*UPDATE* 7/28: Deleted ~300 deviations (one...by...one; DA doesn't make it easy). Of the 457 I have left, ~365 are the Cally Dailies from 2011. That was a big 2011 resolution and achievement for me, couldn't get rid of those.
------EDITED to make PAST TENSE-----
I'm just not feeling the urge to get back to the drawing board till I can get back my passion...story telling, especially sequential work. My own stuff. So I purged my Gallery. I saved some old/new that tickle me...pencil versions, published inks, design stuff, Cally dailies, etc. But MANY of the sketch cards went bye-bye.
Since part of my motivation is sharing the creative process (streaming-which I can't do until I get a new PC) and sharing online, this is where I'm mentally hung up on. Too much stuff here. I let the sketch card years derail me and I limited myself and growth. "It's good enough", I'd tell myself, but I know it's not as good as I can do overall...just what I wanted to limit to that particular media/mediums. My best stuff is from my school days, maybe not in penmanship or structural in general, but in passion and creativity. Just look further back into my gallery before the dailies (when set to Browse; not Featured]...you may or may not agree, but there's definitely variety (albeit it due to multiple class assignments).
So I need to clear the pallet for new colors so to speak, but keep the ones I feel inspire me to get back in the game. Of course, I can't say when that will be...could be as late as next year (getting back to the drawing board, that is). But I need to start somewhere...
I'll understand if you choose to unwatch. But I wanted to give you a heads up in case you wanted to 'swipe' any of your faves to have on your hardrive or whatever [too late, sorry]. The purge extended to my BM account. My Youtube most likely won't be updating (can't record anymore), but will mostly remain. Twitter stayed (but cleaned out old tweets). Tumbler went. Needed to consolidate.
"I should just stop with the art." That has crossed my mind many times, but I'm still hanging onto finding a solution. I can't get it on the home-front (no creative support or studio type environments), so I'm trying the virtual one (which has been the one thing keeping me hanging on).
Sorry and thank you for all your support over these many years. Hopefully I come back stronger.

Not Dead Yet...
Just saying hi. Still not drawing... That 'thing' I was working on a bit ago fell through (was to be for a game, but the company stopped the project). But I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive and kickin' and pass through here every so often to see what fellow artists have been whipping up. When I DO get back to the drawing board, I'll continue to post here.
Thanks you all for your support in whatever form it has shown!! :D You kept me strong when I was active and still strong now as I have plenty of artists, art, comments and feedback still here to reminisce through and to boast my resolve.
Best,
-Nicole :)
I'm still here...
Sorry....since my job change a few years ago, less drawing and DA check in. This pop-in is the first in so many months, I don't remember how long since I've logged in. :(
I'm about to get back to the drawing board again, but unfortunately (for my fellow viewers), I can't share any of the work or any details on the project until release/permission--(hint: game character design).
So I'll still be a stranger around these parts, sorry - but I'm not giving up on my artwork and exposure here. I'll post if I fit in some time to personal art and/or when I allowed to share. ;)

FINISHED THE INKS (Wednesday evening (EST), November 12th 2014).
=============
You get to see me drawing in one camera and my face in another. Chatroom will be available (you don't need to sign up to join the chat). I'll have audio on to chat live and answer any questions and such.
Consider it mature viewing as even though the art may vary, the discussions can be mature in language and subject...SERIOUSLY mature...and weird...and stuff. ilish (https://www.deviantart.com/ilish)
The new livestream doesn't give me all the same options and doesn't work as well for m
