Tank-Dragon

I'm sorry i'm a bit late but I wanted to thank everyone for the birthday wishes I recieved, I got so many! Thank you for everyone taking time out of their day to wish me a Happy birthday, I had a great day, give our current situation xD

Thank you for the gifts too guys! you're so all awesome!

Well guys...this year hasn't been kind but now with DA Eclipse looming I feel like I should give a heads up to everyone where I am currently active and where you can keep in touch with me and my art incase everyone here decides to jump ship.
Now I AM STILL STAYING but I am deeply worried about DAs future :/

Also this is my first journal entry for this year lolz

Still an hour to go here in Ireland but I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Honestly 2019 has been a year of ups and downs this year.
On one hand I succeeded most of my goals I set last year...I bought my first car and achieved a full time job! Additionally I expanded the lore of my characters and world as well as built more model kits with plenty more to come in 2020.

On the other hand depression and anxiety and my apprehension for the future have been bad this year... but starting the new year on a positive note!

I visited Berlin this year too, took up reading, improved on my drawing, exercising alot more and im definitely noticed the physical difference from months ago

Goals for 2020
- Travel more (planning a trip to Florida for mums birthday and me and my friends are thinking Krakow for a week)

- Get back to game development (Ive a few game ideas I really want to try and get out there, even simple apps as I hear they can a fortune xD)

- Expand on my art skills (thinking of getting an drawing tablet with a screen...like an iPad pro)

- Start a YouTube channel ( thought about this all year and considering either ASMR videos are game montages, anyone interested?)

- Get back to learning Irish (Its been years since I was taught and it'd be nice to get back to languages)

- Read more (Started the Wings of Fire books and im loving them...but haven't touched them in weeks, gotta fix that and maybe read more)

Ok thats quite a list.. err I hope I can keep to them lol
What 2020 resolutions do you guys have?

Holy shit I just checked my old profile and as of the 2nd of December I have been on Deviantart for 10 years!

Look woah

Bais

Where does the time go....stahp!

My journey on here hasn't been that dramatic or interesting. I originally created an account called Eire41 www.deviantart.com/shay-tank-d… (later changed to Shay-Tank-Dragon in 2012) but I cteated my account to watch Shrimp and Shalonesks old Spyro comics back when they were still in the fandom

I wasn't actually heavily active until a year later in 2010 when I started to upload my first drawings and they were drawings of weapons and firearms lol
 2012 was a big year for me as I uploaded my first drawing of Shay and I was so proud of it xD 
I also uploaded a photo of my first model tank, the Revell Pzh 2000   the results speak for themselves xD
From 2013 onwards I began uploading more and more drawings of all my characters and continued to build more  ;D
I might upload an art dump of all my old drawings and models

Two years later in 2014 I created this account you see before you!
A year later I started drawing digitally with a Wacom Intuos tablet...still have it! From 2015 onwards the rest is history!

Also a huge shout out to some of the folks that became my first major friends on this site  
               

I can't even begin to list the many fantastic, incredible people on here who I have met since and kept me coming back to this site to view more art and chat when life in the real world got tough
You guys and many others have been with me for years and I really appreciate every one of you! Thanks for sticking round still x3
I certainly wont forget everyone of my friends I have met since and the many watchers I have gathered across 2 accounts for the past 10 years! 
This website has really changed my life! I've met some really incredible artists and friends that share my same interests and humour! <3
Thank you everyone for watching, favouring and commenting on my art and sticking by! It has helped me to improve and continue on my art and my model vehicle kits to where they are now! I really can't thank you all enough ^^


Ok I didn't mean for this journal to sound so cheesy but I generally meant every word
