My deviantART Story

5 min read

Happy Birthday dA! I can’t believe that dA is now 14!

I signed up for my first deviantART account on October 16, 2005, after spending a couple of weeks of lurking and admiring all the beautiful art on the site. I can’t remember how I ever found this site nearly a decade ago, but at the time I was really into fan art and I think that I must have followed a link from someone’s website over to here.

When I first joined, I was in college and I had just switched my major over to art and I wanted a place where I could post some of my creations and get some feedback. Over the past 9 years, I’ve learned a lot from this site and the dA community. The tutorials that people submit to this site are absolutely invaluable – everything from drawing, to digital painting, to html, and editing journal skins.

More recently I’ve been fascinated with animated .gifs but I never knew how they were made or how exactly to make them, or even what program to use, until I ran into a few tutorials on here and eventually learned how to create them in Photoshop.

What's been going on...

It's been ages since I last updated my journal on here – it was just too complicated to write updates with that old journal skin.

Anyway, not much has been going on around here – I dislocated my knee on Jan 31st & have been laid up for weeks. Thankfully it's on the mend and hopefully I'll be finished with physical therapy before Easter.

At least I don't need any more of those electrical muscle stimulation treatments, they weren't so bad if you don't mind looking like the bride of Frankenstein afterwards – all that voltage is murder on your hair. LOL, just kidding there's not enough voltage to make your hair stand on end.

It's really not so bad when on a lower voltage, it just feels like an odd tingling sensation but when it's high, it feels more like hundreds of pinpricks. Thankfully, I had an icepack on my knee during the treatments which dulled that sensation somewhat. At any rate, it's better than having a tooth drilled without novocain.

I'll be reopening my Etsy shop sometime after March 18th, although I won't be taking custom orders for a while yet.

Fun poll...

Since I haven't been able to do too much, I've been thinking of writing again. I absolutely love writing sci-fi and I've had an idea in the back of my head for some time now for a story–that's why I have the sci-fi POV poll up on my page.

I've asked the question before on dA & on Yahoo Answers and have received 39 replies – here are the results that I have so far:

• 66.6% – POV of the Aliens
• 17.9% – POV of Both
• 15.5% – POV of Humans

So what POV do you think would be the most interesting for a sci-fi story? If you have time, vote in the poll or leave a comment to let me know.

Hi Everyone

I've been so busy these past few months that I haven't visited my page here in ages, in fact I don't even remember the last time that I visited my page. Yikes! When I logged in, I was surprised to see so many favs and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's favorited my items!

I love making animated buttons – I just learned how to do it back in September – and after all the favs I've gotten on my Etsy buttons, I'm thinking of making some more as soon as I get the time.

Hi!

Nov 6, 2011

Shop Opening Friday I've been crazy busy lately with trying to get everything finished before opening my new Etsy shop, Foxy Boxy Solutions. Everything is almost finished. :phew: Just a few more photos left to edit and crop...four more boxes and then I'm done with photos, for a couple of weeks. Thankfully everything else is almost finished and my 'To Do List' is getting shorter instead of steadily growing. I'll be ready to open my shop on Friday, Nov. 11th, just in time for the holidays. Sneak Peek Here's a sneak peak of a couple of my favorite items that are going to be for sale: :thumb267333774: :thumb267333923:
