I am SO glad I joined this place! I think I'm rapidly becoming addicted...which is ok by me! The people are so friendly and welcoming and really all very talented. I feel very much at home here.
I've decided that this will be my main ID for my deviations, but that I'll be adding another one for my stock images. I have VAST amount of images that I think would work really well for other artists to use and I would like to give back to the community in this way.
A little about me, I paint using oils mostly and I airbrush using Paache VL's. I also draw and sketch using pencils, charcoal, markers and ink. I am new at digital art and photomanipulation, but I've been a commercial graphic designer for about 8 years now doing more boring stuff like print work, catalogues, brochures, AutoCAD and desktop publishing type stuff. I really would really much rather do the digital fun stuff that I'm starting to do now. I've never had any form of formal training in art...or even in graphic design. I'm sure it's noticeable in some respects...
I was pretty much born an artist and as soon as I could talk was claiming I wanted to be an artist when I grew up! I'm a creator being!I'm finding that all I want to do all day long is draw, paint, photo-manipulate and play on deviantART... finding and adding faves is FUN! I have been getting such inspiration from fellow deviants.
BUT, alas, I have a day job where I work at home and a very busy 16 month old son so I DO have to do other work and play with my budding little deviant child....the latter, of course I do not mind doing.
