I've been lurking for a bit and figure I give this site a try (Though I've registered months ago). Not sure if I'd consider myself a dA refugee since my use of it wained about five years ago. Poked around a bit and did not liked the revamps that it had and missed the olden pre-Eclipse dA.
I used to make digital comics on Garry's Mod and eventually to Source Filmmaker, though I never found any motivation to get back onto the horse. Lately I've been getting into, what the people over on Nexus calls, screen archery. Bascially using Bethesda's games (and Cyberpunk 2077) to pose your character and take screenshots trough the use of mods and ENB injections (esentially SFM & Garry's Mod with extra steps). I've been largely active in the screen archery communiy on Discord. The character in my pfp is an example of what I can do in Fallout 4 with a few mods, screen archery (I love this mod as it enables me to spawn in lamps and set up lighting) and camera mod, and an ENB.
I'm big into the Fallout franchise, World of Warcraft (I'm faction agnostic and only do PvE and rarely PvP, though I favor playing elves and draenei), Overwatch, and slowly getting back into Star Wars. I do fire up Cities Skylines, Factorio, Satisfactory, and Minecraft for a change of pace.
I'm a machinist by trade and so happy that I was given the opportunity to learn a trade after years of underemployment.
PS: "Bal'a dash malanore" in Thalassian (The language of the high/blood/void elves in WoW) tranlates to "Greetings, Traveler!".
I don't think I ever asked you why you almost completely dropped off dA, but Eclipse has definitely been the tipping point for a lot of people, declared or otherwise. So far I'm the only person here who's done machinomics, so the niche is open for the taking.
