Happy 20 years of art!
Happy 20 (very belated) Birthday DeviantArt!!!
(Wow 20 years already?)
Artis Gives DeviantArt a warm 20th to all the years of wonderful amazing art. As she holds the symbolic pen of DeviantArt and the years of amazing artwork shoot out of the pen. All these years come together to celebrate 20 years of art and inspiration. In fact, Artis here happens to love DeviantArt and is even in awe about all the amazing creative colorful art that Devinatart has inspired, made, and shaped the artistic world. Artis is impressed (and she does not impress easily!) So Artis wishes a happy 20th birthday to DeviantArt and is amazed at all the wonderful art here and hopes to have another 20 more.
Though I no longer have an active gallery on there, DeviantArt (and all digital art in general) have forever changed the nature of visual art. Wow this was a labor of love here! It took over a month to complete this it was fun and worth it: it turned out perfect ! This is my first (and probably only) deviant birthday I have participated in ( and a very important milestone yay) and for this birthday challenge I was to recreate this artwork in my style. So to revise this in my style I though about the magic pen ,I'll call it, and it reminded me of my O.C.'s artistic powers. And I though who better to do this than Artis ! So Artis has here the DeviantArt digital pen that symbolizes DeviantArt as her magic pen. Which shoots out magic ink I call it that represents all the major events and works of art on DeviantArt, if you look closely you can see little pictures on the side of the ink branching out from the main ink that represent major events/icons of DeviantArt: The first one closest to the pen is the Digital Mona Lisa that is seen when you go to turn in art. It represents the first time DeviantArt became an art site(before I believe it was a "skin" site) and the beginning of the great artwork. The Next one is Fella the first and only DeviantArt mascot; the weird stylistic "Robot-Cat" (I really didn't know what he was before researching) that became the mascot of DeviantArt in about 2001. The Next one is a DeviantArt artists Emoji Which symbolizes the unique Deviant emoji's that can be so expressive: and are use in expressing artwork (I don't know when these were introduced so I just stuck it in). Next is the great and grand Llama badge that became a commonplace for badges as an April fool joke in 2010 and spread like wildfire. Next is the introduction of the New Deviant Logo it was the change from the old logo to this one in 2014 that became the modern logo. And finally there is the The Biting Pear of Salamanca to me the beginning of the quirky April fools challenges on DeviantArt. Where the challenge involved drawing this biting monstrosity in 2017. at the end of the magical pen's ink stream it forms the Birthday cake and balloons from the Celebration on the front of the 20 Birthday Challenge. They are drawn as a symbolism of a magical accumulation of the 20 years together formed by Artis. So this took a lot of though and symbolism but I could have not asked for a better revision and 20th birthday tribute, to me it's awesome!
