So..
The results were announced yesterday and it turns out that:
I didn't pass.
To make things clear, no, I'm not shocked or anything considering the fact that I have been practicing for only 6 months and to enter in Fine Arts usually requires at least 2 years! Also my grade was 4 while the base is 5, which is a suprise for a beginner like me. This means I have a higher chance to pass with the second!
So Hiatus will last longer for now, but I'll try to active whenever I have time.

As I mentioned in my previous journal, I have made major changes to all my accounts and to my rules for art trades.
Starting with my accounts:
Devianart will be used for finished & high quality artworks only, meaning that any sketches or doodles won't be posted here.
Since this account is my main, I want to make it as my 'portfolio'.
On Twitter I'll be posting both finished art and random doodles. There may be a few non-art related post and speak my thoughts, but I'll try to keep it art related.
On Tumblr it's the same with Twitter. Additionaly, I made a
side blog where I'll be posting and reblog miscellaneous things, so I won't spam my accounts with non-art stuff
But keep in mind it's still work in progress at the moment.
---------------------------------------------
After a lot of thought on this topic, I've came with this conclusion:
From now on, I'll be accepting art trades from people with the same art level with me only (with only exception my friends)
I'll explain why:
It has been stressing me and sometimes reduce my motivation, but the main reason is because I wouldn't have any costumers for commissions because "Why pay them when I can just get free art by drawing their character?". I feel like that letting anyone to get art from me through art trades may decrease the value of my art and attract unwanted audience.
This change may upset some people, but if I want to take my career seriously, there must be changes.

These are all I wanted to say.
