I know it is the DA tradition to thank someone when they add your artwork or favorite you but I really don't mind if you opt not to. I'd much rather enjoy it if you said hello and started a conversation or browsed my artwork and let me know what you think. So while I appreciate the thank you, it seems a bit automated, and don't feel obligated unless you really want to.
I have decided to restart my account under a new name. I had built up a history of comments and journal entries that I wasn't necessarily proud of and I no longer refer to myself as 'kev-nuu', so it was a good time to transition. Now I can get back to drawing without feeling guilty.
