I sincerely apologize for the lack of activity as of late yet again. I'm just going to discuss updates.
First off, I'm a bit confused at the sudden influx of views I got around Easter/April 1st to April 2nd. It was about 50 pageviews or so when normally I've been getting about 10-20 thanks to my inactivity. Did people think I was gonna draw a bunny picture or something for Easter showcasing my guys? That's cute but not at the moment. I've been busy (and I've been inexplicably sick but it's probably worsening anxiety).
Oh yeah, and other than that, I've been further developing my characters and I've done over 10,000 of those little gesture drawings.
Well you see, a lot happened in March. I dropped my phone and it got ruined so I had to get another in the mail which set me back a few. I've also been trying to find a real job (consistent) so I had to update all of my IDs and info, etc. so I could actually stand a chance to get hired somewhere other than the occasional ushering gig I had since 2016. Later on in the month, I actually got a call back from a local movie theater to work there during the Film Festival so I had to prepare for the interview and eventually I got the job to work in April. However, I'm not 100% hired yet as it's a temp position (more than what I had in my life) as an usher (actually more janitorial) and if I do get this job, which I'll know in about a week after my long working weekend (many hours), it will not be as hectic as dealing with thousands of people each day. It will put me on the path to earning more money to pay off any owed debts and so I can afford better art supplies and technology, and to fund my video game and figure hobbies. I need another computer, eventually another phone, and I'd like an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for artwork this time. (I'd also like to try for medical school but even that takes money to get into a good program to cover prerequisites.)
So yeah, no time or motivation for artwork because of this and I'm still not ready to be as active as I was when I was a college kid. It's just too much competition for something people are supposed to simply enjoy. This even caused an artist I've admired to eventually quit. I am in a bad situation right now and it doesn't help matters when family thinks I'm joking when I say that I need money and a job. I don't even have a proper workspace for my artwork yet and by that I mean a nice clean room with a desk and whatever else. I'd do commissions if I felt confident enough in my environment. >_<
Sorry guys. Thanks for your patience.

9th dA Anniversary (for this account)
I've held this account ~Dark-SpectrumDS (https://www.deviantart.com/dark-spectrumds) for almost exactly nine years today. I've technically been on deviantART for about 11 years with my first account being this old thing: :iconDark-Spectrum:.
I don't feel too different though. I actually miss the days back in 2011-2013 when it was more lively (and I felt that I meant something to the community). Nowadays, it's way different especially with inactive accounts and people moving away as a whole (at least people I know).
I wasn't going to have any time to draw anything commemorating this (not like it's necessary) because I have to work the rest of the day away (not art-related). But I
Thanks for b-day wishes + Updates
Hello, I apologize for the long absence. I still won't consider myself to be "back" if you will. However, thank you for the birthday wishes! I didn't really expect any after my inactivity and that's okay. If you didn't know, I just had a birthday December 7th (I also like to refer to it as Pearl Harbor Day).
I probably won't fully be back until I can create something I'd not be embarrassed to upload. I've taken a break from social media communication cold-turkey because I desperately needed one and it allowed me to think about what's more important. I've still been deciding on how I'd like to organize my accounts better either for artwork, p
DeviantART 8th Anniversary + Updates
Hello everyone old and new! I SINCERELY apologize for the absence/limited activity. (Would've been back earlier if dA hadn't any issues with my 3-month membership rebilling so I apologize for having nothing fancy...ever.) I do, however, have to mention that today marks the 8th anniversary of this account's creation. Oh, and please don't misunderstand. I've actually been on deviantART since 2007 so this year also marks my 10th anniversary here altogether.
My original account: ~Dark-Spectrum (https://www.deviantart.com/dark-spectrum) (Please excuse the old art styles. I was 14-15 back then.)
I'm not sure if I will ever get around to making any commemorative works. I can't make an
I bought a commission!
I'm glad to say that I have finally purchased my first PayPal commission and it's from ~ElectriChimaera (https://www.deviantart.com/electrichimaera)
and of my OC Luna Moth (still no name!):
I think they've done a wonderful job portraying this character even though I couldn't really provide many details as to his personality or his design.;u;
Go and check out their commissions and don't forget to ask in a note/DM! They're still open! :D
Thanks for your time!:thanks:

I hope everything will work out for you, my dear friend.
Please take your time and only draw, when you feel like it. You are doing so great! Please don't forget that!
A lot has changed here, as well and I am starting to get active as an artist again. I'm making good progress and I have a completely new view on everything, maybe because I feel a lot better than when we first met.
I'm looking forward for you to return :3
Take care!
