My deviantART Story

This will be a very short journal because I'm currently in a hotel room typing this out on my tiny little iPod touch screen (and man, this is next to impossible!) but I'll try to come back and edit this later when I'm at my computer again in the next few days.

Anywho, I've been on DA for a little over 6 years; on one of 4 different accounts. I originally joined (initially) as a way to keep track of all my favorite fanart and references, but one day I got tired of looking at other people's work and decided to start making my own! At that time, I was also buying a lot of art from people on a site called Gaiaonline. I wanted to see if I could draw the things that I was asking other people to draw for me!

From there, I started posting pieces from my highschool art class portfolio, and I started illustrating characters from the stories I used to write in my free time. Some of the feedback that you get on this site is so supportive and encouraging, and the community here has always been so friendly and creative. The community and the atmosphere of this site has always been so amazing. I met some really awesome and talented friends through deviantART! Whenever I'm working on a new piece, I always have DA opened on my browser for inspiration.
