deviantART as got to be one of the nicest social networks ever. It remembered my deviantART registration anniversary. Today marks one year since I first signed up, and looking back, it has been the most rewarding social network I’ve ever been on.

Twitter hasn’t really given me much in terms of input. I just give out, and out, and out. And I am greeted with a general silence.

Various forums have never been very good either. Then again, I’ve never really immersed myself in any of them. I usually only join out of necessity.

and facebook, what can I say about facebook? Facebook, is still a joke. From the games to the groups to the millions of people screaming for a dislike button. (It will never happen)

deviantART has been the only network which I’ve really gotten into, and it has been worth it. It has given some great feedback which has helped me grow as a designer and a photographer. More than that, just seeing mountains of other peoples photos and designs have been great for inspiration and goals.

To illustrate this, just take a look at the first photo I ever submitted. Sunlight through the Trees Overexposed, overly natural colours and overly generic.

and then one of my latest. Yellow Awe
It isn’t hard to see that I’ve gotten better. I’ve still got a long way to go, but at least I’m on the right track. Which is good.

So anyway,
Thank you to everyone who supported me by commenting on my artworks. It has been awesome!
