Quick update~

Hey, so it's been a while since I posted a journal update, and a while since I updated my DA much! To be honest I've been busy with a lot of personal crap and Uni stuff ^^; but things have calmed down a bit now, I'm just getting over a massive cold -___-

OH and I got a new cat! HE SO CUTE. His name is Django :meow: We rescued him when he was taken in by a local vet after being found in someone's garden with a badly infected tail and a broken hip. Unfortunately the tail had to be amputated, but it doesn't seem to bother him much :) 

(His full name is Django Untailed XD)

On the art front, I finally re-did the toning on the last few pages of Chapter One of 'Sacred?' (it was so rushed and bad ughhhh). The print version is coming along nicely now; due to the aforementioned reasons it's taken a lot longer than I thought it would (I was originally planning to get it printed for SunnyCon in June lmao). It also just took a while to prep everything for printing generally- drawing the covers, doing all the extra interior pages like contents, acknowledgements, etc. But I learned a lot and it's SO close to completion! I'll let you guys know when it's finally ready.

And work on Chapter Two has finally started 8D 

I also found some things from a while ago that I forgot to submit here, and I have my Inktober things to eventually upload too, and two commissions underway ^^ so although I haven't been finishing as much art as usual, I have been tinkering away when I can :)

I'm going to be at Anime Attacks in Gateshead next Saturday, and then Doki Doki in Manchester on the 7th November. Then I get a break from conventions until next year XD

Anyway, I think that's about it for now. I hope you're all keeping well!

Kage x

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY~

Got a reply from support and they changed my username back, but they did say that they might not be able to restore the deleted stuff. BUT THEN I refreshed the page and my featured deviations were back in their modules, and upon checking my gallery everything has returned, with all the favs and comments intact to boot! I just had to re-add them to my 'Featured' folder. 

Realitysquared is a god amongst mods, I'm so grateful for his help :heart:

I got an e-mail today from DA, addressed to the wrong username, saying that I had requested for my account to be deactivated. I actually thought it could be a scam because the username was 'Kagbukifur', so I logged onto DA separately. 

Well, as you can see, my username is now indeed Kagbukifur instead of Kagekabuki, and all of my deviations since February have been deleted (possibly after the failed deactivation attempt). Thankfully I could still use my old username to log in and my password hadn't been changed. 

That's what's odd to me. My password wasn't changed, they just straight-up tried to delete my account. I do have some ideas on what happened and who's responsible but as I don't know for sure, I won't say who.

I just hope that I can get my username back, and hopefully my deviations too- it's gonna be a real pain re-uploading them and I lost allll those favs/comments :( 

Kage xx

***But my usual custom store is still open! Link above***

As I DO NOT WANT to use Stripe, I have had to close my Storenvy Marketplace store. I received an e-mail the other day from Storenvy - ‘You’re Store Is Setup For Stripe Payments!’ (yes, ‘You’re’), which stated that they had ‘created a placeholder Stripe account’ for me, which I did NOT ask for or expect, and so my only option not to use this stupid Stripe thing is to manually close my Marketplace shop, thus massively limiting my exposure. 

Why don’t I want to use Stripe, you ask? Because I don’t want to input my card details into an app I’ve never even heard of (which is the exact reason why I use Paypal), and payments to the UK (where I’m based) take ages to clear. Oh, and the fees, fuck that noise.

I am honestly appalled at Storenvy’s tactic of forcing people into using Stripe if they want to remain on the Marketplace. Their opt-out-of-Stripe page even snarkily points out that ‘We gave those stores the option of opting out , and though we emailed about this, and made the announcement weeks prior in your admin panels, certainly many were still not aware.’ Well I certainly wasn’t aware that you were just going to make a damn account for me that I didn’t want! What if I’d received a Stripe sale in the time it took me to respond to the e-mail?? 

The best thing? After I closed the Marketplace shop, Storenvy sent me another e-mail saying ‘As an independent brand or small business it’s all about exposure, and the Storenvymarketplace is an effective way to get your business in front of millions customers.’ JUST TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY. 

(I’m sorry if this doesn’t make much sense, I’m really ill atm. And srsly pissed)
