1 year of deviousness

One year. Times really running I'd say. Last year on August 13 I joined deviantART. With no expectations just curious where I would find my place among all those great artists out there. Since then so much changed. I learned A LOT from the community. I found new beading techniques I did not even have heard of till then, I found a massive amount of inpirations and I started drawing digitally because I adore a whole lot of artists that are already masters in this discipline and inspire me to keep improving, to keep trying out new things and not to give up when things won't work like I expected them to do. The last part mostly goes to your account my dear watchers. I want to thank you for being among my 124 watchers and among 5,437 pageviews in one single year. Most of all I want to thank my active watchers such as Clock-Inu or MusicAndArtItsMyLife. They are my two really ACTIVE watchers I'd say, those who also take an interest in me and my art or at least they show me. I do not want to insult anybody by saying so I just want to thank these two especially :3

To celebrate my one year anniversary here I'll give out one request among my watchers, if anybody is interested. Animals are preferred but if you like anatomy that's not fully correct I also do humans. Just comment below with a ref sheet and I'll pick one among you.


Now take a look at all those fabulous artworks among my faves that constantly offer me inspiration:

Rodrigo-Vega
I guess this guy is one of the major reasons why I joined deviantART. I so much admire his creature designs! Also the first guy I ever watched on DA.



W0LLE
He's also one of those artits I followed long before I joined this community.



ChiakiNeko
The one below is among the first images to draw my attention to digital art.



Cleytonoliveira
One day I will commission this guy if he is willing to. I need something just like this in my apartment :3



cerona
The first DD I suggested here on DA. I was so amazed by how much realism you can put in a painting considered the small amount of time she needed for it.



Nikolaj-Arndt
Simply because he's gorgeous. Check out his gallery! He manages a great connection between photography and traditional art.



555nm
One of the most interesting photographers I found here so far. I love his play with colours.



arvalis
An artist that really takes the time to answer questions and offer help to starters. I learned a lot from his livestreams.



otherwise
And finally my most favourite animation ever! This one is just too cute :3
