I just got the memo from dA announcing that today is the day I can start celebrating being a deviant for a year. Oh, and buy a "swanky" premium membership while I'm at it. oh the joys. _{Too bad I'm broke right?}

But let's review this past year and see what, if anything, I've accomplished. (dA related and not)
1) I have actually drawn something. <= that's pretty good considering all through highschool I suffered art block
2) I finished my first year of college and am now into the second (and last year)
3) I have a job lined up so I can start working right after college
4) I've come to find the true meaning of friendship and realized that I have yet to find my soul mate/best friend/muse. On the other hand I've surrounded myself with many, many very good friends. We have a blast
5) I have the outlines for a tiger-based comic done. A year ago was the beginning of that idea and I have yet to produce anything worthwhile, but I took a step back and now I'm taking a new approach to it. Things should be better.
6) I've grown in my self-confidence, now it's less about what people think and more about what makes me happy.
7) I've met a few people here on dA that have inspired me, helped me, and/or just been someone fun to talk to. Thank you guys so much!
8) I'm getting better and better each time I practice digital drawing, althought pencil and paper will always be my best form.
9) I've found my spiritual path and am loving it.

Pretty dull list, so I apologize for the time you've spent reading this. I resolve to become better organized so that I can spend more time drawing and be more productive here on dA. I haven't forgotten the suggestions you guys have made as far as new things to try out in regards to photography and digital art, so bear with me.

dA goals:
*Finish 20 Questions
*Finish editing =stormchylde's novel
*Work on Bandipur
*Work on gift art (get equine red lines)
*Do more photography

Okay, that about sums it up, I have to get out of here before I'm late for my next class!

Peace, Love, and Chocolate,
Ellie
