 This is a plea for my friend and a fellow DeviantArtist who is battling Stage 4 Cancer and needs your help. Please read. :heart:

 Some of you may know Amanda from her modeling work as 'Bad Charlotte' or here on DeviantArt as vampireleniore :iconvampireleniore:. She and I have worked together on photo shoots many times over the years. Some of you may or may not know that Amanda has been battling Breast Cancer and it recently progressed to Stage 4Doctors found it had spread to her spine after she suddenly lost the ability to walk. She is now Paraplegic and the Cancer has spread very rapidly throughout multiple areas of her body. She is doing everything she can to keep fighting. But her doctor has given her a prognosis of 6 months to live. Upon finding out this shocking and heartbreaking news, her boyfriend proposed to her and they are trying to plan her a dream wedding. But she and her family are facing thousands of dollars in medical debt after a double mastectomy, two courses of chemo, radiation, multiple surgeries, medications, emergency services and treatments. 

Battle by PorcelainPoet 
This was photographed by me in her home, after her initial Breast Cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy before she began her first round of Chemo.

 With her permission, I am reaching out to you, the artists and supporters of the photography, modeling and fashion community for your help. Please follow the link to her GoFundMe page where you can read all of her updates regarding her Cancer. 

This is her personal GoFundMe page and all donations go directly to her:

 If you are unable to donate but you'd still like to help, I know she would very much appreciate it if you could get the word out by sharing her GoFundMe link. All donations and shares are very much appreciated. As well as words of love and support for her during this difficult time. She has been through hell and could use some kindness right now. Her Instagram is vampireleniore if you want to drop her some love. 
Thank you so much!! :heart:

Here's what's going on for me as of late:

September 2nd - Wedding shoot
September 13th - The Break Up band shoot - Promotional material for touring
September (date unknown) - Art Show at Seattle's goth/industrial club Mercury
September or October (date unknown) - Large Group shoot at secret Infirmary location
October 29th - Art Show at Seattle Erotic Art Festival's "Seduction" Art Party - my work will be used to advertise the event
October (date unknown) - Costume Event Photographer - "Otherworlds" Steampunk company

I've just been published in a magazine in China - they did an interview with me on androgyny. There is a Fashion/Art Book coming out in Europe, with mass distribution - featuring my work.
I have edits from a 200 photo project in the works. Most of which will not be shared with the public until we find out if Dark Beauty Magazine or Gothic Beauty Magazine will be accepting submissions from it.
I'm waiting for news on the release of another Dark Art Book that will be showcasing some of my work. And I have a handful of other hired projects for which dates are yet to be confirmed.

So, all that being said.. I don't have a lot of time for certain websites anymore. Deviantart being one of them.
There are a handful of people here whom I always appreciate feedback from. However, lately I have had some particularly time wasting feedback.
I know a lot of people have left this site and I don't blame them for that. But if I am going to continue sharing my work here from time to time..
I'm contemplating if I will be better off just disabling comments. This place isn't a source of artistic growth for me anymore. The real world is.
Though I still collect favorites and greatly enjoy looking at work from others who inspire me.. I don't think this is a mature enough platform for serious artists.
It hasn't been for a very long time (if ever it was).

I will still post my work here, but I'm going to have to try a less involved approach.. whatever that means.
And the double watermarks will stay on every new image I submit. This is the #1 website that is used for theft and I'm not the only one who knows it.
That's probably a large reason as to why so many people have left.

I will share some of my new work here soon. But if you are serious about keeping up with my work.. please consider following me
on these other sites. I also have a professional website in the making and once it's up and live, I will share the news with everyone.
Furthermore, if you are a long term fan.. your feedback is more than welcome and I appreciate you taking the time to share it with me.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the massive appreciation that was given on my new Octopus image! It means a lot to me!!! :heart::hug:

This weekend I'm attending Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle) and I'm cosplaying as a Sith Lord (inspired by Star Wars the Old Republic and my own character creation).
Hoping to get some good photos of the costume up before I leave for my trip. So for those of you who are Star Wars nerds, keep an eye out. ;)

I'll be submitting a few new works soon and then I'll be out of town for most of April, so I will be AFK until probably early May!
I'm off to visit beloved Europe again. :)

Or when I'm young, you can all have my photos for free. I told my boyfriend he would have the task of putting my photos out into the world after I die (since they're already on the internet).

I always joke that I might become a famous artist after I die. Like all the others.. :lol:

I'm not going to die, but I was just thinking about death because somebody I know died recently. We can go at any time. So my Photos belong to all my fans when I am gone.

On a side note, I am going back to Europe this April. I will have more travel photos to share. But I should probably finish sharing my ones from last year first. ;)
So I wont be online much in April! But I will be back in May.
