This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!

One of my first image editing that I have done, in this case I wanted to make a wallpaper from a normal picture that I liked and that already existed so people can use it as they wish too.
My public gallery, most works are Anime, Visual Novel and/or Manga related but it can have other things too. It is categorized but all works are viewable in featured list too.
The Deviant ID shows you some info about me. I have changed my nickname as of recently into N.A.T.S.U. or simpler just Natsu. Final Flash was my old nickname that I used since I was a child, I wanted something original so I made my own nickname that has much more meaning about me than other nicknames.

----------------------- Hello everyone~ I wanted to share with you what I have found about Creativity and being Creative~ I am going through an Art-Block but it seems more widespread than I have thought, it might be in combination with something else too because it manifests a bit different in me than in others that I have seen and I do have it for around 2-3 years or a bit more now, forgot~ When I just think of doing something I get this feeling in my chest, my chest becomes very heavy and I breathe hard, something inside of me completely stops me from doing anything further, it is working against me and I can't get rid of it for some reason, it robs the will power, the strength away from me and the motivation to do anything, to even start~ Luckily I can think of ideas but I am blocked of realizing em because I cannot act unless I sort that out in me, unless I can overcome that what is holding me back then I can't draw or be creative any further~
The reason I got into it was that I might have done too much and burned out totally, I didn't know that such things existed at that time and especially didn't know how to manage when you begin to go through such things~ I want to fill the emptiness inside of me that was full once and gave me strength to draw or do other creative things but it seems that I cannot do it alone~
That's why I have written here so you all know of it too and help me with it~ Do you have any advices or even advices from people who have actually overcome such severe blocks~?
Thanks for your help if you do help, ahaha~ ^^
Here are some things that I have found out about Creativity, it might help you at least a bit too~ ^^
