Naruto Xmas - 10 YR Anniversary!!

10 years ago TODAY I uploaded my Naruto Xmas picture to dA. (and on a TBT, no less!)

I had no idea it would end up going viral and being recognized at every convention I had a table at. Hearing people say, "YOU made that? I had it as my desktop/on my wall/on my phone for years!!" 
That gave me the confidence to start taking my artwork and digital toolset knowledge seriously. Now, I have a great career in the advertising world hat somehow all started taking off with this one piece of fanart. 

To be honest, I'm not 100% about this new piece, but I wanted to get something up today to commemorate the last 10 years and say thanks to all the dA people that have offered encouragement, critiques, and commissions over the years. dA is a great place that has so much to offer the art world. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 10.
