First Year of Art-ID

I am posting this on the first anniversary of my first deviation submitted. It has been an interesting year, full of learning, frustration (when my PC died), wonderful encounters, and the making of new and cherished friends. Although I have been a member for longer than that, and I have been coming here to look at deviations for many years, this commemorates my "Art Year".

In this piece I have arranged all of my manips for the year, a few detail shots, my first stamp (presented in a way that lets you see both layers of the animation) and (in the center) my first attempt at an avatar (showing each of the pictures used in the animation of it).

In the corners, arranged in seemingly random order, is my heart, Lil Bit.

Thank you all for such a wonderful year.

I am also going to use this for my ID (thanks to an idea that has graciously allowed me to borrow), so forgive the double posting.


The base layer was created and colored in GIMP.

The "star-stream", set at 80% opacity is from [link] by =stinky666

Roses next to the words "Thank You" are from [link] by ~remidica-stock

Hearts are from [link] by =Shoofly-Stock

All other stock info is located with each individual piece, so take a look, if you are interested.

This thing is 4000 x 3000.


Of course, GIMP and Intuos 3.
