I don't even know if any active accounts still follow me, but if you do, hello! 
I started this account in May of 2010 when I was 13 years old. I'm 22 at the time of writing this and a lot has changed.
deviantArt was a huge part of my early teenage life and helped me in discovering my identity and who I am. In 2011 I had some select very bad experiences in life and dA was like a personal haven to me where I could be myself and talk to my friends. 2011 was also the year I started going by "Marty" due to my love of the Back to the Future series and wanting to disconnect from my birthname Emily, which I hated at the time. Around late 2011 into 2012 I started to think I was a trans boy, and struggled with my identity well up until about 2016. I came to terms with the fact that I was still feminine and enjoyed being a cis girl, though it wasn't easy getting back to that. But now that I'm happy with who I am, I feel like it's time for me to return to deviantArt to try and make new friends again.
My art hasn't improved on the same scale as a lot of other people my age because I don't draw very often, (literally only a handful of times a year will I actually sit down and finish anything, I have a lot of other hobbies such as music and writing that I attend to) but I'm finally beginning to learn how to have fun with drawing for the first time since I was a little kid. It finally doesn't feel like a chore.
Anyway, this was pretty directionless. Thank you to all those of you who have been my friends on this site especially if you interacted with me regularly, even though I don't quite remember all of you I know for sure you've definitely had an impact on me as a person. If you're looking to reconnect, my new account is OudKee
! I'll try to be online a bit more regularly.
Probably no one will see this, but if you're here, thank you for reading this far.

Emoticon Language Project!
2 min read
Hi everyone!
I know I haven't been active in the emote community since earlier this year, but I've definitely had a bit of practice in colouring techniques, and I think I may be ready to get back into pixel art again!
As most of you may or may not know, I absolutely love languages, and the idea of communicating by different word structures.
Therefore, with the help of emoticons, I'd like to put together lessons to help others learn the basics of different languages!
Even though I know a few words from roughly 15-20 different languages (such as Chinese, Spanish, Polish, Korean, etc), the only four I know the basics of are Japanese, Estonian, German, and Russian. So, if any of you would be interesting in helping out with other languages or supporting other idea to the project, feel free to note me or leave a comment on this journal!
PS: Feel free to visit my new chatroom!

My artist buddy, Karl, who've I've been friends with for about a couple years now, recently remade her deviantART account! She's a fantastic traditional+digital artist but doesn't have as many watchers as she did on her old account due to her remaking. 
You guys should drop by her page and give her some points or watches! I bet she'd really appreciate it!

Whoa there

yeeeeee haww!!!!!!!!!! Even though I haven't really been active since what, February? Somehow I've managed to reach over 200 watchers. Cool.
I'm cleaning all (or at least most of) my art out of this account so that I can sort of start over. I'll probably never go back to pixel or emoticon work, but I might keep drawing. Who knows. I pretty much do what I want, lol.
So, how are you guys? I haven't talked to anyone on deviantART in like 3975693659 years, and I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot.
