My DA journey starts eleven years ago when I first joined. I was fascinated by how people could make colours and lines look so amazing when I could barely draw anything.

Whilst battling an endless fight with the voices in my head, I found DA and the community a great way to escape for a while and talk to like minded people.

I saw awesome art made with photos of normal people. Not super models or famous people, just general every day people. So I wondered if maybe I could be made to look 'beautiful".

I loved what was made. I loved how others could envision things I hadn't even imagined. I threw myself into the community, wanting to make everyone as upbeat as I felt.
I met people I grew to love, I lost some along the way which is pretty shitty but I still have some of the best friends I'll ever have and a load of friends across the globe. Now that is impressive.

The dark times returned as life went on. But DA was always my light in the darkness. The people were always there, no matter what the hour or the problem. DA was a community. Not just about the art. It was a huge group of friends with similar interests, we just couldn't all fit in the same room!

I joined dA when I was about sixteen. Now I look back I realise I was a child then. So was this website. It had found its feet but still hadn't really sky-rocketed to the place it is today. I grew, things changed. The site grew, things changed (ZOMG WE H8 THE NEW LAYOUTZ!1!! etc) but DA was always there, always patiently waiting as my homepage for me to pop by and check in. This makes me happy knowing there will always be one place I will feel truly at home, no matter what my location is.

On the fifteenth birthday I will then have Warbringer with me. I look forward to introducing them into the magical world of art and letting them see a bit of the light too.

(Obviously I will have to censor what they see, some of you are perverts.)
