(Late) Greetings…
3 years ago
General
Hello… I don’t really know how to say this (especially considering I haven’t sent a message or even left a single comment in the few years I’ve been on the site). I don’t know how I’ve managed to go all this time without even attempting to talk to anyone or let alone even introduce myself.
So… I am Nine, I guess I’ve finally taken the time to do this (it's been LONG overdue for a while now). It never even occurred to me that I should have made this effort until recently, and I first and foremost wish to apologize… I am a quiet type of person, I don’t tend to go out of my way to talk to others mostly because I don’t desire interactions, I don’t want to disappoint anyone nor do I mean to be rude by not acknowledging that I have read someone’s message (I do read all the messages from comments and notes). I guess I felt that since I have gone a long time without responding to anyone I thought that it would be weird to respond to someone all of a sudden when a lot of people have been messaging me beforehand…
I understand that I have no excuse for not responding to any comments or messages that have been sent my way. But in recent days I have made the realization that I should be trying to improve myself as a person not only for the sake of others… but also for myself…
When I originally created my account and posted my earlier projects, it was more of an experiment, just out of curiosity… I thought that I would just fizzle out and fade into nothingness, but I guess that probably won't happen for a little while yet. I have spent some time looking back at some of my original submissions and reflecting on how much I have improved not only in drawing/coloring, but also in storytelling (yes, I tend to spend an equal amount of time both on creating the image and typing out a story)… I have a busy life and can only get so much done drawing, and with that said I don’t always feel like making progress with drawing, and so I began typing out stories to go with the projects (once again because I was bored…). But with that said, the stories are but a little bonus and I get the feeling most people might overlook them because I tie it with the drawing under one submission (I don’t see the point in making a separate ‘story submission’ when I can include it in the description). I apologize if my English comes across as a little weird at times…
This leads into my next statement, with this just being a form of a hobby, it was never my intention to make any money or deal with trades or commissions (due to me being an introvert). I just like spending my free time on something that others may enjoy looking at or reading about. Over time I have been sent requests to work on projects, and some I have taken into account when deciding on future projects, but in a way, I actually enjoy the freedom of choosing my own projects, it gives me the chance to try out different types of subject matter and themes. Recently I tried my hand at letting the audience (AKA you) influence what type of project I would work on through a ‘YOU CHOOSE’, and I was rather impressed with how well it worked out (it helps me understand my target audience for the project a little bit better). One can expect more ‘YOU CHOOSE’ to be coming later in the future (hopefully with more options). I am satisfied with how I have improved (especially considering I haven’t set my mind to it since my grade school/high school years)...
Coming down to my final point, I understand that I have done projects based on strange, weird, and naughty subject matter. I understand the negative comments and I DO NOT want people arguing in my defense (even though it is a decently nice thing to do), I don’t wish for someone else to be in the cross-hair, and this goes both ways. I have tried my hand at a variety of different types of subject matter. I am of the opinion that if you have a problem you can tell me and I will try to make a QUICK fix…
I suppose this is a bit of a prattle for an introduction (if it still indeed has a meaning)… I believe that I have stated all that I have needed to address. I will attempt to put in an effort to update with a little more information about myself at some point along the way…
(Oh, and just a little heads up, I am still in a 'sweet toothed' mood. So those that enjoy candy and CHOCOLATE can rejoice)...
Have a somewhat wonderful day, and hope to share more with everyone SOON…

I'm glad that you took the time to write out a full journal to introduce yourself. I've been a fan of your work since you've started posting and am really glad to get to know you a little bit better. You do very cool/weird stuff and I really, [i]really[/i] enjoy it because it's so out there and unique.
I can understand if you're a bit shy about interacting because of the nature of the subject matter you post. I post similar things and for a number of years worked behind various alts, often deleting them shortly after. Being a introvert as well didn't help when posting such things.
Feel free to drop a line and "shoot the shit" so to speak. I'd love to chat ;3
