Gratitude...

... Is what I feel towards all the people who keep motivating me, here on DA, by following, favoritizing and commenting on my pieces. I do this stuff on my sparetime, but it is much more than a hobby. Expressing myself through art is what keeps me anchored in a feeling of selfworth and purpose. Recieving feedback and acknowledgement, in any shape or form, fuels me to throw myself into the next project. With your help I keep growing and getting better. For this I thank each and every one of you.

So... As a way to properly thank at least ONE of you, I am hereby announcing a small contest. The prize will be a digital portrait of the winner, something in the style of this one:
danielkarlsson.deviantart.com/…

In order to particapate, just choose your favorite piece in my gallery here on DA and write a little something about how the piece makes you feel and why it is your favorite. You can send your text directly to me either through DA or to my email: karlssonart@gmail.com
The benefit of this contest is, i guess, mostly for me as I'll hopefully get some very interesting and motivating texts.
Last date to send in a text is on the 6th of march, that give syou about two weeks.

Good luck!
