Sooo, I wasn't active for years really. I neglected Deviantart.

In the years I was inactive a lot happened. For one I started studying fine art. It was a goal of mine and I thought I'd knew what I wanted.
My professors didn't appreciate the way I drew. It's too illustrative. Too stylized. It belonged in a completely different category.
I tried to adjust by painting the way they expected me to do, but then I felt unhappy. I fell into depression, preventing me to do anything at all.

I'm much better now by doing what I like. By appreciating the work I did so far.

So, let's make up for lost time.

Thank you to all who kept supporting me! There will be big updates.

Keep safe!

Some Changes

2 min read

Dear Followers and Friends,


Soon, this profile will be inactive. It pretty much is now. 
I'd like to be on professional terms and submit original artwork. 
I removed all original artwork from this site and replaced it on my new profile.



This doesn't mean I won't draw fanarts. 

Fanarts were a great deal for self expression.
I remember, how it started with Kigo, then Azutara, then Tyzula, Glee, Frozen, Carmilla, I remember all of it.
I remember how my style improved thanks to fanarts. 
Surely, once or twice a year I will post a new picture, when the mood strikes me. On tumblr, that is.



But I think it is important for me to set a new focus in this.

I noticed that I can't combine original artwork and fanarts on one site.
Moreover it drew my attention, that, since I started drawing fanarts, my personal ideas were thin and completely taken in by fandoms. 
And I don't like that, it made me unhappy.


I am very sorry.
Although I believe, this would not make a great difference, because I've been very withdrawn this year and the year before. 
I am sorry for my “Liar” readers too. And for doozlelange, who kept up with my mess.


If you are interested in my original work, you can gladly visit me on my new profile.

I'd be happy to see old faces.



Or if you want to see my complete randomness, I am on tumblr too, and we can discuss this, if you want.

Please keep in mind, that I started thinking about this a long time ago.
It definitely isn't out of blue.

I thank you all for your support and your comments and your favorites. 
These last five years helped me personally very much.
Now it's time to start over.

 

Yours,
Anna

Hey guys, 
I am so sorry for my absence, I think this was the longest time I was absent, like ever. Ashamed 

Just a quick update to all of you: 
On Wednesday is my first final exam, philosophy, and then, in the upcoming weeks, I have to write English, arts, maths, and dramatology.  
So, besides of personal stress, I learned a lot (for school and besides of school) and I thought of my future.
I decided to go to art school, therefore you don't have to worry about me abandoning arts. 

The Liar is still ongoing, I promise! 
(sorry Doozle, for keeping you waiting) 
I'm also very excited to try some new techniques. 
You can expect new pages sometime in mid-May. 
I'll also try to upload regularly, then.  

I'm also working on my application portfolio.


So, after giving you my sign of life, 
I wish you a nice day, 
wish me luck, 

Anna Heart

United Kingdom Hey guys! United Kingdom 

Next week I will be on a class trip to the UK and therefore there would be no update of "the Liar", though I can assure you the lines for the next two pages are almost done! :) 
I would be also frustrated for not being able to read fanfiction updates for a whole week or something? 
Haha whatever, it's the UK. :D 

Have a nice day!

YO GUYS! 

I'm working on a new original comic and I'm looking out for somebody who speaks German and English. Somebody who would like to do something like beta reading. 

Names, links etc. would be on the cover page and description, of course! 
If you're interested, feel free to note me.

Have a nice weekend! 

Anna
