A Thank you 2015 WIP

Welp

either I'm overly sentimental, a huge derp or cried with mark over his beautiful subscribers but something today made me think, and think I did.

There are some moments in life which we must capture and hold on to, sort of in the moment, to remember and keep remembering for the rest of our lives. The future is always an uncertain path, but we are the ones who choose to forge our own and it is we who choose what to take with us along said path. 

Today was my final day of being in high school (no more hiding my age haha) and it awes me how fast the. 12th year went by! But ...alongside this, after sleeping because I wasn't feeling well and sitting down at my computer I drew a blank...but one which made me remember something very important. For the two. (Almost three) years of being on deviantart I remember where I started and how fast I've grown in this buzzing and sometimes dangerous community.

this image I drew to commemorate a some moment in time, one simple moment of sleepy thought that I cherished and stayed up till. 1am to make for every single one of my watchers, idols, friends, and simple deviants who chanced upon my humble page. To my watchers : I can't thank you all enough for your love, care, support, appreciation and most of all patience. As I go further into the real world I realize it's hard without time management and carrying responsibilities to their completion nothing can be achieved, and with recent stresses and the usual teen hormonal things and changes it's been a wild ride for me. I can't thank you all... Well majority of you...enough for understanding, for being patient and for giving feedback so that I can get through life without having to fall back on stupid depression. The idols and friendships I've made over this whole time I can only hope will last, because they mean something special to me, and though I may not know these talented and amazing individuals personally it is my honour to have talked to many of them and to have learned from them be it how to pixel, how to make a species, how to be mindful of the online community or plainly how to find ones self artistically...I've never been more appreciative in my life for anything but the experiences I've had here on DA.

many say the community is dying, many stories about painful incidents and chargebacks have been unravelled before my eyes, many idols leave to other sites where I can't reach them and so on and so forth. BUT if there anything DA should be congratulated for is for bringing amazing artists together, for allowing an environment to make friends, make mistakes and start over if need be. A place for artists, a nice introduction to business in the arts and a community for of inspirations.

So thank you, all of you who have dealt with me up till now, I can promise you I am doing my best to fix my mistakes, be responsible, grow in skill and hopefully...I really hope I do anyways...make you happy, because that it my main goal here on DA: to make people happy via art.

Thank you! Here 's to the future and to hope that I won't disappear uuu.
