Hello there, everyone.  If the reset avatar and such didn't already tip you off...

I've reached the end with arcane-phoenix.  I made this account back in 2004, when I was only fourteen years old.  I'm now twenty-one, soon to be twenty-two.  I look back on this account's past and cringe from all of the horrible things I've done with it.  Petty arguments, drama, complaining over feedback, everything.  It's embarrassing and I'm ready to start over.

I still have a lot to be thankful for with this account, though.  I met some of the best people in my life through deviantART and I can safely say that if it weren't for a select few people I would have left the site for good years ago.  I especially have you to thank, Kali.  I never would have guessed at the time that we'd eventually grow to be so close.  You've been a significant part of my life since 2004, but you know that already.

The rest of you, too.  Jay, Eddy, Dani, Neo, Raile, Galena, Kelly, Shadow, Laura... I can't name every single person because there are so many of you.  Even if I didn't list your name please know that all of you - my watchers and every person who left a comment or favorited a piece of mine - have my thanks.

My new gallery can be found over at ~TheLaarc, as some of you have noticed already.  This gallery will remain up for now, but I'll eventually be either deleting or storing the artwork as it's reposted to my new account.

Seven years, almost eight.  It's been fun.
