The artist is alive.
As ShinMekaku pointed out, they’re now on Twitter as WaterFanD.
Given that this site is overrun with AI and how the parent company supports a terrorist nation, I think this artist made the right call, in hindsight, to bail out of DA.
I plan on remaining here until I get the boot.
Happy Birthday, darkenrok!
They seem to be exclusively uploading on twitter now
