HEYO :D
It's my birthday today
I am 17 years old !!
I really had a year full of surprises !!
And Newgrounds has played a very important role for me !
I'm so happy to be able to start developing a small community that appreciates what I do, it makes me really happy.
And for that I will always be grateful to you, thank you everyone.
I had a pretty hard start to the school year, I came out of a very difficult period due to many family problems and other personal problems.
I had very dark thoughts, I got angry very often, I isolated myself enormously, and I cried for the smallest things. My ability to socialize, which was already rather poor, deteriorated enormously.
I remember around March, I couldn't take it anymore and I needed to express myself through art, I had never really done illustrations before, and I found myself doing "The Big crazy bloody labyrinth"
I didn't do any sketches, or compositing (which I do now!) or anything, I did it all in one go, making sure to make sense of every detail of the piece (I colored everything in black before drawing everything with the eraser only).
And it made me very proud, it had been a long time since I had been so happy.
So I continued to draw and do illustrations, I discovered many people on this site, other incredible artists who encouraged me and pushed me to do my best. And then I had more and more followers, and I know it all sounds silly, but it's the first time in my life that I've been recognized for what I do. Even if not by many people. And that makes me overjoyed.
So thank you for all the people who have supported me and who continue to support me.
It gave me confidence in myself and made me feel much better.
These past few months have been the happiest of my life. I mean it when I say that. And this site has a lot to play for.
It also led me to share my work elsewhere, which introduced me to even more great people.
Thanks @0roshi,
(we know in real life ah ah) You are an amazing friend and thank you for being there when I needed you, and cheering me on all this time. Thanks @TheJudddman For being so nice to me.
You are one of the first to have followed my work and I will always be grateful to you (yes I had another account before, I would prefer that we forget it XD) I really like chatting with you ah ah! Thanks @Folliesoffoster and @dogmuth-behedog
You were the first artists with so many followers who followed me, it made me very happy (and i love your works too, If I keep slipping so many details into the works, it's because I love the way you do it)
Thanks @FeverDev to be my friend, I would love to work with you one day. Your games are amazing.
Thanks @toyslasher, love your works too. Your style influenced me xD
Same for @Kotico, thank you too for all of your support ! ^^
Thanks @Peggiore, You are literally the one who scouted me, I will be forever grateful to you
Thank you so much @MeowMeowTaxi for all your adorable reviews, it's very nice of you to put up with people like that
Thanks @TartsGMD, your so adorable too,
Thanks @rexhastala I already told you, but I'm a fan of your drawings, I look forward to what you always do xD
Thanks @alrightrandy I'm glad you like my work and let's be friend ^^
I forgot to quote so many people, and I'm sorry I couldn't do everyone.
But thank you to all my followers, those who support me, and who will continue to support me !
Also sorry for not being as productive as all the great artists listed above. I always try to give meaning to my drawings and to express myself through them, it's important for me to favor substance over form even if it means that I'm not as productive and for that I 'm sorry about that!
Thank you again everyone, sorry for this very text, which many people will surely have read until the end xD (also sorry for my poor english)
