Valere iubere me fidelis!

Well my fellow Deviants I feel that it is time for me to bid farewell to the site that has been like a social club to me as well as also being the single most influencial factor of my developing artistic talents. I am saying goodbye to the once amazing DeviantArt and the always unbelievably fantastic Deviants that made this site the pinnacle of the art communities scattered about the internet.

.....is a deviant since Oct 24, 2004 10:00pm

I have been using DeviantArt for some time now, well just over a year in fact and in those 13 months I have met some of the most amzing people and artists that a man like myself could ever hope to meet, produced pieces that at times I did not even think I had in me, and just had a fantastic time having my eyes opened to the world of art on a huge scale. The reason that I am leaving is that I feel I am spending too much time online at the moment and not getting enough creative work done. I am starting my own company as you all know and this is going to have to become my second most important priority second only to the lady in my life, and I need to concentrate on both her and the mission I have set myself out upon.

There are no other real specific reasons for this I just feel that I need to get my ass in gear and start moving along with what I need to do. As it stands at the moment I am making a completely clean break and will not be revisiting DeviantART other than to check up on my many friends here and see how their art work is coming along. I am also hoping that my friends here will keep in touch with me via email and I promise that I will reply to any and all emails sent my way. Please keep in touch folks! You can email me personally at:

david@synoptic-media.com

Or professionally at:

info@synoptic-media.com

I am leaving all my art here for the moment and will be removing both all my pieces from this account as well as my ~Ionize account as soon as I have my website finished and have completed the layout for the Gallery/Portfolio section. Once I have that in place I will be removing all pieces and that will be my last login to DeviantArt.

I want to say thanks to everybody here at DeviantArt for making my stay an excellent experience and I may make a return at some point in the future..........you just never know. (",)



During my time here I have met some of the most amazing people and gifted artists and consider myself lucky to have done so and there are some who have become very very good friends of mine, such as =RayFalling, *lizelei, =voodoq and ~sina7. They are all wonderful people and their art has both inspired and awed me. Thanks you lot for being good freinds.

Here is the list or Deviants that made DeviantArt the source of my inspiration:





On a much lighter note I have decided to do a major overhaul on my computer to give me that much more of an edge and hopefully a machine that won't keep crashing and buggering up on me. To this end I am investing €1500 to buy new parts and build myself a new system.....ands its going to be a beast heehee.

Basic outline:
Dual core 2Ghz AMD processor - Roughly 4Ghz processing speed before overclocking.
GeForce 6800 GT Graphics Card with 512Mb of onboard RAM
Antec P180 PC Case
2Ghz DDR Ram
Samsung 19" LCD Flat Panel Monitor with 8ms Response Time

So thats about it for now folks I wish you all the best in life and truly hope to hear from you, come on folks you know you want to keep in touch (",)

Toodles for Now,
David
