Dragging my heels, but I'm here. by Zhag

First journal entry, woo!

Hi.

So I'm here now on Weasyl, still trying to get my bearings, after so long on FA it feels like I've entered the twilight zone - since I grew up with deviantart, and FA used the very early Deviantart layout for sharing art and other creative things. I felt like I was sticking my toes in some cold water when first exploring this site, but now I think I'm getting used to it. I'm Canadian after all, sometimes we just have to dive right into ice cold glacial water right in the middle of summer, for fun.

Things seem sort of dead here compared to FA, part of the reason I regret leaving there is because of the broad base of fans I had built, and viewers, but I'm happy that people followed and watched me on here, so I hope to contribute to this growing community.

From hence forth, I will comment as I view for the most part, I think it's a good thing to do, it supports the artists, and builds relationships and community.

Dragging my heels, but I'm here.

    Weasyl has been very slow to gather a fanbase; which is a shame, since I like this site a lot.

    Just think of it as starting a new character on an RPG. Level 1. No skills, simple weapons, no followers... XD

    As more and more artists start becoming more active here, the fanbase will follow. It will only be a matter of time.

    I hope this place will replace FA at the end, yeah.

    Welcome! It takes a bit of getting used to, but the folders alone are worth it :p

    I'm sure this site will end up picking up speed eventually, it's just a matter of enough people making the move for it to gain the necessary "inertia", you could say.

    The thing that would probably help it a lot is an easy "bulk uploader" thing. Unless it already has one since i last uploaded something...

    I'm hoping to see your artwork here! I've been eager to see your stuff being done.
