Sorry I'm replying only now, haven't been very active around here lately (I shall blame it on a certain game that came out recently, you know how obsession works...).
Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. I still have a lot to learn, but it's nice to hear that people like what I do, it's motivating. So thank you. <3
So you already had a Deviantart before... I kind of expected that, actually. When I saw your art, the style looked quite familiar, but I couldn't figure out if it was just me or if I indeed saw art from you before. You have no idea how hard it's been bugging me when I first saw your page, hahah. Still, I think I DID see art from you before, but I suppose it's been too long ago for me to remember exactly. Your old account might even be among the ones I'm Watching, but with 800+ in the list, that would be difficult to check it out... I don't even know if we ever interacted with each other back then, but if that indeed happened, I'm really sorry that my memory is failing me so bad.
But as you say, Deviantart is a nice place to be at, especially among artists, it's a good place for art talk here as it's a common interest. There are still some terrible people like anywhere else, but overall, I witnessed way less drama here than in places like Twitter and Tumblr. In any case, you sound like a sweet person, so glad to have you onboard.
