DeviantArt Birthday

Today is my first dA-birthday - time has run so fast, it feels like I created this account just another day...

However, many things have happened. I started with photography and now I am mostly a photomanipulator. I did my first real manipulations last December, inspired by Iardacil's breathtaking creations and Iardacil-stock's great material. It's hard to believe that now I have over 19,000 pageviews and 400 watchers.

I have improved a lot during this year - thanks to all the wonderful artists here in dA. I've learned so much while looking other people's creations and the quality of their amazing artwork never ceases to impress me. After all, I really want to thank all the commentators, watchers and visitors - and especially those who have continuously supported me during this year. I really appreciate your kindness and feedback! Thanks for showing interest in my art.

In My Life

It's been busy week, I've had a lot of work to do while arranging my graduation party and dealing with other daily matters. However, some news again.
Last weekend we had another taekwondo competition - the last one for this year. I did quite well in spite of some injuries until I got kicked in the head in my final fight. I couln't continue the competition so I lost the last fight and was placed second. Pity, another gold medal would have been nice...

I also had to go to the hospital - the kick in the head wasn't that bad but I had managed to hurt my right hand and foot as well. Luckily anything didn't fracture, they're just feeling sore... Another lucky thing is that we are soon having a Christmas break in taekwondo so I can heal myself in peace.
I think that was all... Thanks for showing interest in my latest piece, Pendulous Fall! I haven't had much time to do manipulations lately so I'm glad you liked it.

Love and best wishes,
Iribel

Here are my favourite features for this week. There were so many wonderful pieces of art I came across this week so it was really tough to choose only a handful of them. Check them out!
