Hello, buddy.

Yes, I am new and an amateur one in this community.

I heared about Devian Art in the past, but never interested in investigate what kind of site it was, until now.

First of all, I must to say: thank you very much for the welcoming message, for the receivement, cause I realized that this is an enourmous place to dive for and I don't know how to start.

I must confess that I started by buying a stylus pen for my tablet and for my cellphone and then I was brought here by a suggestion made by the last one, I mean via the autodesk sketchbook app for android, when it challenged me to make a draw of a song that I like very much.

I made a quick mental representation of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb song and I signed in to DA to post it, and now I know that I can do interactions with some other people and post my and jobs, projects, to show them to the community, and to the world.

Sincerely, I didn't put really big efforts in any of those two drawings that I posted, and now that I looked at them again I have a rare feeling like "I must eliminate those sh*t things", but "piano piano", now, and at this point of my life (I am 30 years old), and knowing that I always have been an artist from the deepest part of my being, I realized that it is a nonsense to hide my art and I am tired to be a "maniac obsessed with perfeccionism" person who doesn't show his work to the world for reasons as "it is not well enough" or "I am ashamed of it, and must destroy it now" and similar ideas.

My wife always says to me that I am very critic with my art (I also compose music, and write, but, until now, she and me are the only ones that knows my works) and that I am a fool by keeping it in secret seeking for perfection cause the perfection doesn't exists, so...Well, so I realized that she has the reason. She and my brothers, and my mom, and my job colleagues, and my ffriends and my boss, and so and so, all of them who bases his opinions in little quick sketches that discovered without my permission or that I considered trivialities made in boring circumstances (in a job meeting, in job place's aniversary party decorations, in packaging a gift for a friend, etc).

So, to respond to your question:

My interests in art are not really defined by a category, I believe.

I like many kind of jobs and artists, from Boticelli to Giger or Rembrand to Miró, or from Alex Grey to Ciruelo, etc. I like fantasy, horror, sci-fi, bio-mechanics, journeys, adventures, as topics; landscapes or portraits, as themes and digital drawing, sketch and painting to oil or frescos as technics, amongs many other things, so I have a little problem with making a definition of my preferences.

But, obviously, I do more conection with for some works, and generally those are the ones that (for me) feels more "realistic", if we can say...you know what I mean?

The realism is a thing that I have never reached in any of my works, maybe because it takes more patience and time, and surelly detallism, and I feel that I haven't got any of that (it's a funny thing), so I admire (and a little I envy) those ones that can do it that kind of jobs.

And for finishing my long and boring reply, I will tell you that I hope to post some other works in the future, but I must to say that they not necessarely will be related each other, yet in technicaclly or thematically form.

Greetings.
