(May I just say I'm glad my headache is over, I got a very high fever some days ago and headaches due to sinusitis)

Well, first of all, I've been in DA for so long that I had to check my main page to know how long I've been here and omfg, 10 years already?!

Anyway, I remember I've joined DA because back then I was only 14 and I wanted to meet other people that liked to draw, and I was amazed with so many talents in this site. I remember one of the first artist that I seriously loved their work was hakubaikou :

at sunset by hakubaikou    haven by hakubaikou

Unfortunately, she died some years ago in a car crash accident. We both liked Rurouni Kenshin very much and she encouraged me to keep drawing and posting my work online. I got really sad when their family posted a final journal in her page explaining to all her fans and friends that she had passed away. May she rest in peace.

DA is full of drama and stuff, I got myself in some drama (who hasn't?) but I also met so many wonderful people, some even became my irl friends, like AllGeekComics, I really like his black and white works:

DeviantART was also the place that had shown me that cosplay can be much more than just go to an anime convention wearing some costume (btw, my favorite cosplayer was the first one I've ever found in DeviantARt, behindinfinity). I wish I could be pretty and awesome like them, but I'm just happy to cosplay my favorite characters

Here are some awesome cosplay photos I've favorited so far:

Pirates of the Caribbean: You Walk Like A Girl by behindinfinity  Thorin Oakenshield Con01 by hizsi  Euphemia 3 by chibi-lilie  Legend of Zelda - The Beast Hero by Rei-Suzuki  The Warrior Queen by Shinji-Mamoru

(I would post more but I'm lazy. lol)

All I can say is that I don't regret spending so much of my life time in DeviantART, for I've met many people and learned so much from them and their work... in particular, I think if I hadn't seen so many awesome watercolor and Copic marker works here I may have never tried to master those two techniques, so I guess I'll end this journal featuring some of my favorite Copic and watercolor works:
