So ahaha I'm doing the thing too :L

So I first joined January 29, 2011, 10 years old, so I was underage back then and really annoying I think i'm still annoying but shoosh but Now I'm 14 years old, going into Freshman year of HS |D I was an absolutely HORRIBLE artist back then. This was literally my first deviation:

So yeah. I only keep it up because it has 45 comments.

When I first started though I never imagined I'd get like, 10 watchers. Now I have 79 of them, _{despite many being on moved accounts now} but wow. My friend says they though I had like 300 and and I was like lolno. She's a gr8 artist though and has just got 500 _{so go give vamqi a congratulation}

BUUTTTT YEAAH. I was literally the worst artist ever. I did sonic recolors and stuff too it was gross ;<; They sucked really bad.
I actually deleted most of my old deviations though so gonna have to scour my scraps folder for older stuff I kept on here >u<;;


At one point I did a bunch of really bad AT's with people and augh they were okay for that time but AUGHH.
_{she still hasn't done her point omg XD I forgot about this} But yeah, I think back then I was aware of how bad it was despite being pretty decent? Also around this time I became a bit more social and active on the internet, despite being less social IRL. I had joined a group called SeedrianStarGalaxy where I met a bunch of nice people and great artists that actually got me to stick with dA. I'm not sure how I'd be if I hadn't joined this group, if I'd not stuck with dA I imagine I'd be a different person in many aspects? Idk

Later, I went through a pixel phase, which was actually... pretty good I think???
 I had fun with these but yee~ I did like 7 of them I think? Around this time I started getting more confident in my art, despite me knowing it sucked compared to many I mean these pixels were okay but my actual art.... EEEEHHHH.

Sooo then I joined a group called PKMN-Armonia and wowee I love it the people are so nice and amazing and this is how I met my awesome friend W00fsies and aah yes I <333 the people here so much~
They've helped me become more social and easygoing(?) on the web despite my now crippling social problems IRL here I hate people. 

Recently though I have become much better of an artist then ever before:
This is easily me best work. It's my Armonia character, Korau Kiershay. She's a Carbink anthro, using Lightscreen and aah I <3 the effects, the hair, the face, the anatomy and aaaah <3 I was so proud of this. Nowadays my style is extremely inconsistant but wowee I try so hard, and I hope to see myself improve more and more as I continue!


In all, dA has helped me a lot. I have improved my art, made friends like vamqi and XJayRose, as well as MatrixMoo (who actually turned out to be going to my highschool as well?? But this is her last year so aaugh) who are my literal 3 best friends. I have also convinced a couple friends to join dA, buuuut... YEAH they don't use it much.
TBH these people have helped he a lot and are the first people I ask if I need to chat and Moo actually convinced me to join something IRL (cologuard) which is a lot of hard work? But I mean it's really fun too so yeah <3 But dA as a whole I think has actually really helped me as a person; despite my horrid lack of social skills IRL dA ias where I go if I'm sad, mad, happy, etc and I just... I have so much fun and enjoy it so much here~ Thank you all for helping me better my art and myself~
