I've just noticed today that it's been over four years that I've been a member of deviantART. Though there have been ups and downs, good and bad moments, I feel that overall it's been a great experience that allowed me to make new friends and meet interesting people, as well as improving me as a person. Making "art" (I don't really consider myself much of an artist) made me a bit more sensitive and changed the way I look at life sometimes.
With that in mind, I decided to post in this journal entry the five pieces of art that I consider were my best attempts over these past four years. Even though they might not look so good, or maybe not instill deep feelings on whoever gazes upon them, I hold them close to my heart for whatever meaning they have to me. So, ready or not, here we go!
5. An Opening in the Clouds
This was my first work submitted to this website. It really got me excited about DA because after 2 hours it had been faved and received a couple or more comments. That made me realize the great and powerful community that lurked within DA, and motivated me to submit more artwork in the hopes of more comments and favorites.
4. GP2X
One of my few ventures into pixel art, this is a representation of one of the coolest portable video games ever made, the GP2X, which I happen to be the proud owner of a unit. The level of detail in this is pretty good, and I'm convinced that it is one of the best pixellizations of this video game ever made (granted, there aren't many around).
3. Of longing and loneliness
This is the only piece of writing I ever submitted to deviantART. Funny thing is it was supposed to be just a background for another deviation, but it turned out better than I expected. It also happens to sum up most of my love life pretty well, and I'd be lying if I said this isn't part of the reason it's in my top 5 list.
2. On the road again
The reason why this got so close to being number one is a pretty subjective one. Even though I do consider it one of the best photos I've ever shot, technical and artistic achievement isn't really why it's here. It's here because it reminds me of one of the best experiences in my life so far, the trip I made to the U.S..
1. The Skyline Legacy
Yes, you should have seen this coming. This piece has been my featured deviation for well over a year, and it seems only fair that it remains there. Not just because it's my most viewed and faved work, but as a tribute to this great car I've come to love so much.

And that concludes this week's nostalgia attack. Time to get back to FFVIII to start another one. And if you haven't already, do what the footer says will ya?
