look, Mel's reason for leaving is the same as mine. I want to do stuff other than wasting my time on a comp spending hours on art that no one will ever really appreciate. I want to spend more time with my family and friends and pets.

I'm not leaving because "my art sucks" or whatever, but this whole thing is taking my life and childhood away. I might still do things for school prodjects or for friends or whatever, and i might join back in a long time when i feel more proffessional about art, but for now, i'm gunna go have a life! and that makes me happy so, i'll miss ya, but... goodbye! -wave-
