Just a little thank you <3

Welp. I'm quite a while on Toyhouse now. And my OCs became more and more over time. I think it's time to thank some awesome people, because without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. So yeah, here we go! Storytime!

Back, when I started making OCs, I always wanted them to be drawn by others. I would never ask for requests tho. I knew people didn't like that much. Instead, I just made them, hoping somebody would draw them because they were good enough. But almost nobody did that. And my self-esteem was pretty low. And I also began to hate my art and my characters. I was on amino, and some of you might know it's not the most peaceful site on the internet. I got hate for my OCs being too plain, too edgy and too boring. And it tore me apart. Every single day.

But then, one day, a friend of mine posted something in their Story. A little website called "Art Fight", where people drew characters of others and got art of their own characters. I was fascinated by this concept and it was like a dream coming true for me. And so, I started drawing, almost every day I would post something in this event. I was so determined to get art. And when I joined the art minigames of the server in January 2019, I began drawing even more! Hell, I sometimes drew more then 3 pictures in one day! In the beginning, I did this because I wanted to get art. But my wishes and my attitude changed so much while being in there.

I still had a lot of trouble with my art style and my characters being "not good enough" thanks to my past. I even had times where I was jealous of others, and I regret those phases so much. But over time, especially when the new season of Art Minigames started, I changed so much. I began drawing not for myself, but for other people. I began being happy when people loved what I drew for them. I wanted to give them something fitting to their character, because I understood every single OC deserves love. I stopped my sometimes hateful thinking, and became more open-minded. Neon Rainbow Characters? Gimme, I'll draw them!! OC X Canon? Absolutely! And then, I started to break my own strict rules, making OCs which would be considered as "cringy" by some people. But I started to not give a damn. I was happy. And even my art developed because I drew on a daily basis. While I was switching art styles for years, I began to have a constant style for now 1 month, which is pretty long for me tbh. And now, people show their love for my art and it makes me smile bright like an idiot and just blush like crazy. I'm building up slef-confidence slowly, but constantly. And I know, that I love my OCs. And others seem to like them as well!

So yeah. A big thank you to the Art Fight Community. A huge special thanks go out to Aika (One of the first people I met there, who still supports me to this very day!), Clear (Whenever they can, they compliment my art, and they're just so kind and nice!), Lucius (The awesome person trying to revenge me whenever they can and reverse. Also, they support my OC X Canon ships and it makes me filled with joy!), Ko (Their cute art gets me every time! Also, they helped me out, when I had trouble with an design!) and ofc my Friends Lisy (Who is currently drawing an claim for me, if you read this, Hey :D) and LisaLischen, who introduced me to this awesome community. I love you all and I hope you all stay awesome <3 Ok, enough emotional talking, I'll continue taking a small break. I drew 6 pictures today heh ;w; See ya!
