Alrighty... First off, this isn't Nire; this is her hubby. Nire's had issues with DA related to criticism, and as much as I initially encouraged her, she can be hard-headed when it comes to changing her mind.

She stopped posting.

It's taken some bargaining on my part -- I made a deal with her that as long as she posted, I'd read the comments, delete the flames, and throw all the positive mojo that you wonderful people always sent in her direction (Basically, I'm the trash guy and happy-mood-messenger guy)

I may end up being your response-monkey. I may not end up responding at all, 'cause I'm not very good at updating, but I think I can get her to post some of her wonderful art again. (Quite obviously, I'm a big fan of hers as well )

There's a certain centaur piece that an old soul requested at one point that I've been encouraging her to make (for one thing). She's been posting hospital comics at our local clinic recently, much to the nurses' entertainment, I may begin throwing some of those up, if everyone seems to like the idea -- but I need to see some yays or nays on that... Keep in mind, though: She's got a lot of work on which she's focusing. She's had many requests and she's trying to fill all of them.

I promise I didn't steal her away from everyone here. I've been encouraging her to update and post as much as you all did (being her loyal and dedicated fan/hubby), she's just had a lot on her plate.

More often than not she would reminisce about the wonderful people that had often lifted her spirits here. I can't think of anything else to say, but I wanted to update everyone
