So I might be a little late to the bandwagon since dA celebrated its 14th birthday yesterday, but I'm going to do this :)

Ever since I could wave the mouse pointer on the computer screen, I would Google image search pretty pictures. Some of those amazing pictures led to deviation pages on here. So a few years later when I remembered the name of this website, I joined around November 2009 as FallenUmbra. I was around 14 at the time. Don't ask why I got that username--it was somewhat random and I made my account for the hell of it xD I started as the usual n00b by posting pictures that I found on the internet and really bad photos that I had taken with a crappy camera. I deleted most of my old deviations, but older ones might be found somewhere deep in my gallery.

Within a couple months I discovered the dA community. Got involved in a couple groups that promote constructive criticism and positivity. I even made friends that I love and cherish :love: Seeing them get deviousness awards and senorities made me realize how there are good and kind people in this world, especially on the internet. :) During my early years on here I had a great time and talking in the forums and giving constructive criticism helped me overcome my shyness and opened me up to new forms of art.

Nowadays I'm a little bit busy to get involved in the community because I had to study before I graduated high school. Now I'm moving into a college for a six year pharmacy program :faint: So I will not be as active as I used to be as college will come first to me. But every time I log on I see a lot of good things happening and I'm glad that some people are still devious :la:

So what's your dA story?

So me and Desinent-Riviera are working on writing a script for a sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel and we need an illustrator who is willing to sketch and/or ink and color pages of the comic. This is an unpaid position right now, but we do plan to publish it one day. We also need beta readers who can read parts of the script and give awesome, constructive feedback :)

If you are interested in illustrating for the comic, please send me a note :note: and include one or two pieces of your work.

If you are interested in beta reading for us, send me a note :note: and let me know what method is best to contact you (email, dA notes, skype, etc).

If you have any questions about this project, comment below :la:

Also, if you can't help us out by drawing or beta reading, then I would appreciate it if you guys can spread the word by telling your friends and watchers about this!

Happy New Year!

Hey guys! Depending on where you live, I might be a little late to tell you this, but Happy New Year 2014!

I hope 2014 would bring a lot of good things for me. This year I'm graduating from high school and I got accepted into two of my top choice universities. I certainly hope now that I can move on to the next best things in life :la:

So what do you hope for this year in 2014? Let me know!

Hello guys <333

I know that I've been inactive for a while now, and some of you have left thoughtful comments on my page or have talked to me once or twice over skype. I will be taking a definite hiatus right now because I want to focus on my senior year in my high school and hopefully get into the college of my dreams. I may pop in once in a while, submit some art, and reply to comments, but I am definitely focused on my studies. Feel free to contact me on skype :) You are always welcome to talk to me.

Love you :iconlovesplz:

It's actually only 5 days including the weekends and Monday, but whatever.

I'm sorry if anyone has noticed my inactivity. It's not like I don't have time for the Internet anymore because I still use it everyday. The reason why I have not been on here for a while is because I am truly busy with all my classes, especially AP Chemistry <.<

I really miss you guys and all the wonderful things that you have done! It makes me sad to think that I have not been talking to all of you in a while. Hopefully I'll get around to answering some of my messages and going on skype to catch up with things :hug:

So far my year has been pretty good. A lot busier and harder, but I'm doing well. I'm looking into a few colleges and universities to apply for. Lately I've been volunteering for a nursing home and animal shelter for my recent invitation to apply for the National Honor Society. I hope I get in!

Despite how busy I have been (and the fact that I had just taken out my wisdom teeth over a week ago), I was able to get back to playing on flute again! I'm trying to attempt to cover a few of my favorite songs, something that I always wanted to do. I also have to practice some of my marching band parade music because I'm going to be marching a parade in Washington, D.C. in a few weeks!

Over the summer I'm probably going to be busy as well because I have to teach myself physics for my senior year class and attend a one-week business program at a college.

That also reminds me: last summer my mom encouraged me to make some origami jewelry to sell in craft shows. It was a mild success, but I still have a lot of jewelry left over. Since a friend of mine started her own Facebook page for her stuff, my mom wanted me to start my own page for my stuff. Click here: www.facebook.com/itsybitsyorig…
I'm learning a lot just by starting my own personal business, and it has also helped to expand my creativity :) Besides, I love to make people happy. If you all could spread the word, that would be very helpful to me!

So for some people who still watch me, tell me how your day has been and how 2013 has been so far. :)
