DA is kinda a slow site - it wouldn’t surprise me if it just takes them 3-4 months to remove images associated with deactivated accounts.
 
And I’m pretty sure he just left the fandom. It’s not the first time he did it either - he left a few years ago (but didn’t deactivate his account), and then came back several months later.

Well duh! :p I uploaded many of those myself. But it is far from the whole collection.  
In fact, in some cases I even uploaded thumbnails because they were all I could find and I could not bear the thought of said piece being completely lost.

He kinda announced leaving back when S03 was starting, iirc. He made a few more things after that at random, yeah, but always maintained that he was “gone”.
 
Why close the account and such? I have no idea, I literally do not have the capability to understand that sort of thing.
 
He has an active twitter, I guess people could look at that in the coming days for any mentions of why. Personally, I would pester him about it, probably already gotten dozens of pings across whatever-many sites/platforms he’s on.

If I had to guess, I have the feeling he was just trying to leave the fandom as silently as possible. With the way DA and Tumblr are designed, a lot of people just look at their notifications center/dashboard, and not individual profiles/blogs. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if over half his followers haven’t even realize he was gone yet.
 
He deactivated his account at least a month ago, if not longer, so I doubt that he’s going to make any sort of mention of it this far along. Kinda reinforcing my suspicion that he’s just silently leaving ponies behind. It still kinda sucks when it happens though :/
Goremise

@Joey  
Yeah, makes sense.
 
I only found out now because a friend told me about his comics being removed from DA. Had no idea he had already been gone for a month :/

I think the last time I heard from him was on the Star Citizen forums about a year before the Let’s all forget that Derek Smart is a lying piece of shit and take him seriously kerfuffle.

Fine: about July/August of 2014 in the MLP general thread IIRC. A lot of people even commented on it, expressing their surprise that he was also a backer.

daxhie who has left -
 
apparently someone posted the reason was that she despised the fact that she had drawn porn so she left the fandom and is still drawing elsewhere.
 
Some of the best looking Anthro models we have was drawn by someone morally against drawing it.
 
Kinda interesting that.

Random anons shitposting are not legitimate sources of information. Jesus moondancing christ, do you have any idea how many anons get bedrock-hard hateboners on artists for drawing NSFW art of their NOTP and hound them constantly about them being degenerates or traitors or whatever? It is a statistically relevant quantity.

You’re talking to the guy who completely believes that Josh Haber never saw season 1 based solely on the word of /mlp/ and some Background Pony. Despite the fact that watching every episode is literally a job requirement for the show’s story editor.
Goremise

@The Smiling Pony
 
Oh, Sorry, didn’t know. Really? That’s a thing? Wow.
 
Still, wanted to say something just in case, because I liked the artist :(
 
And what Big Max said, would still be cool to see what other good art is being drawn, even if not ponies.
