Life Change Step forward Accept my place Face my role Do not take from Me the ground I stand on For it shall No doubt mean That I face Death
I'd like to take a moment to note a few individuals that have had a profound affect on my life and development as a person. In two months I have reached well beyond the limitations I had unknowingly placed upon myself. If ever I could say that I have friends, these few transcend that simple word. They grace me with their presence and I am awe struck. If any deserved to devour my still beating heart, it would be these who I admire and grow to adore.
Someone who manages to keep a smile on my face for the better part of every single day. I admire him as a writer because of the amazing tales he weaves with ease, and I am stunned by his artistic exploration that still humbles me by the ease in which he produces such lovely work.. Never have I met such a chivalrous and selfless person as he. My day wouldn't be the same without exchanging at least a few words with him which always seem to put the breath back in my lungs. He is truly a hero with the fiercest of hugs and deserves far more than he currently receives.

Heartgrinder I hadn't been to NewGrounds in a decade or so but SolidMars told me to head there to see if I could solve my music blight. I scoffed. Once I got there I went straight for Electronic- Industrial and clicked TheHeartgrinder because the name drew my attention above all others. What happened afterward I can only describe as the most unifying experience of my life. Not only did I find his music completely entertaining but I also discovered that he was one of the few talented people who took the time to reply, in depth, back to me. I think we both wow'd one another. I am extremely inspired by him, and more. Not to mention how completely envious I am of his ability to doodle with a sharpie. There are no words sometimes so I simply drool, grin, and nod.
This extremely well worded man stumbled upon me and refused to leave me to my own devices and vices. Commenting on my literature so frequently he caught my attention. At first I was totally thrown off, I mean, no one has ever spent so much time ripping apart my words to find their meaning. Not even I do that. However, the dark pit I had slipped into became abruptly brilliant with the light of his insight and he tugged me a safe distance away from the horizon of my own self destruction. What he does reaches far beyond the realm of human capability. He is truly, self deemed and I completely acknowlege, a protector of that which deserves being cherished and saved. I admire him beyond words.
This wonderfully twisted mind is akin to my own, at least that's how I feel. Her words tend to be so very straight forward, short, yet she crams a precise point into them more often than not. I am inspired by her darkness and her ability to weave webs with her words. What I'd describe as blunt force trauma to my mind after reading her poetry, and it's one of the best experiences I've ever had. I don't tend to read poetry or literature in general by other deviants but this is one writer I am deeply pleased to indulge in.
With an imagination possibly more active than my own I find myself smiling ear to ear while visiting her gallery. Sure, most people probably won't see what I see when I'm there but for me her gallery is a whimsical place full of story and narrative based upon a fixed range of characters. Not only is she brilliant, she can make me smile just seconds after messaging me. Her literary works have really surprised me and I feel honored to be gifted with her wit and charm so often.
A few more deviants that inspire me to express myself and share myself in ways I didn't think I wanted to. I enjoy their work and talent to extremes. ===== =====
Thanks for continually inspiring me to crawl from my cave once in a while. Don't be hurt if your icon isn't here, it doesn't mean that I watch you (or you watch me) for no reason. There are far too many people I watch to list them all. Anyone could open the list of arists I watch and most of them would be inspiring in one way or another. These artists, however, are the sore thumbs in my mind and heart. These artists paint with words and images new planes upon my existence. These are people I think of when I think about dA and how long I've been here.

If you have any questions, need any tips, or have any requests feel free to ask. I'd like to consider myself one of the few artists who attempts to comment back to any and all messages I get.
Resources I do not require any specific credits for gradients other than an icon link to me. I just want other people to know where the gradients came from. If you want to note me with use of these gradients, I would LOVE to see your work and +FAV it!
