Gosh I hope it doesn't take as long as it took me to make my other DA story for my pendants' account Though there's more to say about this account than there is about the other one...Well...Here it goes!:

I started using DA about 5 years ago because someone mentioned it to me. She said it was a cool site that had awesome art. I was pretty shy at the time (well I think I still am?), and I didn't have many real life friends that were into art. So I didn't have many friends to talk about art or admire it. So when she mentioned DA I instantly made an account!

I still remember my first year. I was kind of shy trying to submit art, so I would submit photographs of random things on here.

Well they weren't necessarily random. I'm very into nature and animals (as some of you may or may not have noticed) so I submitted many photographs of animals and nature in general.

I even started a group about animals!
Eventually I started posting screenshots of a game (well I call it a game but to others it might not be a game) called SL (Second Life) I really liked creating avatars and customizing them to how I wanted them to look like


I was so into that game and I noticed many people had these fancy profile pictures that I decided to make my own too! So I started doing mini photomanipulations on SL screenshots

After this time, I started to REALLY get into KH (kingdom hearts). I convinced some of my friends and family to join DA! and I decided to unite our KH OCs! Well I think this was decided way before then but during this time is when we were really serious about it.

Through this I began to find more KH fanatics like myself and met these awesome people!: and There's a whole lot more but these are just a few. Sorry if I left some of you out! I had a lot of fun drawing my OC Lea and for a while, that was all I drew

Until recently (well it's actually like 2 years ago but it feels like it wasn't that long ago) I looked through my profile and realized that KH had taken over my DA life! LOL I decided to decrease the amount of KH artwork I submitted and tried to enhance my art skills and try to post more photographs of nature. Though around this time was when I transferred to a different university. The level of difficulty and attention to studies between the two were quite different. I kind of stopped posting as much as I used to but I posted different things.

I've met many different people and wonderful artists that inspired me to draw through out these years. Here's some that I've admired since I started and should check them out!:   (there's more but there's too many)

Anyways, about a year ago or longer, began making pendants. I want to say she's another person I convinced to join DA but I don't remember She's also another I'd recommend you look at as well! I'm not sure if she uses that account as often but she has quite a variety of nice work too Anyways, after she made them I started getting into jewelry more. I always liked handmade jewelry. Especially wire wrapped jewelry but I never really looked into it as much as then. I started getting into it more and more that I decided to make wire wrapped jewelry and sell them! Of course I didn't want my art to mix with my pendants so I made a separate account for it If you guys want to know it just send me a note!

I think if it weren't for DA, I wouldn't have improved on my art or even expand my knowledge of art! I used to only see art as only traditional or digital but I realize now that there is a whoooole lot more than just digital or traditional. To me, everything is related to art just as everything is supposedly suppose to be related to chemistry

I guess that's it lol Sorry I couldn't mentioned more of you but there's waaay too many for me to remember So what's your DA story? If you made a journal just send me a link and I'll read it
