(almost) one year later

so yesterday I find out I have 9000 pageviews, and today I find out it's my one year anniversary of when I joined DeviantArt!

one year ago, I decided to start sharing my art with the world, starting with this picture
  
my very old, and very crap OC Snowy, with Toothless and her babies. Drawn on my grans (now my) I pad

this particular drawing I chose to copy must have been rather special at the time. I drew it on June 16th, the day after I saw httyd 2, all I said in the description was "guys, I saw httyd 2 yesterday, that movie was the death of me". hehe, I guess I was still in "mourning".

anyway, this one year I have spent with you guys has changed my life. I wouldn't be here, now, doing what I love, because of you. In one year I couldn't have dreamed to be able to draw like this (even if I'm still not happy with what I draw most of the time XD).

In one year, I would have never dreamed I would have made such amazing friends like you guys.

In one year, I wouldn't have dreamt that I would get over 30 comments on my art, or get amazing gift art from people, or get a comment from JACKSEPTICEYE HIMSELF, on my art

Basically what I'm trying to say, you guys, and you're support, are perhaps one of the greatest things I have ever came across

thank you
