Okay. It's time for a big update, which also happens to be my
151st post. Even though 151 might be a small number compared 500 or 1000, I want to give gifts to some awesome people, and shoutouts to all the other amazing people who've made me welcome and have been an integral part of any improvement I've had as an artist and as a person here (well, I hope I've made some improvements anyway). So...
Here. We. Go:
First, I have a mew sprite that I've been working on. It's mostly here because I needed a Mew reference for my 151st post and I didn't want to wait until October 7th to post this (which is when a certain piece of art is released...). Directly below this paragraph, I have a gift for my awesome French tutor, spriting coach (she's literally the only reason the above sprite isn't hideous), and friend:
princessofmusic.
btw, I will respond to your PM soon! n_n
The next image here is a gift for
anto, who has been incredibly wonderful and helpful to me ever since I started doing art for the FP. Thank you for letting me bother you so much, answering all my stupid questions, teaching me how to use PS, and also for um... letting me know it was okay to mass tag all these people. :> I hope you like it.
Next, I have a little gift for
Cretacerus. I told you I would do it, and now I have. :>
The last "gift" (which was more of a request...) I have is for
nv. Thank you for letting me bother you all those times I did (and will continue to do). Let me know if you're satisfied with your request, btw.
Okay! Now for shoutouts! I guess I first should be for
Tikitik, who was the first person to comment on my art thread and was also super helpful in helping me navigate Media HQ, and
Bummer, who first approved me as an artist and subsequently nominated me for the Artist badge (which I still look at every day and marvel at the fact I have it). It also seems prudent to give a shoutout to
D_what, who was the first person to provide criticism here that I really felt help me improve as an artist. I also feel like I owe shoutouts to both
Jackii and
fx, who've both been amazingly lovely people to me (btw,
fx, I was planning a gift for you as well, but haven't finished it yet. I will get to it soon. I promise!). Another person deserving of a shoutout, I think, is
Infamy, who was the first person to actually request art from me. Also in need of shoutouts are
Reigaheres and
aXl, who were some of the first people I interacted with here when I participated in WAC (which, btw, is that ever going to happen again?).
Legofigure11 is also in need of a shoutout, I believe. Thank you for helping me out with the text issue that one time and being super lovely the rest. :> I also feel as though I ought to acknowledge the people, even though we may not have interacted all that much, who have said things about my art that really meant a lot to me:
wishes,
antemortem,
Take Azelfie,
vzxt,
Integer Mova, and
ChrystalFalchion. I'm sure there are so many more people in need of recognition, but I'm typing this quickly and my memory is failing me. If I forgot you and you feel like you should be in this list, I'll include you as soon as I can. At any rate, I wish I had the time to make everyone I mentioned a gift. Perhaps I'll get around to it someday. :)
Also, if you feel it's odd I tagged you because we don't really know eachother, I just wanted to give you a shoutout because I feel some amount of gratitude toward you for whatever reason.
At any rate, here is the some FP stuff:
This one is for
Kris and
baconbagon's article:
(BAN ME PLEASE): A Look Back at the Bans in STABmons. The image on the right is a previous version that didn't go into the article because Skiploom
is apparently not terribly good in STABmons...
Next, I've also got this image:
This one is for Dream Eater Gengar's article on 1 v. 1. Read it!
Next up is an image I did for erisia's article: Paint the Town Red: A Retrospective on Smeargle.
Finally, I've got an image I'm particularly proud of for ChrystalFalchion's article on one of my favorite mons: Suicune! Go Read it!
Okay, I lied when I said finally. I actually have one more thing I did for FB.
I think that's about it for now. I hope everyone I tagged knows how grateful I am to them. n_n
