~My Artistic Journey~

Heart:iconcommentplz:Heart

Aaaaah, I got it done in time! :)
Ever since I saw that contest announced, I wanted to join, I like things like that. :D
Okay, explanation time! The different titles display what was the main "theme" for these years for me...
The backgrounds are reused parts of old images, the characters are all newly drawn, in my old styles. Soooo...if anyone who's on here had their characters changed over these years, sorryyy...I used their old designs, how I drew them back then, otherwise it wouldn't have fit. :´D Old Thorins are in there as well...wheee!
Mistakes are done deliberately!! 8´D In old years, of course...2014...not... X´>

Joy (~2003)
The beginning of everything, art was fun. Just fun. I used to draw pixel-ish art back then and used PaintShopPros stamp-thingies for my backgrounds. :D

Inspiration (2004-2005)
I met my first friends, joined a community (SWG, ShadowWalkersGallery) and DeviantArt - got inspired by all those wonderful artists on here.

Ambition(2006)
Ambition is good, but too much will kill you...infact, it killed my online "me". I screwed up and in the end I was...basically alone again. In this time falls my "dark time", art which I just HATE, because I wanted to improve too fast and...yeah, too much ambition...
More on this in December, I want to finally make up this huge mistake!

Improvement(2007-2008)
After the downfall came improvement - and lots of it! My favourite art comes from these years, it shows again how much joy I had with drawing...and with having fun and not worrying about becoming better, I became better!

Friendship(2009-2010)
Art trades, gifts, being part of communities (Wajas, Gingaboard...)...friends was definitely the main topic of that time.

Love(2011-2013)
Love can be definited by different things now...the obvious is that I started playing SWTOR at the end of 2011 and found my BF through it in 2012...I also grew really attached to my main character, who ended up becoming my second fursona then. I'm also loving a bunch of pictures from these years... :heart:

Thankfulness(2014)
This year I became more active here, making new friends, improving, having fun...and I'm thankful, really thankful for all the support YOU guys give me. Thank you so much everyone! This year is dedicated to all you awesome people! :heart: :hug:

*edit* I knew I forgot to explain something! Why did I choose this template? Because my journey was exactly that way...until 2006 it was straight forward, then I screwed up big times and choose a different path/behaviour...
I feel that I became a different person in 2006...years later I'm slowly getting back at that "normal" path. Now in 2014 I'm back on my journey.
