Hello everyone, this is James Stephens aka StrickPlayer. When I first found this site it was very slow and laggy and it made me not want to ever go on this site. But as soon as I got a better faster computer, everything changed and i could truly enjoy this site. My first time really on this site was difficult I had to know exactly how the lingo and everything here works, but after sometime I got the hang of it. I started to comment and have conversations with a lot of great artist who actually have visit and faved my own work I've made in the past. I've even worked together with a few people who loved my stories I've made here on DA and they actually willing to help me turn these stories into actual works of art like portraits and comic pages. I have meet so many people on DA and I could be happier on any other site. Yes, there are the cons of having to deal with rude and hateful people here, but that's the Internet in general. Anyway, thanks to DA I have been able to express my creativity and ways I could only dream about and for that I thank you; my followers , my friends , and the people who created DA.
