Six years ago, I wandered upon Deviantart. Too young to understand the complexities of digital media, no access to a scanner to submit the dragons and furries I would draw back then, I made an account here so I could put my art somewhere for people to see it. I wanted to be praised for my art, I wanted the world to see what I was capable of.

I was 12, so not much. Course, it took me like two years to realize I spelled my username wrong in the first place. I think my 12-year-old brain was trying to spell "Psychofox".

I had no credit card, no money, my parents were staunchly against buying anything on the internet, so I could not get a premium membership. But that's okay, its not an essential. Over the last six years Ive used deviantart for, well, pretty much what I originally intended to use it for. Submitting art, hearing the feedback from the community, building a chunk of followers and getting my artwork out there. Not much has come from it, but what has is worth it; confidence.

Now, I'm a college student. I have some money under my belt, and a bank account in my own name with a pretty little card to match, and I decided today to get a premium membership. Maybe I'll make a journal skim or something... But mostly I did it in an acknowledgement of just how long Ive been with this site.

Looking forward, I see myself opening up for Commissions. I see myself getting some prints made. But mostly I see myself just continuing to get better at this whole "art" thing.
