yeah deviantART can seem a little daunting because of it's sheer size, but there are all levels of art there, of course with a larger community there will therefore be more jerks around but not all of them are like that.
And of course you don't need to post art there if you don't want to, there's a ton of users who join deviantart just to enjoy the art of other people. :)
Aww, I would definitely miss seeing your art here. However, I can understand your reasons. This definitely is a fan site, hence the name, and if you're not into making fan stuff your work probably isn't going to be noticed like you would want it to be.
On the other hand, that's exactly why I've never really done anything with deviantart. It definitely has a more professional feel and atmosphere, not quite as relaxed as theO is. As a non-professional artist who understands all too well the lack of quality in the work I produce, I would feel uncomfortable posting my art there. You, however, seem to feel quite at home there and your work is capable of being much more highly appreciated in that setting
Either way I'll keep following your work. Oops! Don't mean to sound like a stalker ^^' This would probably even be good for me because I'd finally have a reason to sit down and figure out how everything works on deviantart. Anyway, best wishes in whatever you decided to do. ^^

I would miss your art, but I can just watch your DA account, so I suppose it doesn't make much difference for me in the end ^^ I can certainly understand your reasons.
