In honor of my 10th dA anniversary in May, I thought, "Well, this is some really bad timing!"

I didn't even realize I had been on dA ten years till just recently. So, I decided to commemorate the milestone with a special (belated) "10x10" deviation - basically, taking the ten best deviations (as in most popular, most significant, or personal favorite) from each of my ten years here, in one gigantic retrospective. Then, I realized that by 2015, my dA activity had begun dropping significantly, and never quite recovered . . . evidently, I only submitted one deviation for the entire year of 2016 . . . well, so much for that.

I have enjoyed my years on dA, though . . . maybe not as much in recent years as I had in years past, but it's been a fun outlet to create and share fan art, memes, and other similar junk, not to mention getting involved in some really great (albeit, occasionally toxic) fandom communities. And, of course, discovering other amazing and talented artists out there: some of whom I already knew prior to dA (and came here at their urging ), some whom I've gotten acquainted with here on dA, and some whose friendship has continued beyond the confines of dA. I see that very few of them are actually still here, though - a lot either haven't been on in years, or have completely jumped ship altogether - but, nevertheless, because you guys played such a significant part in making these past ten years on dA so special (and/or I just really, really admire your work, and may not say it enough), I wanted to give a shout out to all of you:
and anyone else I may have unintentionally left out - love ya guys!

Lastly, I have one more closing remark: eff you, deviantART, for compressing and distorting all of our older deviations! Who do you think you are, Photobucket?!
