Hello~ I'm glad to welcome you on Deviantart)
As a part of DA community, I can give you some tips to start your activity here, if you don't mind ^^
It seems you
familiar with the group system that helps to promote arts. It's a nice choice to create your own groups, but I recommend to show your works also in other groups that dedicated to original characters and digital art
Also there is a good way to find new friends and watchers - to fave other's people works, give them llamas and watches. Here are watch and llama for you to celebrate your arriving here.
I hope you will have great time on Deviantart! Have a nice day~ ^^
