Description
A day late, but oh well...
So yes, ten years on DA. Quite the milestone I must admit
Again, it would be fruitless of me to recollect development of my art style from specific years or remember certain events that inspired me / depressed me as not only do I have a semi-poor memory but I also made it a bad habit then of not dating EVERYTHING that I drew long before I joined DeviantART
So instead, here's a run-down of characters I've created in the past. Some continue to grow and develop, some have quietly fallen to the wayside while others are (im)patiently waiting for their turn.
From left to right (depending which side of the world you walk or drive on);
Goldie Fishing - an adorably shy little mermaid who doesn't realise how beautiful she looks underwater ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Abba Cadab - a good little witch who tries to help others with her magic, but dust and hay fever allergies continually mess things up ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Gobbler - a happy-go-lucky weasel and one of three members of "The Trio" ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Gloris and Claudie - two of several oddball creatures who inhabit an "lost" planet called "Terra Tellus". They like-like each other despite their differences in species ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Laura - a overly-friendly Lamia (NOT NAGA) who prefers bunnies as her staple diet than anything else --->qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Sticky Burd - a flightless, hapless little birdie
Me - myself and I
Stanley Bear and Bert Pterodactyl - the other two members of The Trio. Stanley's the unlucky-in-love sort while Bert is an egghead ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Boanna - also a Lamia (AGAIN NOT NAGA) but, unlike Laura, she's larger and the more...amorous of the two and would rather snack on mile-long Subways - ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Rodney and Freddy - a pair of hopeless wannabe criminals ala; "Victor and Hugo", 'cept they happen to be a fox and gorilla. Freddy has the brains and relies on Rodney's dumb muscle for bigger jobs
Gelatina - a mute but cheerful jelly girl (NOT SLIME) who likes to attempt "experimental modelling" with various objects in jelly ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Fleebus - another "Terra Tellus" character. Favourite prey to Gloris ---> qwertypictures.deviantart.com/…
Wilbur - a no-starter idea of a kid with a flip-flop head and a VERY wild imagination. Often has to be helped by his pet hamster to put things right
Zsa-Zsa - another no-starter idea of a crazy Hispanic girl brought up in a circus. Think Harley Quinn but voiced by Candi Milo
It's almost embarrassing to have so many concepts and characters yet life has a way of throwing me off of each time after time. Hopefully, a few of these WILL see life breathed into them uninterrupted. We shall see...

So many characters and so little time - sad but true, I'm afraid. Still, this is a colourful and cracking group shot of you and your creations, and it's great to see some very familiar faces once again.

Yay! More Boanna! She hasn't been in another one of her artworks in more than a year!

As a fellow artist with not nearly enough time in the day to devote to all his ideas, I can relate

Thanks bud! Though from what I can see, you still have plenty of motivation with your current projects and characters of late, so don't worry about that
