My deviantART Story

14 years ago, deviantART was born. 12 years ago (more or less), i signed up. I have told you about my first steps before, so i'm not going to bore you with it all again. Instead i'll add a few thumbs to some very special deviations and talk about those…

But Winamp skins wasn't the only fascinating thing about dA back then; icons was another. The Dent icons (left) was one of the first sets i've used for quite a while – and even made my own ones. And i've been using Buuf (right) pretty much non-stop and on every computer i owned since i stumbled upon it – i just love it so much that i still can't seem to get rid of it. 


I've been drawing my whole life, but never anything quite as elaborate as this. dA opened my eyes and showed me what was possible, and i finally had to try stuff like this myself.


Over the years, people have dedicated stuff to me, and even drawn things specifically for me. Drawings like these: 



And finally, there are a few pieces that i've collected over the years that continue to blow my mind whenever i look at them. Here's a small selection:
