Art I did for mine and Spoctor Theory’s collab!

I’m a little nervous about posting this here coz its going to be quite a bit of personal stuff being said, and I know that sort of thing is frowned upon so I apologise but this is something ive wanted to get off my chest for a while now so here goes.

I’m going to admit… These past few months have been the best in my entire life and I am the happiest I ever have been for years.

About 6-7 months ago, I was extremely miserable and listless, no confidence in myself, no confidence in my art; i actually hated drawing coz i was so demotivated, and drained of energy because of the dead end job I was in at the time. I didn’t even want to get out of bed half the time, that’s how crappy I felt.

But now I’m a lot more positive about things , have much better self confidence, I’m hell of a lot more happier with my art and actually WANT to draw, and i have a job that has a promising future and it never gets boring once. I have a few people/groups to thank for this and I’m going to list them below with reasons why (going clockwise from the drawing but saving the actual first one of them til last :P)

1. FNAF fandom - Now some of you may groan at this, but this was the first ‘proper’ fandom i was in back when it was super popular, and it was real good fun and i felt accepted! Most of them are lovely people and its got some pretty sweet artwork.

2. Jacksepticeye - This loveable Irish bean is so energetic and positive regardless of how he feels and i respect him so much for that and his content is always entertaining and keeps me company sometimes when I’m home alone or finishing work early, kind of tried to ‘adopt’ his mentality from him (in terms of being more positive not screaming at games lol) The community for the majority is super nice and friendly almost all the time too!

3. Itsmellslikehonor and his fans/subs - This awesome guy is really cool Youtuber, despite being mainly FNAF related and GMOD content, but he always finds time play with his fans and subs on GMOD and that’s really awesome, and its so much fun! It keeps me company whenever I feel lonely at night too, takes my mind off things. If you’re a BIG FNAF or GMOD fan I’d recommend subscribing to him :)

4. FinestElite, Pocket-the-time-lord, and Xiamtheferret - These amazing artists are the main reason I took up drawing again, their individual and unique art styles are so inspiring and motivating and they’re all really nice people too, go follow them if you’re not familiar with them already! FinestElite is both on Tumblr and FA (his FA is FinneyFox though I believe) Pocket-the-time-lord has Tumblr as well, and Twitter (by the name @lpsoneill) and Xiamtheferret has FA (don’t know about anywhere else)

And finally, each and every single person on the Amino groups I’m a part of, specifically the Furry Amino. The communities are so welcoming and supportive, and everyone’s art and I MEAN everyone’s is really good and inspiring to look at! When I made my first post about requests on the Furry Amino I was seriously shocked and completely overwhelmed over the amount of responses I got within a day of posting it, I wasn’t even expecting to get 1 person asking let alone 10-20! And the compliments I got from people really made me feel like my art mattered and it’s given me the encouragement I needed to draw at a more consistent basis.

To wrap this all up, I don’t think I can ever say this enough; Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Each and every single person/group I’ve mentioned mean the absolute world to me for getting my life to a point to where I’m actually happy with it. Honestly, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
