Gallery review (A must see)

Fri Mar 9, 2007, 4:47 PM
I just hit 60 deviations yesterday and I have 12 scraps, plus I've been here for over a half year, so let's go through them, shall we? Keep in mind that this is laced with some humor.

My existence on Deviant Art:
I first found this place back in 2003 when some one at a forum I no longer go to showed me some of their stuff. I was not into art then so I just viewed and not join. Then when I joined up at KRR, I found a lot of people were at DA, but I still didn't see the reason to join. But this past summer ~Sivon was the final convincing factor that got me to join. I made a few submissions here and there, but was quite mediocre. I quickly submitted four things to load up my gallery in August. September passed without a single submission. Around the end of October I submitted an excellent photo manipulation which received a huge amount of attention, 2 of the commenters don't even watch me. I proceeded at a steady pace through December remaining quite active. However my Christmas deviation was placed into scraps because it was apparently miscategorized. I just hope it wasn't a dreaded warning. January and February seemed to blend together with over 3/4 of my gallery coming from those months. And now here we are in March, my least favorite month ever.

-------------------
The deviations
-------------------
Key:
D# = deviation
S# = scrap


D1: Nintendork: the portrait [link]
submitted: August 23rd 2006
Summary: A basic drawing done 100% in Flash MX; First known portrait of my persona
My impression: I did this way before I joined DA, I just wanted something to submit.

D2: Nintendork Sprites [link]
submitted: August 23rd 2006
Summary: Some sprites I did a while back
My impression: I was rather impressed at the time considering they were some of my first sprites, but now I realize they are quite mediocre.

D3: Eyeguy [link]
submitted: August 26th 2006
Summary: Sprites of a shy guy with a huge eye rather than a mask
My impression: My idea of humor in sprites would be this. I have yet to apply these or have some one else use them, but they're there.

D4: My desktop as of August 27th, 2006 [link]
submitted: August 27th 2006
Summary: Read the title
My impression: A tranquil Terragen background that I put some minimal effort into.

D5: The next generation [link]
submitted: October 21st 2006
Summary: An anthro made using photo manipulation
My impression: Just wow, I still am amazed I could pull it off. I got a lot of attention from people with this one.

D6: Red Blood Cell [link]
submitted: October 21st 2006
Summary: a simple red blood cell
My impression: shortly after finishing "The next generation" I decided to fool around with burning and dodging and created a red doughnut that looked oddly like a red blood cell.

S1: Advance Wars nations [link]
submitted: October 29th 2006
Summary: Where the Advance Wars nations would be in the real world.

D7: Nintendork Sprites, V2 [link]
submitted: November 19th 2006
Summary: Same sprites with added poses plus weapons

D8: Merry Christmas 'n Stuff [link]
submitted: December 18th 2006
Summary: Christmas Deviation
My impression: I wanted to do a Christmas Deviation, but I didn't wanna spend much time on it. I actually did Merry Christmas 2006 map for Quake 3 for everyone in terms of Christmas, located here: [link]

D9: Triple-O in living realism [link]
submitted: December 18th 2006
Summary: yet another photo manipulation to create real anthros.
