So i've managed to spot that Ive reached a little over 8,000 watchers, and I guess to some that would feel like some kind of feat. I am amazed at the number with exactly how little I post and reclusive I have been. Though after seeing that number, my brain got to thinking, Just how many are actively watching me. I dunno...I guess the only reason I looked up the amount of watchers I have was because I was asked if I became popular super quick or if it was a gradual thing. I responded back with how I don't believe I am all that popular. I've been on FA for 7 to 8 years. I think its 8 because I remember when FA started, I think a year after I joined, It crashed and people had to create new accounts and submit their name to try and re upload images they had previously.

Anyway, the point is, it was never my intention to be popular. I just remember finally having a scanner and being able to show my artwork to other like minded people. My family knew I like to draw, but they were never interested in what I drew...nor did I care to really show them because they wouldn't understand (not the porn part but the animal characters and stuff). So I could finally show people things! then when I got my first wacom tablet...it opened up a whole other medium and it was easier to get things down digitally. I guess I was more surprised that people actually liked my stuff. Now I'm known, and that's cool! Though being known and being popular are two different things, at least to me.

Blargh...I'm self evaluating again...that's never a good thing for me.

anyway thank you all
