Hell yeah. There's no other way to put it. I'm starting my third(and final) year of Uni, and in the first 3 weeks I end up working on BotU more than I ever have. If that isn't enough I've now created ~TheBotUCollection, inspired of course by the great, kind and hilarious *ReapersRitual who gave me the advice and help I needed to get started. Really, this is all her fault. When I hand in my dissertation and it comprises of the lines 'Uh...forgot...uh Botu Collection nice tho...' I know who to blame.

Funnily enough though, I've really enjoyed creating the collection so far. People have been very postive (big thanks to all the artists who agreed to let me pilfer their sublime work) and I'm really beginning to warm to the community. My Da account has been very quiet, save for friends and so on commenting on my art, but over the last few days I've been commenting a lot more on people's work, and getting a very pleasant response. It's very rewarding in truth. Deviantart is now a permanent bookmark on my Firefox toolbar - I think it's there to stay.

I may be no artist, but it seems there's still very much a place for me in this community. And that's a nice feeling.

And really...since I found this gif, well...it really made my day.

It's just so...me.
