Title: 14 years on DA!
Post by: Umeko on 2017-07-21 06:12:00
Today 14 years ago I signed into Deviantart for the first time and submitted my very first drawing online, that marked the beginning of my artistic journey online http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/2477306 (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/2477306)
A year later I got a hold of my first tablet and submitted this http://umeko.deviantart.com/art/Mina-Okemda-for-Mina-6435624 (http://umeko.deviantart.com/art/Mina-Okemda-for-Mina-6435624) and my passion for digital art was sparked.
Now 14 years later I submit pieces like these:

It's been quite the journey, it's been fun and I'm still going :D I'm never leaving DA, with almost 2000 submissions in my gallery and when I reach 100 000 pageviews I'll do something special for my watchers ^^

So today I am super happy! It's time for party! *Raises glass of wine*

So wonderful, Umeko!  DA has been around pretty much the entire time you've been there!  You are like an original there.

Yes :3 when I joined up, DA was still new.
The layout was much different.
I was like on DA the moment I got home from school til I went to bed like it was my home online!

It's all those memories that make it so nice.  Both good and bad memories shaped your time on DA.  It is probably really neat to think back at all the people you've met. Some you still know, some you don't.  But that is a long time there and you should feel accomplished knowing you helped shaped that community.

A few people are still my friends today :3
