Thank you so much everyone!
14 years ago
All I can say is thank you so much everyone! I never thought I would hit 1Million page views..... I truly appreciate the tremendous support and love that you all have given over the years. To celebrate the 1 Million page views, I wanna draw something special. Please give me some suggestions or ideas! You guys all rock so much!
On a separate note, I realize that I haven't been around as much as I used to. Life gets busy for us all and I am trying my best to balance work with play :P The last six months have been rather eye opening to me. My stress levels have gone down and my creativity has gone up. But my free time is pretty eaten up by work and RL obligations.....However I am gonna really try to start using my journals more, answering my notes as quickly as possible.....and just improving general communication all around.
And since we are on the topic of appreciation, I feel now is a good time to talk about how much I appreciate the authors in the fandom. Over the years I have seen just about everything you could imagine drawn in the furry fandom.....but the fandom isn't entirely about artists. Authors play a much bigger part in this fandom then I think we all tend to consider. The creative process that is required to come up with a story is truly a daunting one. I used to try writing out elaborate stories, only to find that it can be one of the more difficult things for the creative process. Not to mention my grammar is just terrible :P Recently I have been spending alot of time sifting through stories on FA and Sofurry and man ohh man I gotta say there are some amazing stories out there! Now, whenever I submit a picture, it is very rewarding to read all the comments. And trust me it helps ALOT, to know that what your doin is appreciated. I am really guilty of leaving comments and I want to change that.....But that being said authors really need your support too. Please take some time to leave comments for your favorite authors and let them know you appreciate their work! Some of the authors that I adore are:
auspher79 
roo5588 
Shiveneve 
Wyraachur 
MuleBoy 
TF_Writer
Tai1bulger 
RedDrake 
Bradley8787 
FalconMage

shereth
Dreamous 
Forfy 
vaulthurst 
Ether-Drift 
Leo_Todrius 
BlitztheDragon
...and there are so many more that I still have to mention. Just be sure to give them your support.
This journal is getting to be quite long, so I apologize to those that are actually taking the time to read the whole thing. My birthday was back in May and it got me thinking. I wanted to try posting Friends birthdays every month, just so people are aware of the birthdays that are coming up :p I am not to sure how this will go over and figured I would try it for a month and see how it goes. If I list anyone's birthday and they don't want it public please let me know and I will remove it. Of-course if I get any of them wrong let me know as-well. August birthdays :
canucklehead - today 
syrinoth - 9th 
2_gryphon - 11th 
shiuk - 12th 
FalconMcCooper - 13th
crome - 17th

You could have never done it without a...
Sidekick.
But nah really congrats dude.
the whole screen is white.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
How about a 7 picture series of dragons getting it on? One pic for each digit in 1,000,000 =P
How about a completed comic series? Based off of of a story of one of your favorite authors! :)
Impressive. Want the half plz XD
And *blushes immensely* I'm really flattered that you consider me to be a good story writer :) Means a lot to me, and I really had fun writing that story for you back then. It was certainly a fun little project to do, not to mention that it's also helped me get a bit more open writing M/M scenarios, and I'm hoping I can do more when I get the time :) I have an idea swirling around in my head you may enjoy when i put word to textpad/Word Doc/Google Doc ;)
But yeah, congrats and keep watching, cause there will be more awesome TF work to come :)
And just so you have it on file, my hatchday is May 7th :)
Contests, raffles, kiribans, they've all been done to death and gone haven't they? I think what I've found that works the best, is a 'random sampling' of those who are watching you. Pick 5 (or some comfortable number) completely random (yet active) watchers and do up some appreciation art for them.
This way, everyone stands an equal chance of winning, and all can feel appreciated from such. Vicky Wyman did similar and it went over pretty well.
Elsewise, from the other side of the coin and the mostly silent masses, thank /you/ for sharing what you do with the rest of us.
I hope drawing dick will get me this many!!!!
though i thought you had long passed the million to be honest. ^^°
and as an idea: something fluffy.
And as for suggestions, anything that involves your dragonsona in any way shape or form would be ideal. It's your 1 million pageviews after all ;)
A suggestion? Perhaps a gigantic dragon orgy starring you and pretty much every famous scalie you've ever drawn? Just a suggestion. ;3
Thought I'd screen cap the moment I saw it, perhaps to use as a milestone :)
Anyhow, well done, Narse! :) Keep up the awesome work that you keep producing!
Well i suppose i should write more often i suppose XD I do have a dragon TF story in the works ;)
A suggestion you say, hm? I say Duuz! That guy deserves to be loved. :]
Although congrats for the great work you do and the way it appeals to the masses. :D
I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting you a couple of times at AC and can say you deserve these views and watches not just for your talent but because you’re a very caring and cool person :)
As for ideas/suggestions: I'd say something with dragons, featuring feet, dick, and ass; in that order of importants.
As a "suggestion", or maybe a prediction, I would say something to do with sharks and bunnies =)
but seriously, congraudlations in the one million. that is a great achievement considering there are alot less people here than say, deviantart.
you certainly deserve it :3 you were one of the first people I've watched here and I've seen you develop so much <3
You already drew so much stuff, it's hard to imagine about something really special you could draw. It definitely should include butt and you :3
But yeah, it is you, so I'm not worried there won't be any butt ^.=.^
I love how your stress levels are down, creativity is up, and you're promoting more communication and awareness. You should be the new mascot! (Just kidding, you have more important things to do with your time )
Most of all, I am so sincerely flattered that you included me on your author's list. It really means a lot and you are so kind. Thank you so much!
Score 1,000,000 on any song in Co....
Oh wait, wrong million...
Cheers!!
As for suggestions for the special drawing your talking about, it's certaintly something that everyone should vote on. Maybe you could have everyone vote on the best dragon characters from your art so that everyone likes the most and put them put together in a drawing; or maybe you could draw a comic like the ones you've done before--comics are harder to pull off but I'm sure they're a breeze for you...Anyway, these are just some ideas that I have :)
Your one of the best if not the best artist on furaffinity and you've got over 1,000,000 pageviews to prove it :)
Keep up the great work! But don't forget to to enjoy life amidst your RL responsibilities. ^_^
As for suggestions for a special drawing, maybe a picture of your dragony self hard at work drawing dragon pron? I'd enjoy seeing a depiction of you while you're working. :)
Take care! ^^
Not porn.
Can be adult or have erotic scenes, but not porn.
And it's nice to know that an awesome artist like you also appreciates good writers.
About the drawing, My vote goes for a small comic, or a tasty bukkake XD
*looks up* dang... well, thank you for being such a good artist and good person:)
As for ideas, I'd adore seeing you draw a dolphin/orca or two, maybe interacting with a dragon? you know how much we phins love tail;)
I hope someday I can make the list of authors you admire, thank you for your appreciation of the wordmsiths:)
On a side note, would you be going to RMFC next weekend?
And indeed our authors and writers need some extra love as well as they rarely receive much, they are just as amazing as the ones who draw their stories! :)
*big hugs to you from the red one* :D
Also, I'm slow at reading journals...gotta get on that, too.
take your time, i am glad to know some one bothers to read the fan's notes ( but i'll restrain to send any because you must get a thousand of them by the hour XD, just don't forget that you got a fan cheering for you here, okay?).
and the ideas , that others have suggested, on what you should do next, are great. and the only thing i could think of would be to try to do two things at once, like making a Tutorial while working on your next project.
