It's no surprise I absolutely love this community and what this place has done for me - I say so every single year, I'm just that thankful!
So I have a mini challenge for people, which I'm also going to do myself. Over the next 24 hours, go to 12 peoples userpages and send them a hug or love or a woohoo... possibly send them a deviantART muro drawing on their userpages. Why? Because ultimately this community is not just about being able to share art and inspire each other... there are humans behind the art. Let's connect with each other not just our art
If you post to say you've completed this mini task, I'll be sure to pop along to your page and send you loves and a mini deviantART muro doodle (not that I'm any good at drawing!)
Happy 12th Birthday dA








For me- I wanted to say 'thank you' to all the artists that have influenced me (through art and other ways) through this year, thanks to deviantart. So that's what I did!
Thank you for this great idea (though I didn't follow it to a 'T'.) It's great to let people know they're appreciated, and that deviantart can be a great way to foster community, not just great artwork.
