Yay, reached 300 page views.   So this isn't a large feat for most people, but for me who never even expected to do much with this page, that is awesome.  As well as to my first two followers ever, thanks guys.  And a few of my art pieces reached over 100 views, which is great.  Thanks to everyone who has my artwork, it meens a lot.  And thanks to all the people that have critiqued my work, which has hopefully made me a better artist and will continue to improve my artwork.  I'm hoping to start adding some traditional artwork soon, some of my drawings and paintings.  And I'm hoping in the near future to start doing digital painting (if I ever get my bamboo drawing tablet) as well as coloring line art.  But I found a new love with photo manipulation.  It is just amazing that with this you can take any picture you want, take anyone you want, and put them anywhere, have them do anything that your mind can think up.  I can take a picture of my daughter and have her be the captin of a ship, then make her be a fairytail princess among butterflys.  I can make you look skinny, turn myself into an alien, have my husband ride a black and green tiger, I just love it.  It is so nice to find such a great community to flex my creative muscles here at deviantART, and I am so happy to be here.    Thanks again everyone and I hope to continue to do better in my artwork and branch out.
