14 years on DA!

[Umeko]

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
A year later I got a hold of my first tablet and submitted this 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 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!
