I still can't believe that i got the deviousness award for the month of October and I can still remember when bradleysays tagged me on Facebook, sharing the link of the article and my mom was so shocked when she heard me scream with glee, big time! And special thanks to fourteenthstar and to the deviatART staff for believing in my efforts and passion.
Take a look at Thiefoworld's interview too! 
During my first days as a volunteer, there was certainly a learning experience on my part, when i featured one deviation that started to spread like wildfire and I even got hate messages because of that. But really, im not turning my back on that particular event but like what i said, it's such a learning experience for me, especially as a Community Volunteer.
DeviantART has become a great part of my life. I've met lots of good friends here and some became my great and one of the best friends. Not only that it led me to meeting new people from different places, beliefs and traditions, but deviantART has also helped me grew as an artist. Im happy to tell you that i started my humble beginnings here, especially with Digital Art.
Im really happy that with my early stay here, i got lots of feedbacks and messages and i can say that it helped me to improve as an artist. And deviantSURVIVOR has been a great help for me too! Being in the first season has marked my activeness here and i met lots of great friends there and submitted a bunch of artworks per month. Im a bit sad that it's not running now, but i hope they will be up again soon
I even got the chance to share my literature pieces here, though i have to admit that i am never a pro at writing and that this is more of a hobby, submitting lit pieces has never been a hindrance to me for sharing my thoughts here:
DeviantART boosted my confidence for myself, and it is constantly reminding me to let my feet stand on the ground.
Going through the site everyday and as being a DD Suggester myself, i get to see hidden pearls within deviantart. Going through the galleries and favourites of the members here, i was able to see lots of talents, inspirations and styles that really caught my taste and that gave me a wide range of ideas especially when I nailed myself to illustrations.
Here are some of my artworks from the early years
Some of you knew that I wanted to become a story book illustrator too, and after graduation, i met the Audacese team who is helping me reach my dreams atm. I started working with them 5 months ago and they are making excellent efforts so far in helping us squeeze creative juices and their support is brilliant! that's right! I met them here and they are already a big part of my life, because they make sure that I am growing as an artist too, so thank you guys!
And at this moment, I present to you jcroxas after my 4 years of stay here
And most importantly, THANK YOU for making my stay here even more wonderful!
and special thanks to my family for all their support, trust and care.I love you all!
xoxo,
Jude
