Geez! Who in their right mind would waste that much time to read these words that pop up when you hold your mouse over the picture? I mean, honestly? Oh wait... YOU are. llamaroll badge by CookiemagiK
Welcome! You have just entered the lair of Lateon, the Guardian of Crystoldia. My screen name is Vypor, but you may call me Lateon.
Please enjoy my work, cause I enjoyed making it!

Please do not ask me to watch you. I will only watch you if I consider you a good friend and/or I am impressed by your work.

Well here I am. I see people doing these and figure it'll be a fun thing to do.

I am Vypor, I joined DeviantART way back on May 14th, 2008 during my initial obsession with Latias and Latios from Pokemon.
Those were dark days when I actually enjoyed AMV's on YouTube from the Pokemon Heroes movie. Dark days indeed.
At least, till I matured enough to realize they were all exactly the same thing and were kind of a pointless waste of space.

However, many of those AMV's were simply the slideshow picture kind of vids. And I kept seeing them credited back to this mysterious "DeviantART" place.
Naturally, wanting more Lati content. I dropped by and enjoyed what I saw, and made an account. This account promptly went inactive for like 2 months or something like that because I had jack squat to put up here and hadn't even considered doing so.

That is till one day I pulled up MS Paint and used my master skills to craft this magnum opus.

Yes. Weep before its magnificence, peons.


Posted this and a backgroundless version and went to bed. Checked the next day, and 2 people had favorited it.
Someone.
Somewhere on the Earth, had favorited my picture.
:icongnarrplz:

Well obviously I was hooked then. It had never really occurred to me that I could really interact with people all over the world like that. I started drawing and sketching more, wondering if I could recreate something that people could enjoy.
And it was about that time that I was working on a hand-made Latias model.

It took several weeks of work, and I daydreamed the entire time. Whilst doing so, I created a simple story around Latias and the green and black Latios that was the subject of my MS Paint masterpiece.
It slowly developed, and little inklings kept running through my mind about how I might be able to write the story down. But I didn't know if I was any good at writing. The possibility of making something like that kind of scared me to be honest. Till I read another Latias fanfiction here on DA. (Which the author has since taken down sadly.)

Either way, it inspired me to write, and so I did. Shortly after, the little story, The Commission Chronicles was born.
The Commission Chronicles 1     Normality.
     I prefer to call it a choice, because I like to be different. Maybe that's why most of my friends are oftentimes five years younger than I am. Though it doesn't matter to me, I relate to them better than the popular people my age anyway.
     As a nineteen year-old, I prefer video games and LEGOs to skateboards and cars. But today I'll be putting aside my electronic entertainment devices in favor of some good old fashioned quality time with Mother Nature.
     At least I hope.
     Walking into the hallway with my bags packed, I hear mom and dad 'debating' at the other end of the house. I already know what it's about.
     “Chillax mom.” I stride into the hallway, trying to radiate some sort of confidence. “I got this.”
     “Do you?” She looks back, s


It was through my writing that I gained watchers, and friends. I realized as I wrote that this was a skill I did indeed possess. It was rough, and I can't even bare to read through that old story nowadays cause of how inexperienced it reads now. lol
Those times during its creation were the best of my days on DA. I regularly interacted with people, drew and practiced. Laughed and lost. Good times and bad, but I look back on them fondly regardless.
But it's what inspired me to create. I draw mostly now. But my writing isn't done yet. Not by a long shot. Even now I'm still planning several stories to write, only this time, they'll be books hopefully.

I'm not as active anymore, but I've started trying to draw more as well with my acquisition of a copy of Paint Tool Sai. (Which I highly recommend).

I strive to improve my skills artwise, despite my own legendary laziness and procrastination.

It certainly feels weird to look this far back.

DeviantArt was certainly a different place and my interests have fluctuated since, though I still fondly remember reading through your stories.

For some reason I'm not seeing anything I would have favorited, actually marked such anymore despite some of these old memories still being them.


I'm just glad you amongst others have left your old accounts open for others to browse for the occasional nostalgia, so thank you for that!
