To all you awesome people who've done fanart for me over the years...
You guys are amazing, and I’m grateful for every single fan piece that’s been done for me, no matter how rough or rudimentary it is.
Now, that being said, I want to share a little bit of truth with everyone. No matter how many fans draw my characters out of admiration for them or for my work, I do not see this as determining my level of success or popularity. Fanart does not define me as an artist or who I am as a person. It is what I do and how I behave with everyone that defines me as a person. I share this with you guys because I have recently seen a few cases where good artists I know have deemed themselves unwanted or unloved from lack of fanart of their works. Of course, feeling down due to lack of feedback on your work is a natural feeling for an artist to have, and little to no demonstrations of interest in your art can be heartbreaking. But I want to take this time to let those artists who feel this way (as I know some of you follow me and will see this) that even if it’s not apparent at first sight, there are in fact people who care about you and who love and respect you. With every single note, favorite, or ask you receive, you are being recognized for your work and you are being NOTICED.
You are loved even if there is only one person who takes interest in your art.
You are respected whenever a problem arises and you push through it.
You are cheered on whenever you go through a state of mental anguish and learn to cope with it.
But, how can you know that someone actually cares about you?
Because I do. I may not be able to message you every day and keep you company, or draw you gift art every so often to show how much I love your characters, but I do indeed notice you every day, and I feel a deep pain whenever you feel insignificant, or when you’re struggling with whatever life throws at you. I can support you whenever the need arises; a motivational ask, a venting session over skype, even something as time-consuming as raising money to help you financially.
I deeply care about everyone I follow, and I want you guys to know that. I am willing to do anything for those I care about. You are all amazing people and it’s an honor to be noticed and loved in return by a lot of you guys.
Welp, that’s all. Sorry for being so sappy guys.
Have a good rest of the day!

Hi new watchers! This account is dead!
Hey doods, just a reminder that my new hangout is ~DavidBaronArt (https://www.deviantart.com/davidbaronart). If you wanna keep track of my newer pieces just head on over there!
(I'm going to keep spamming this journal until I stop getting new watchers here, so just a heads up)
Friendly reminder, I moved!!! Last reminder!!!
Just a reminder that my new hangout is ~DavidBaronArt (https://www.deviantart.com/davidbaronart). For those of you who recently followed me, go watch my new account instead! I've got new works posted already, as well as plenty of scraps and more to come!

Hi everyone! I've been meaning to do this for some time now, but I plan on having a fresh start on dA and switching to a new account. I have a few pieces already posted; my goal is to update my gallery at least once a week! Hopefully I can achieve that!
:icondavidbaronart:
I'll be checking on this old account a few more times during the next few weeks, but soon afterwards it'll be completely abandoned. If you want to
Commissions (CLOSED!)
Slots are closed for now! I'll see if I can open up again once I finish these up. Thank you, guys! <3
------
Due to popular demand (and a tricky financial situation), I’ve decided to open up commissions once again! Only 10 slots are open this time though, so first come, first served!
I’m willing to draw practically anything (including trademark characters, OCs, anthro, mecha/robots, and even smut/nsfw) except for what’s stated in the “More Info” box. Email me at davidzth13@gmail.com or send me a note or ask if you have any questions! I’m quite flexible with what I’m willing to draw, so don’
Going on hiatus again~
Sorry to say this guys, but I'll be going into hiatus for a while. I have A LOT on my plate right now, including a whole lotta paid work to finish as well as a few secret things I'm working on. I want to lighten up my workload a bit and get everything I need to do done as soon as possible, so I think a break from tumblr and dA (and the looming anxiety to regularly post stuff) is for the best.
So yeah, no new posts from me for a while! I apologize again, but yeah I kinda need this at the moment. Thank you for understanding!
Ta-ta!

Thanks man I really needed this. I foolishly got a $50,000 associates degree where I could have got it at 1/5 the price else where, my car broke down which I still have to pay for and if it wasn't for my family I would be homeless. The lack of attention my art brings does bring me down sometimes especially since i'm trying to do this as a living so kind words like this helps me from going back to the old self i've left years ago!
