Well yeah.. I'm doing this :P (Lick) So don't complain. Besides, I think this is a pretty interesting idea and I seriously need to do features again XD I'm not featuring just five artworks. I'm doing as many as I want. :P (Lick)
BEWARE THIS IS LONG XXDDD LOL

So I've been on DA for over a year now. When I first started, I didn't really know what to expect. Were people going to like/dislike my art? Would I make any friends?  Would anyone support me? I can honestly say "yes" to all of these. It took awhile, but I've made several friends on DA who support me and like my art. I've always been very self conscious about how good or bad my artwork is. I've never fully appreciated my skills. I always had that mindset that thousands of other people's works are better than mine. People may comment and say "Hey that looks great!" but I never truly believed that. Sure I was happy to hear it, but I just never believed it.  When I finally decided to join DA, I made several friends. Some are even mentors to me. Because of their support, I became fully concentrated on improving my skills to show them art they would want to see.

Shattered by Vyndicare This was one of my first drawings I posted on DA. This is also one of my first digital drawings that I was proud of. I'm not really too fond of it now since I didn't hand draw everything. The only thing I drew was the character.... :\ This is also the time where I only drew anime characters.
Amusement Park Fantasies by Vyndicare Now this on the other hand is my latest drawing. I never really worked with vibrancy that much. I am very proud of this for many reasons. It's all hand drawn, I'm getting perspective and foreshortening down (lol I hate it), I'm creating more effects with lighting, shading and coloring, and above all IT'S SO DETAILED! I was never good with detail. I didn't have much of an imagination to just make up detail and I didn't have the patience either. But now I'm improving on it! :D (Big Grin)
Monarch by Vyndicare This is an older drawing of mine. This is the only drawing I did that managed to get into one of those more elite-ish, high quality control groups, so this is one of my favorite pieces that I am most proud of. ^^ This is also when I was trying out semi-realism after I saw vtas work.



For the next features, these are for all the people who inspire me or support me. This is also a sort of thanks to you all as well. :) (Smile)


:icongatanii69:
She was one of the very first people to watch and still support me. She's awesome friend and I can't thank her enough for her amazing support. On top of that, she's an amazing artist. I was shocked when she started watching me. I absolutely love her use of colors! :D (Big Grin)
brother by gatanii69

:iconc0ldstr1ke: and :icongrellbird:
These two girls are also one of the first to watch me. they're definitely my best friends on here. XD Because of my odd tenancy to say pineapples at random times, they both decided to call me Senpai Pineapple... Yeah, you two are silly. XD I honestly love you guys, I couldn't have any better friends than you two. CC and your cat obsession I don't know how far I would've gotten without your support and I seriously thank you for that.
   

:iconinkswell: and :iconrebelmyth:
You two girls are so funny and insane XD Ink is also one of my first best friends and watchers on DA. Her artwork is amazing and you can really see the improvements as she submits more and more work. Keep up with that TellTale style! It has an awesome effect with your horror drawings. :D (Big Grin) Myth... oh god.. Myth... You are by far, the craziest friend I've ever had XD I can't thank you two enough for your support and critique on my horror works! And I'm sorry Myth that I've scarred you.. I guess you won't go near a violin any time soon X3
Pasta Asylum by Inkswell  

:iconrenon1212:
She's a very talented anime/manga artist who is now one of my best friends on DA. I only met her a little while ago, but I feel that we've become really great friends. ^^ She's supportive of me, and I support her. She may not understand English that well, but that doesn't stop her from replying. XD We actually kind of learn each others language. She speaks in Japanese while I speak in English. Then we switch languages XD I love her artwork and she truly is an amazing person. Every time I get a comment or a reply from I can't help but smile. ^^
KanColle by ReNon1212
:iconanocurry:
Believe or not we became close after talking about our favorite game XD After I saw a collab she did with GreyRadian I went over to her page and found the most beautifully colored artwork I've ever seen. Seriously I can't get enough of it XD I scanned over her profile page and saw that she was a Professor Layton fan. Even her icon is a character from the game which is even better. I met her only about.. a month ago I think.. I don't remember, but I feel like I've got another best friend XD

The Lich by anocurry

:iconnilanandita:
After competing with her in an artbook contest, we've grown to be pretty good friends. Every time I looks at one of her drawings, my jaw just drops. I envy her talent with details and vibrancy! It's so amazing. Even though we get into the same contests, we still support each other and hope that one or other will win. She's a wonderful friends to have and I seriously can't stop staring at her work XD This is one of her contest entries she did that we both entered in.
My Private Library by NilaNandita
:iconpatriartis:
A very talented and skilled artist when it comes to scenery, I look up to him for his critiques and advice. I met him months ago when I saw a very detailed drawing of his. He's been very helpful and supportive of me which I found to be astonishing considering that he's on a whole other level of talent than me. His detailing on backgrounds and landscapes is incredible! Plus, I can't get enough of his Journey series! The little astronauts are just so adorable!
The Journey Continues with a Strange Encounter by Patriartis

:iconredpear:
Of course I would never forget you, Red! Your artwork just blows me away every time you create new work! I was so surprised when you started watching me! RP is a great friend and is extremely helpful! We always give each other advice on our drawings to better improve ourselves. Well.. at least I try to XD She's on a higher level than me, but there is always room for improvement. I lost track of how long it's been since we met, but man we have grown pretty close. I can't wait to see what other artwork you'll do. :D (Big Grin) This drawing is one of my favorites of her's.

CM - Incubate by RedPear
:icongreyradian:
Grey is truly an amazing artist! Not only that, but she's been extremely helpful and supportive of me! I' ask for a critique and she'd gladly accept. She's definite;y helped see mistakes I've made that I wouldn't have known if I kept going with what I was doing. Her artwork is so beautiful, I just envy the way she colors! I always get so excited when I see new artwork of hers. It's just so beautiful and amazing! Gosh, I'm so jealous of your skill XD And I must say thank you for putting up with me. Lol.
Ethereal Artbook Cover by GreyRadian
:iconmilyknight:
I don't know how long it's been, but I know I've been watching her for almost a year XD Her work is truly inspirational to me and I appreciate the advice you've me as well. ^^ I loved her artwork so much, I went ahead and bought a phone case from her which of course I'm still using. Even though I've dropped my phone hundreds of times, the case is hardly beat up. Sure there's a little crack in it but it's no big deal. This is one of my favorite works of hers. :) (Smile) It's also my phone case XD
Huh... by milyKnight
:iconvtas:
Last but not least is this talented artist! She was really the first artist on DA I started watching and continued watching! Her artwork is just so damn inspirational to me. She's the most helpful person I've come across and is super nice! I can't believe you put up with all those questions I ask, V! XD I consider her to be a friend of mine even if she doesn't. She's been so supportive and so kind to me that I feel like I could never repay her XD I love her work so much I even pre-ordered her artbook. I'm still waiting for it. I really want to see it O_O After looking though her gallery, I was inspired to start drawing more semi-realistic characters which she's helped me improve along the way. V is such a wonderful, creative, Nutella-loving person! I adore her artwork and I can't wait to get some money to commission her XD Here are a few of my favorite works of hers!!! :D (Big Grin)

Although to them I'm just one of the hundreds of watchers they have, to me, they are my inspiration. There work in my opinion is just truly inspiring for me. These people are some of the best artists I've come across. They definitely have no problems expressing themselves through their work. Some of them created very helpful tutorials which ended up helping me better my skills and I thank them for that. Whenever I get a sort of art block and I am not sure how to go about with a certain drawing, I end up looking at their artwork to get some ideas. I don't steak of course, I draw inspiration from them. Take several ideas and put them into one or something like that. I'm sure they appreciate the support and I really hope I'm not just spamming them with "fan-mail" of sorts lol. But I really do admire every one of these artists for their creativity and drop dead gorgeous work. I hope to learn a lot more from them ^^

So thank you to everyone who's supported me throughout these months! I've gained so much experience and made a lot of friends!
