You may, or may not have noticed. My Premium/Core membership has dropped out.
I've been a Premium member for around 3 or 4 years. Whilst I don't like the new Core name and theme, I was quite happy to pay for it at the old price.
Didn't happen.
For the first time in 3 years, my payment was declined. No explanation why.
I contacted the help desk...
Still no explanation why the payment was declined. Nor any offer to put a new membership through at the old price
Their answer, in full, pretty much boiled down to
Oops. Sorry about that. Please re-enroll at your convenience (and at the new price which is 165% of the old price)
Needless to say, I didn't take them up on their kind offer.
Nor will I for the many years I intend to remain with DA.
Well done DA. Your thirst for extra funds has just cost you my membership fee forever.
And wonderful customer service.
Not a Happy Camper!

MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU
May the 4th is officially recognised as STAR WARS DAY. So I thought I'd post a compilation of all my Star Wars themed pieces here to celebrate.
Including a brand new E-Squad Story.
Who are E-Squad, you ask?
E-Squad are a unit of Stormtroopers who are in service around the time of 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi'. They certainly aren't an elite unit... in fact they're kind of the opposite of an elite unit. They are the dregs of the Empire. E-Squad belong to Raqonteur (https://www.deviantart.com/raqonteur)

STORIES IN PROGRESS II
Many aeons ago (in 2016 to be exact) I published a journal with a list of uncompleted stories. The aim was two-fold; to encourage interest in these upcoming stories; and mostly, to encourage me to finish at least some of them.
In that regard I was fairly successful, finishing the majority of them. Stories In Progress (Updated May 2016)
With an ever-growing list of partially completed stories sitting here on my laptop I think it may well be time to try that again. So here we go for version 2.0...
Let me know in the comments which story or stories you'd like to see finished first... or at all :P and I'll see what I can do.

Guide Page
I've changed the layout of my page... again. One of these days I'll settle on something that works :P
But here's a quick, visible guide to my new layout.
You'll see the newest drawings and writings displayed opposite.
If you want to look at my showcase folder; a mixture of what I feel are my best works, go to Gallery; Featured.
Previous Commissions and Art Trades are displayed in the top folder of the sidebar.
The rest of my drawings are in folders and occasionally sub-folders down that side bar. You'll find Original Art, Fan Art, Original Stories, Fan Fictions, Poetry even some photography.
Next comes the Original Characters Folder wher

That's outrageous!
I never intended to get premium membership, well not when I have to pay for it that is. And now with the CORE thing, I was less interested in it because of the theme and well I just like the sound of "premium membership" more than hiding it with "CORE" (at first I thought it was something else special)
Welp, it's not bad to be a non-premium actually. I don't find it much different
