I'm glad to hear you like it already.
If I could give you just a bit of advice on this website, it's that at the top of your window towards the left just next to your username, there's a letter envelope. If you click on that it'll show you all of your messages/notifications you've received. That way when you do respond to a message there, the other person gets a message saying that you did so. I wouldn't have noticed this message and the one replying to me on El Gecko Gordo had I not check back to see the other traffic you were getting.
Welcome to DeviantArt and keep up your good work; the rest will follow.
