to have it

So, take care everyone and I pray God will save you and your loved ones - let's take care of each other in this unique time and use it for the things that maybe got neglected in all our busily scurrying about-life but are actually important to us

LOADS OF HUGS TO YOU GUYS!!! LOVE YA!!!
