Yes, that was the first thing I yelled out this morning when I nearly had a heart attack when I realised I got nearly 2000 new messages overnight...which is about 1990 more than I usually get in the same time period. I cannot describe how grateful I am to recieve such an honour....and In less than two weeks before my birthday too, what a great gift ! I have sooo long wanted to be on the front page and man did it help out. And it's all thanks to You guys. To give an impression on the power of a DD, I'll give You this comparison...

Before the DD, I had somewhere in the mid 2000 pageviews, thats all collected over a period of a year and a half. In one day. when I logged in I had just over 5000 and by the time I finished checking all the messages hours later, I broke the 6000 mark...
Before, my most popular deviation was "Stranded" with about 70 favourites. But "High rise" ended up skyrocketing to the mid 700s and by the time I checked all my messages, It had gained nearly 300 more...
Before the DD, I had just got my 50th watcher a few days ago, now I have over 160 of them...
And as for the comments, well that was undescribable. I still cant believe I read every single one, Yep it's true. If You take the time to comment then the least I can do is read it. All comments are appreciated even if I didn't reply. In fact I logged in at 10:00 am and by the time I checked all of the comments and most of the favs, it was 4:30 pm. I wish I could have thanked all those who faved and watched me but viewing around 2000 pages in one day ( with slow internet ) is virtually impossible. So it's easier to thank You all here!

Well without pushing my boasting too far, I was going to update my journal anyway to inform You guys that it has become really obvious in whats hot and whats not in my gallery. I don't need anyone to tell me that my landscapes and space scenes are the best with fan-art ( another common category in my gallery ) trailing far behind in quality. So I decided to reduce how often I do fan-art and spend more time doing what people are here for. with the exeption of one to be submitted soon thats already completed...And yes plenty more floating islands to come.

And special thanks go to :iconnighty: and :icongucken: for showing that good things take time...But great things happen all at once !

Thats the best part, more than half of my watchers I currently have found me through it. A DD is more than a day in the spotlight, it does wonders for who earned it over the long term.
