Hey my awesome watchers and friends! :hug:

Well, yes, like the title says, I will be leaving dA for two years as of the 18th of April, so in about a week. This is a tough decision, as dA has become an important part of my life, because I am actually trying to build up a living with my art. But you should know, that I am a Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.. :D) and I am 18, close to 19, so I am going on a mission. That means I will be going to the Alpine region (Switzerland, Austria, South-Germany) and talk to the people about what I believe in. You have to know, that this is something I carefully considered and I have a strong belief in God and so I want to share the joy my religion has brought me. The mission will be for two years and I wont have the time to upload any art to dA. My sister PixieCold will keep you up to date through journals on my page here, so you know what I am doing and how my life is going! :D

Please, if you disagree with anything my religion is teaching or if you are against religion/God in general, that is ok and it is your own opinion! I accept every single opinion or attitude, so please also respect my decision and don't stir up hatred against Mormons or God or anything in the comment section. Comments are appreciated and you can state your opinion, but hateful or troll-comments will be removed. Thank you for understanding! :heart:

Please don't think I will stop doing art. I already bought a sketch book, so when I have some spare time in these two years, I will sketch and collect ideas for the time after the mission. :D And I promise you: When I return I will upload a lot lot lot of art and I will never ever stop again! Please don't rewatch me or something, because after the two years I will return and rock deviantart!! :D I promise you! Art is my life and passion and it is my biggest dream to make a living with my art and maybe some day be able to work as a concept artist for Hollywood movies! :la: 

I seriously love everyone of you, because you showed me, what I am able to achieve with my art! You kept me creating and living my passion and you made me improve a lot! I owe so much to you! When I will return after the two years, there will be a lot to come! Until then, farewell my friends! :heart:

You may have problems with "Da Man" and with your faith. I am glad I am NOT a Mormon, having come to disagree with its teachings , both Christian and Joseph Smith's.


It was NOT a major factor, tho, in my becoming atheist (I do believe in an afterlife,tho.),
