Indentity Change!

Hello all,

It's Electagonist as ive come to be known here and on DA. With the prospect of the new forum on the possible horizon and the fact I wont be able to change it later Ive decided to change My Identity to my actual name, as It is the name I want to be known by as an Artist. and as Deviant art wont allow a simple User name change. Ive had to start a new Account. its a bit heart breaking leaving the old account, and name behind, they have been good to me and I had managed to find a bit of a following over on DA. But I decided to do it as I intend to use the new account for the remainder of my art career and it will only get harder as the page views climb.

The old Account is now going to house my growing art collection of Electagonist and my other characters. be it freebies commissions or gifts. I will still keep my old gallery there as well as I don't feel like bringing it all over and I'm trying to improve and distance myself from some of the older stuff, as well alot of the pieces have been faved by alot of people and I would hate to have to go through and notify everyone.

I would Appreciate all who have followed my Art thus far to continue to Support me by watching my new account. this is all a bit difficult for me to do as I fear I will lose some of my watch list which I value as many of the artist's on it I value there opinions and criticism and the general supporters help me feel good about my art when im being too critical of my own work.

Thank you to those who follow me through this change, I feel it is a change I have to make. the move should be complete by the end of the month by that time i should have a slew of new art for the new account and the collection should be set up.

p.s My apologies to anyone who will miss my old name

Don't name change too much. Otherwise, you'll be like David Bowie: in complete denial that originally, you were an overweight Korean woman.

haha no... I haven't gone to that much trouble to change my identity

I, for one, welcome the name change! I always thought "Eddy Swan" was a name synonymous with "artist", so I am glad you have decided to use it. Besides, it has a nice ring to it! Good luck with your next step to a higher artistic level. I will be keeping my "eye" on you! (note my avatar)

An eddy swan is a bird of the genus Cygnus, in the family Anatidae, which is known to inhabit the areas of swirling currents in rivers and streams.

They're very majestic.

They also eat paste.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Changing your name??!! You're just like that Prince chick or that Puff Diddily-doo dude!

The thing with name changes, is that you eventually wonder about changing it back. >>

I sort of regretted changing mine ages back, so now you're stuck with a Fox again.

But! Is an artist by any other name as... uh...

I fail at references. Duly noted, though!

I've spent a very very long time pondering the change, Pretty much since I started posting here. Electagonist was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I ended up keeping it because i didn't want to start a new deviant art. It's my name and i want it to be the name people know my art by. I've always signed my artwork ES in the shape of a swan so as for doing artwork by another name, ive always done it under my name and the electagonist was just another confusing element. So I doubt I'll regret it.

And I knew someone was going to pick up the prince reference in my Sig. that's just staying there so nobody say's ''Hey who's this eddy swan weirdo?" I'll be chucking that out in a week or so.
