My Deviantart Story

Okay so, apprently a Deviantart Story is a thing now or something.

Also take this, Grin- I'm actually being active!! (I'd like to revamp my page, actually.)

Okay so, where do I start?

So most of you know that I didn't start my whole Digital art journey here; it started on Youtube.
I found people like Lushi, who now goes by Jupi, and Sayuken and all the rest of their gang and I got severely inspired.

At first I just made a few little dance animations and the like with characters that I had made up from stories I wrote when I was young; but because I loved Lushi so much, I wanted my own character to represent me.. My own Fursona.

It took a couple of tries, since Listra was actually my first fursona, Kiya didn't show up until later.
When I DID first make Kiya, she was actually a very normal looking cat who was just the lilac-purple she is today. So, no white patches, back paws, no braclet and NO bandana! 

Weird, right?

Anyway, it was some point around this time that I discovered Deviantart because my friend and total Sempai RaichuKitten (Holla if you remember!) had one.
So I set one up, but I didn't really use it for the first year and a half.

It wasn't until my Rosny college days, when I was acting like a social reject and spending all my days on computers in the library that I really started using DeviantArt because Youtube was blocked for a while on the School's computers.

It was then that I discovered what a great society it was, and it was good because I liked posting art without having to make a speedpaint everytime just so I could post it as a Video on my Channel.

You guys got me through a lot of tough times, too. Since I didn't really have any friends to speak of while I was at college in my second year, all my friends on DeviantArt really helped keep me going. Kayla especially.
What a total babe.

Seriously though, if it wasn't for all you guys, I probably would have stopped drawing a long time ago.

I know it sort of looks like I've dropped off the face of the planet; but despite how little I post, I still actually draw a lot.

I've made heaps of great friends on DeviantArt and I wouldn't trade them for the world. (Okay, maybe I would for the world but since the world was mine I'd just buy you all back.)

I often get people saying that I served as an inspiration to them, and got them started on their Digital quest; (I've been tagged in more than a few DeviantArt stories.)

But I just wanted to say that it's you guys, the ones who tell me how much you care or how much I've influenced your lives; it's YOU who inspires ME.

And I thank each and every one of you for that.
