Where did you find me / why did you watch me?

■■■■■
Hi guys! :D
I know this is a terribly common question...
But I guess it's high time I ask it myself...
Recently I've been seeing some of my art on other sites like e621/e926, derpibooru, tumblr, twitter, weasyl, and furrybooru. And I don't even have to mention the obvious thievery that took place on Deviantart; so, DA as well... Mostly what I've seen of my art on these sites are by the commissioners themselves, which I don't have much of a problem with. (I only wish you'd tell me ahead of time if you're gonna upload my art anywhere else!) But -some- instances I've seen no links to the art and the commissioner at all... Luckily no other person has claimed it as their own though and I have been credited, so at least there's that; which I'm thankful for!
But it got me wondering... How many of my watchers come from FA? I'm pretty sure like, 99.8% of you all do, save for some of those who met me on TF2... but it'd be nice to know haha
Even if someone introduced you to my page! That'd also be nice to know~ :D
I like feeling more connected with you all ._. I wish I was more active and I do wish I had more art to share with you guys, but truth of the matter is I just don't feel like drawing a lot of the time... It's annoying more to me than any of you trust me! But hopefully I can turn that around some time soon. I do still have some new characters I'm working on, so once I finish my current commission batch, I can tend to those guys~

Much appreciation though! I'm still surprised that people even read journals often anymore >_<;
Man, I haven't done many tf2 chibis in a while. You remind me, it should probably be time I open for some more of those in a couple weeks time :/
I know Huhskie now, we played a bit on TFP on TF2 together before. He's a swell guy :D
I think that might also answer the second part of your question :U
And I appreciate you every time! xD
Usually I get a lot of very very NSFW favorites but every now and then I come across something that I'm just like "holy crap that's awesome"
I see one of your favorites is the submission of my icon :D Oh I still can't stop looking at it... haha
Really making me want an espeon on my pokemon Y team now uwu
and yes, i suppose that my main sona as an espeon kind of stands out since not many people use espeon (i see more umbreons though)
It's appreciated, don't get me wrong, but I love having things to respond to >_<
Actually, espeon used to be my favorite (other than flareon, of course; flareon's always been my favorite eeveelution.) I remember back when Pokemon was all the rage I was obsessed with eevee/vaporen/umbreon/flareon. Then they came out with two more and I started calling them the six group..haha silly but whatever I was like 6 or something like that. And up until last week I've NEVER used an eeveelution in any of my pokemon teams. I just recently evolved an eevee into an umbreon because I needed a high hp/high phys attacker on my team... and it's made me appreciate umbreon a lot more.
I TRULY want to use glaceon and leafeon though, those two are absolute beauties *w* I definitely need to make a fully ev-trained eeveelution team for when I eventually start battling friends. Just for kicks.
Even though I have a full ev trained bug team and full ev trained ghost team...e_e more training for me haha
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO NOW I'M RAMBLING.
And whoever said rambling can be a bad thing? (sometimes i do short responses only because i don't really know much to say XD; )
I have him watched actually! I love his characters designs and I had hoped some of them would inspire me to finally do more designing of my own. But I hate it. Honestly, I wish I could commission people to design stuff for me... but I just don't have that money :c
and yeah, i met tek pretty early on back on DA first XD
As for why i watch you? Well, I think I tell you it often enough, but i absolutely love the expressiveness of your characters and the depth you give them simply with how you pose and style them.
On that topic; finding the 'first picture' of a favored artist is truly an awesome thing. I could go through some artists I watch galleries and pinpoint em as well. It's definitely about first impressions in that aspect... I'm glad I gave you a good one~
I severely underestimated the amount of patience and motivation it took to do something like that -_- I haven't even drawn in a month, of anything, so forget a comic strip that takes me a full day of no breaks to finish! that's like....over 16 hours of work straight
I even tried breaking it up, like 2 panels a day, on my fourth strip. It still lies unfinished in a .sai file somewhere. /sigh
Oh well u.u
Still mad about that lol
But I appreciate the kind words <3
I have so many ideas, for like, my characters and such. Their own world or whatever, and no one to share em with it seems!
But, it's fun to daydream about it, which is why I continue.
If art wasn't so hard and painful for me to do, I'd try to get better and illustrate some of those ideas >:
I must have added you on my steam then... since my profile is set to private?
(Well, it never used to be)
My memory is bad so sorry if I don't recognize you ;_;
I thought that your friends list is full already and decided not to spam you.
Munks was the only skunk I ever drew, it has to be him.
Oh god, I remember doing his ref too. It took AGES! lol
The coon in that picture is adorable too c:
I never uploaded his ref to my FA though because he requested that I didn't.
Armor is really something that drives me insane when drawing, I must get more used to that D:
And well if its no obvious I watched back cuz I really dig your art. :3
Thanks to Dodge, in one of his journals
And you were one of the first people I played tf2 with too~ and now look at me... I've done gone all serious about it now >w>
/sobs quietly. my addiction is my shame
It's like, word of mouth except...kindanotreally
You've become a legend in my gallery man, and although I'm pretty sure everyone on FA knows you by now, it was pretty cool to be commissioned by you months and months ago.
I feel like I helped start a huge thing lmao
I appreciate the kind words, as always!
I remember seeing one of my pics on e621 and there was a huge discussion about how my fox 'sona didn't look like a girl at all. So they tagged her as a male...then the uploader said she was a female so people got mad and said "well she looks like a male so tag this as ambiguous gender" or whatever
so
that was interesting x_x
At least I was credited, but sheesh XD
Thanks a lot though! I dunno about character designing, I HATE designing; but I'm glad you think so >_<
And agreed on Phantom, for both counts! :D
I HAVE WAY TOO MANY
oh wait this isnt for me..?
oh..
um.
well. this is awkward.
isn't that a story to tell people
"So how did you two meet?"
"uh..... well....it involved mistletoe and pokemon..."
speakin of. check your inventory on neo.
my
god
no
now I have the wreath and the headband
HOW AM I GONNA REMEMBER TO SEND BOTH OVER IN THE FUTURE ??!fsd/
lmao.
we're so weird. but thats ok.
Please no "omg we're so weird lolol" just gawd /smacks you
feel ashamed
we're not attention seekers
>:
i'll show myself the door.
Still cannot remember exactly what spray it was. I believe it was one of your tf2 chibis? I dunno :P
Weird how I can't recall D:
I'm guessing that spray was Feilen's though? Haha, he has a couple of ones made by me.. 3 actually xD
I'm glad I can give you that then! xD
That's usually how I end up finding new people as well...It's a good thing we're curious then~
I think you've been watching me for a long time now. I always notice your name when I see you comment...and that's great!
Plus, by reading your profile, it seems we have mostly the same views on everything, so that's pretty fuckin' awesome.
And your friend Koul is on my watchers list! Such a good artist xD
I couldn't wander through FA and stay interested for more than like ten minutes or so >:
Cheers <3
I never gave her the justice I thought she deserved though, I look back and am generally unimpressed with the pictures of her in it >.<
It's sad because she's such a great character. I think I just have a lot of issues with drawing cats.
Gosh, you've been watching me forever then D:
The only time I've posted your art anywhere is my commission, on bunny's FA page.
Crazy how fast time flies. I keep thinking I've only been on FA for a few months now but no, it's been almost a year..
@_@
So I dunno, I got into your queue because I thought (and still do) your was the SHIIIIIT!
Forreal
I wish I could be doing commissions more often! Drawing for people like you was awesome. Plus, you're a totally rad guy and was extremely patient with me.
Drawing has become such a chore though I don't see myself opening for commissions again any time soon xD
Hope you get out of that rut soon. You're quite the talented wasp
but were doing freebies and i was like omgosh pls yes
and i got one
because your style is just so
adorbs

A very beautiful character and I'm so glad I chose her to draw *_*
I MEAN HOW FRICKEN CUTE IS SHE. SO FRICKEN CUTE <3
He's an awesome dude lol, but every time he IMs me on steam I'm either away/busy or something
I feel bad D:
Yeah, trading with Xae was so fun. I love his style ridiculously and it's even better to see how awesome he made Miso look~
I wanna do more trades but... uwu
So here I am! Happy watcher.
And are you talking about Auvila? - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11987978/
She's probably my favorite "new" character myself, and seeing others not particularly liking bugs before like them now makes me happy, so that means a ton <3
and I fell in love your character design
Feels like forever ago that I uploaded that...
but...ugh..it's still right there in the first line of my recent submissions
/grumbles xD
Seems like the front page is a common thing here
I'm usually afraid to check it out :T
I barely post to /r/furry anymore! xD
Now I'm only ever against you!
...jk <3
Reason given: wouldn't erect a dispenser
