No, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. I am just busy, I went on a trip to Egypt, internet broke down a few times, and lately I'm strangely lacking interest for anything dA - related. I haven't talked to most of my dA friends lately and I haven't received journals or deviations from them either, so it seems like I'm not the only one who is taking some dA-time off. Moreover, exams are coming up, I discovered the joy of writing again, I have a vacation job and life is finally catching up with me (I am actually becoming quite social), so I don't think I'll be that much on dA either. I do check my messages often, though, don't worry.
I can be found on Tegaki E. too, where I'm trying to improve my oekaki skills, with very little progress thus far (see previous journal for the link).

There's something I want to show you. Go here: [link] and see, the first game concept I ever thought out, with the excellent help of ~PsyPing (go to his page now!)
If anyone should be interested to help developing it, feel free to drop me or ~PsyPing a note.
And that will be it for now.
Cheers!
