Hello guys,
(list with my links down below)

it's been ages.... I haven't logged into dA for months, oops. I came back today to succumb to some nostalgia and then I read that Eclipse will take over soon?? HELL NO. I hate this thing WHO ALLOWED IT. It's awful. I'm not very active here anyway but oof, I'm gonna miss this ugly green and actually being able to properly sort through galleries and profiles. I understand many people worked long and hard on Eclipse but it's not user friendly, counter productive and will be the last nail in dA's coffin. I only saw negative feedback about it, I don't understand why dA doesn't take this to heart? They've had so much time.

ANYWAY, I spend most of my time on Instagram nowadays, tumblr frequently and twitter... I have it but I could be more active lol. I won't delete my dA acc and I will occasiaonally drop by and maybe even post some stuff again. I don't think there's anyone left here following me since I stopped drawing Spyro or dragons in general but ey, gotta keep that portfolio running.

ANYWAY² here's where you can find me:

wow this is my first time logging into dA since.... September. I'm kind of surprised dA is still alive. Anyway, yeah, I still make art but I've moved to Instagram and a little bit to tumblr. Twitter, rarely, but I use it for stalking lol (all @servantserah). I will occasionally post some art here but don't expect me to be active much.

I can't say there's much to tell about what happened/what I did these past months. There's been a LOT of stress with family members being at the hopsital etc and now I'm the one struggling with physical and mental conditions lol. I'm having a small surgery on Friday, hopefully things will get better after that.

I'll post a few pieces I did recently and maybe a little dump later. 

How are y'all, is there even anyone left here?

Sudden-Paws tagged me with Serah, so why not.
I actually already did this with her 8 OC facts tagGot tagged by Sudden-Paws a while ago... :iconjimgagaplz:
RULES:
1. Post 8 facts about your character.
2. Tag 8 other Characters.
3. Post their names along with their creator's avatars
Serah

Her full name is Serafinah but she dislikes it and insists that everyone calls her Serah. ''Serafinah'' originates from ''seraphim'', which is Hebrew and means ''the fiery one''. Which fits, since she's a fire dragon and hence has a fiery personality.
She is sassy and uses a lot of sarcasm, yet she has a genuine character and likes to be silly.
She was one of the very first characters I've ever created. I made her in February 2009 and her design hasn't changed too much since then. 
Even though she shares many of my personality traits, as well as many people associating her with me, she is not my dragonsona. What would you call this? Simply a main character? I honestly don't know. 
The fluff onto
, but I'm sure I can squeeze out more facts haha. These are actually more going to focus on the process of making an drawing her, rather than her personality.

RULES:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post 8 facts about your character(s).
3. Tag 8 other characters.
4. post there name's along with there creators avatars

Facts:
1. I remember making her back in February 2009; I was sick and decided I wanted a proper dragon OC ( i had one when i was a kid but she was weird), so I gave her fucking hair because that's what 13-year-olds do. I used a red pencil for her skin but since it was cheap and my scanner was bad, resulting inthe color looking like pink in the scan. When picking her color later on in GIMP with the color picking tool, I ended up getting this ridiculous shade of pink, so this is why she was pink a few years ago haha. Here is said picture:  Neue Leinwand by Serah-Laboratories
2. I used to draw Serah SO. MUCH. back in 2009. But ALWAYS in the same fucking pose:  Serih by Serah-Laboratories
3. I used to nickname her Serih for no logical reason and I don't want to think about it anymore
4. I named my dA account after her and I was SO confused when people started calling me Serah or Serafinah because I didn't understand the concept of the internet back then haha
5. Serah is NOT my sona but I adapted her name anyway for pretty much all my usernames and my gamertag. I guess you could say she's my main oc, thoguh? (If that's a thing haha)
6. Back in 2009 and 2010 numerous people asked me if TLOS Spyro was her das because apparently their horns looked similar.
7. She has these blue marking underneath her eyes and they were never a problem but since my style keeps changing and I tend to draw smiles bigger until the literally reach the eyes I'm having trouble making them visible?? Sometimes there just isn't enough space for them but I don't want to get rid of them hahah
8. This is my fave pic I ever drew of her and I don't even know why haha:  Twitch On by Serah-Laboratories I just love this cute snout aah



I tag Elon Musk with his Sonic sona

Hello fellow people of this strange place. It's been quite a while since I talked to you and I feel bad that basically every journal I write is me apologizing for my inactivity. I know I don't have to but I feel obligated to at least let people know I am alright and I didn't forget them. I have met some wonderful people here on deviantART over the past 9 years and regret not being able to talk to everyone as much as I used to. But hey, we've all grown a lot in the past nine years and things change. 

Overall I am doing okay; sure there are always a few problems and annoying situations here and there but it's part of life, right? And life is crazy, I miss the old days where the only stress and problems resonated from school and doing your homework. 

Usually I would tell you to fowllow my Instagram since I am way more active there but even that's not the case anymore right now. Drawing? What's that? So much has been going on in the past months, listing everything would take forever and I don't want to bore you guys even more than I already am. I am basically constantly stressed and even though I don't have to do any physical work, I am physically and mentally exhausted. Hopefully things are going to take a different turn soon, otherwise I wouldn't know how much longer I can keep up with this. I know that I myself cause much of my own stress but sadly some people close to me do as well, even if it's unintentionally.

As for art, I can't say I've been drawing much lately. I wanted to work hard and improve so badly but in the end I don't think I've managed to do any of that. I really want to get back into art the way I did so many years ago... Drawing on a daily basis, having fun and working on big projects. Nowadays I'm happy if I manage to finish a sketch. The heat wave we are currently facing is not helping either. It's been hot NON STOP since about 2 months now and everyone including me has reached bottom. Any form of energy that has been left vanished weeks ago... Waking up is pain, the slightest movement is pain. Imagine getting any kind of work done like this. I have never in my life seen such a harsh summer and I hope to never see one like this again.

But I'm rambling. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm whining, which I probably am. But many good things happened, too and I try to grab onto them. And I believe that things will be better soon. I have to. 

Please forgive me if I don't give you guys the attention you deserve. I want to change things but I keep saying that and nothing ever happens.

One of my leopard geckos (Loki) has been very sick for a couple months and she passed away two weeks ago. Her death hit me really hard and I've been away visiting my family after that. They helped me get through this and I can't thank them and my friends enough.

I am doing much better now and I plan to be back on track. I will finish the last few days of Inktober; I'll put all drawings into one big file and submit it here in the near future. I plan to be more active art wise generally cause I have some goals, so yeah. I hope to be able to show you more soon.

In any case I usually upload everything I draw/doodle on my Instagram, so I'm much more active there. (since I only upload somewhat finished pictures on here??) www.instagram.com/servant_sera…

Anyway, just a quick summary of my past few weeks. Sorry again for the inactivity and for leaving without saying anything here.
Btw, my other gecko, Toby, is doing just fine. I'm really glad he's okay at least.

I miss Loki so much but I know she's not suffering anymore. I try to find peace in that.
