My deviantART Story

In honor of Deviantart's fantastic Birthday, I shall write this journal tellin' about my journey on this site. Let's begin! (and wait here- if you would like to do this whole dA story thing, the official journal is here. But read mine first ^^)

EDIT: I forgot to mention I have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a crayon. *END OF "EDIT"* So, I found out about deviantart through Ninjago. (is that a real surprise?) I was on google when I was 12 (it would have been 2012), when I saw some Ninjago drawings by artists like and . I was confused at first, because I saw Ninjago drawings that showed the characters as not Lego! But I quickly found that I loved that idea, and I began to draw my own art. Several months later I made my account. Here is my first post:

I continued to post drawings of mainly Ninjago and that Christmas I got a drawing tablet. 
< first digital art
I began to meet people through my first months, the first person to comment/fav my work was and my first friend was . (I will mention those are two fantastic people)
As I gained followers deviantart pushed me to work harder on my drawings and my skills kept improving! Now time to talk about something that isn't so optimistic. The day I got suspended. Now now, yes I know it was my fault for joining deviantart when I was 12. (I don't want to go through this again, so let me mention here I am 14 and not a force to be reckoned with so do not suspend me under any circumstances thank you) Anyway, obviously, being 12 and mentioning it was a grave mistake because I was suspended shortly after my, I dunno, 50th? watcher? maybe? I wouldn't remember...I try to forget 7th grade XD So they day I got suspended I literally cried and that was terrible. So even while being suspended, I still went to friend's pages and looked at some art and I even tried to find replacements to deviantart but nothing is like this! So I ended up, sitting and waiting, and watching art get stolen before my eyes with nothing I could do about it and I eventually made it to age 13! That is why if you go in my gallery there is one point where you can see a huge gap missing. eh. 

Also, I want to take this moment to mention deviantart helped me through some depression and other rough times. You guys are just so supportive. There were times I didn't mention when I wanted to deactivate. I wanted to give up art forever. But I didn't, because the wonderful support I recieved from so many people here. 

To this day, my most popular drawing is 
with over 6,000 views. (thanks, guys!)

Anyway, I now have around 380 followers and I will mention to my followers I'm going to do a raffle when I reach 400! My art has improved so much, and really I must thank deviantart for that. It's just such a fantastic site~
