I've been drawing for a very long time and I've been in dozens of fandoms. Before IY, my main hyperfixation was Dragon Age, and I poured HOURS into art and even a little fanfic over the course of two years for it to be met with just.....eh. Good job. And don't get me wrong, I definitely don't do art for clout, but it becomes a little discouraging when something that gives you joy and inspires you to create doesn't like.....encourage you, ya know?

Meanwhile I've been in the IY fandom for almost a year now and you guys constantly encourage not only me, but everyone else. This fandom has been so supportive and welcoming that it really does feel a bit like coming home. Since joining I've created more art than I ever have for anything else (over 500 fanarts and several fanfics) and not only have I been encouraged, but I've improved, and as an artist that's something that I constantly strive for. Sure, it's a TON of fanart, but I can take what knowledge I've gained by drawing Dog With Hands and turn around and apply it to something else.

If I ever felt like it 😂

(I used to HATE drawing hands but now I love them. As long as they have little claws at the end akdnamdmak)
