My deviantART Story

It's a story of beginnings.
It was circa November, more than year ago, when I found the dead end of the Gorillaz Story. Watched every video, played every game, read every story. Oh, and found out about Jamie and Damon splitting up for good. Yay!
I started wandering, searching for anything, that'd soothe my nostalgia. By accident found dA, with a plenty of Gorillaz fanart. That was good, but I founded better - an artist, who did not only drew fanart, not only created stories about my favourite band, but seemed to just TELL them, just as if they happened. Just like that.
It was rumrock.


I signed up just so I could be notified of his new works. He's the actual, historical reason why I'm here. Arigatou.
From a lurker, I evolved into a commenter. Not only watching, but also commenting, growing emotional bond (though one way, as I actually rarely comment) with some artist and characters. Characters I've got more sympathy to were these of Britt315 - creator of what I perceived as a continuing tradition of Disney. Oh, and of course the cutest character ever -

Brinly <3!

The beginning of the biggest changes I owe to OtherworldlyHippie. On her profile I first time found the term "Otherkin". I started searching. Found the community.
Found, that there are others like me. Whole community of people like me.
My connection with her (remember, I speak only for one side) was special. Besides an emotional attitude to her art, I've seen something more - alikeness. She was a first 'kin of so called "wooden folk" I found, that, just like me, wasn't codified in any way. Didn't have a bunch of persons of the same species somewhere on the internet -like me. And in her stories of Aktuu I found my thought, my relation with Mother Nature (back on my world and here).
And that was not the end. She was the first person, who started watching me. And that gave me power. Hope.

Yeah, I definitely see some connection with power here .
And so, after a year of commenting (and 'bout two years of not publishing anything online) I published a text here. Got a fav. A comment. Suddenly I've got irons on fire. Maybe not ALL OF THEM, but yeah, some.
Soon the evolution processed further - I found my favourite storyteller, from which I continue to learn writing in that language. It was GuinevereToGwen. And, well, moved me through a literature, which doesn't happen to me so often, with her excellent play:

Nowadays, the developing continues. I still am finding people with unique ways of telling stories, just as an intriguing and thoughtful aerendial

(and never, EVER scroll past his works without reading title or description. Just don't you dare.)

or a man with the BIGGEST imagination I've ever seen, BlakeZ

(I'd say that one if you see one of his works, it's just a PIECE of this work )
And gosh, I'd love to be able telling stories like that some way.


And it's never-ending. I've started looking up some photography lately ( xACook is really worth mentioning - I guess I've always had a thing for storytellers _^_), and gods only know, what tomorrow will bring. And ALL OF THIS thanks to the glorious dA, just in the beginning of it's teenage years. And if all these changes were brought to me by him in just one year, I really can't imagine, what will his rebel-phase bring .
Long live the dA, the mightiest art community ever existing!
