I think I'm going to make myself a tumblr pretty soon. What's yours? I've definitely found that a lot the business side of DA has left a bad taste in my mouth too - the gender related thing being one such thing, though I was mostly gone from DA when that happened anyway. I find myself missing the art-related friendships I formed there, though - and most other art communities that I've come across are too specialized, too impersonal or just too quick to die off. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
(Yes, I know. I'm glad you hear from again, though. You've been quiet for a while. Especially glad to hear that you're seeming less stressed; I hope the arting goes well!)
