Hey, I've gotten a few questions recently about whether or not the group is still active.
The answer is yes, I and our mods regularly check the submissions and give advice to group members about what they're submitting or general tips for improving writing, art, and development. Very rarely does a day go by that I personally am not checking on the group activity.
However as many of our members prefer to put their development work on their personal blogs rather than on DA (preferring to upload only finished pieces instead), we have a Tumblr blog to help inspire and showcase our member work there at umbagog.tumblr.com
But what about the NPC's? How come I've not been posting as much about them of late?
Well currently, I've been working very hard on converting my original characters' stories into a graphic novel. I've been working on their stories for a while now and though I share that development here too, I'm more often working behind the scenes lately. It's a longterm project that probably won't see the light of day for another year or two, but I'm confident about where it's going. It involves a lot of development and exploration since before this group was even public that I'm excited to see be a singular, complete work distinct from our public space.
So if you're wondering why things are quiet, this is why.
*(note, NO OCs made by members in this group are used in the book. I like making my own characters and respect our members too much to do that).
