Well, it's that time of year again - that's right, my dAnniversary.

Well, this time it's the big 6. Six years ago, a friend of mine was giving me the rundown of this great website she had found and told me to join. Who'd have thunk that six years later, she would have dropped off the face of dA for good, and I would have quite a following (as well as a much increased love for art).

Just a look backwards...

It seems that I broke 40,000 pageviews. I'm not a pageview braggart in the least, in fact I find it quite irritating, but it was a milestone to be noted. Considering that in 2005 I had 100 pageviews, to receive an average of 10,000 a year is impressive.

My most popular piece, has over 11,000 pageviews - something I never would have thought any of my pieces would receive. It also has 300+ comments and 100+ favourites.

But I think the most memorable of all my time on dA has been spent on the forums and in dAmn. Oh the fun of the old #lolwat. Oh the sarcasm found in #NaziPit. Oh the ... geizers found in #Seniors. It's just too much fun.

And then there are the friends... oh, the friends. Those whom have stuck by me, and I have trusted most... you know who you are, and I love you to death. I can't play favorites because it's not quite fair, but you do know who you are.

... Well, I can play favorites. AT least for one. has put up with my shit for 4 years now, and I LOVE HIM. Everyone needs to go give him some serious lovin'.

And with that, I bid ye farewell.

I'll try to update again soon.
