A heartfelt thank you
9 years ago
I just want to express my everlasting gratitude for all of the support, appreciation and encouragement I have received in this community in the past year and a half. Switching to creating furry art as my main source of work and income has been one of the better decisions I have made in my career in recent years. Contrary to most of the work I do in the industry, I feel appreciated here. I feel like my work matters, my voice matters. I matter. It sounds cheesy I know, but I have met some of the best people I know in this community and collectively you have seen me through some pretty bitter times, perhaps (probably) unknowingly so.
You guys matter to me, and to my art. I feel that my work has seen a notable improvement over recent months and a lot of that is thanks to the motivation this place gives me to keep working for it. I don't want to give too much gravity to numbers, but I can't ignore the fact that I have passed the 10.000 follower milestone today and I mean, shit guys. That's a small town's population worth of people that think my work is worth following and it's difficult for me to fathom the size of that number.
I'm a bit too wrapped up in work right now, but once I have a bit more time I will hold a raffle for a small piece to celebrate and as a thank-you.

I feel similarly here. It's a little bit of a different beast, but working here sometimes feels more meaningful than any of my freelance jobs.
It is awesome seeing that you made such a hard decision and the result being so positive! I don't know what to say, i just think it is super cool that you found a community where you feel free and apreciated.
with recent events *hints at murica* it is easy to loose faith in humanity, but the experiances i made in this fandom and that i see people make in this fandom kindof gives back some of that faith.
I am proud to have met so many people (you included :>) in Person and i am even more proud that i can call many of them "friends".
keep up the amazing work and keep improving :>
One day i might have enough money to get a complete drawing from you ;)
And yes, I am painfully aware of the political climate for a lot of my followers and friends right now, but I consciously chose to not mention it in this post. There's plenty of fear and hate and frustration to go around and I don't want to add to it. If anyone wants to chat or needs a hug though I'm definitely here.
Thanks again and I'll do my best ^^.
You deserve all the attention and more :)
... though I'm mean and won't hold a raffle to draw you something, as I can't even draw stick men ;)
A typical 12.2-ounce ( 360 gram ) box has about 1,769 Froot Loops...
So you have over five and a half boxes of Froot Loops worth of people following you!
... That's a lot of Froot Loops o.o
And for my part I certainly appreciate the sheer quality and effort in the work done! I certainly believe that your work, and the reach that it has had, both within the fandom and outside, has helped to reduce some of the stereotypes that exist about the fandom, and helped demonstrate the artistic potential that the "anthro art" has XD
Hope your support continues to grow, in and out of the fandom!
V/R,
Cap Mag.
Thanks very much Mag <3
Keep doing you amazing work
That is literally half my town's population.
<3
And thank you for being so friendy and kind, you always inspire me, not only you artworks (which I love) but also for your way of being :3
But lemme say congrats for that milestone! you deserve all those watchers and more!
*huge ovation*
I'm afraid my work is not available haha. Thanks though!
I love that you are sucessful. You deserve it. I cant wait until the day when the culture shifts to value all of our artists the way we do you.
In addition, I am always blown away by your art. I look forward to having one of your pieces on my wall some day. <3
Thank you very much <3.
CARAAAID Congratulations on having so many followers in such a short time in this community and thank you for sharing such beautiful art, I notice the time of effort, experience and greatness you have.
For me your art has to be known throughout Furaffinity. * - *
I'm very happy for you and I wish you the best!
I know I have totally written this to you on stream and such but I just can't express how much motivation you put in my life with your works :'D
Thanks so much for the kind words and I'm truly flattered to be an inspiration. <3
Also I got your quote reference on your profile, forgot to mention that after I listened to your interview. n.n
Haha, excellent!
If it weren't for you I wouldn't have met quite a few super amazing people* myself c:
*Psst, that includes you :p
So let's all celebrate it!
Here's to another great year and another 10,000 watchers milestone!! Cheers!!
Haha who knows, that would be pretty amazing!
I'm sure we'll all looking forward to see many more great piece from you
and you are very nice as a person too so totally deserve it!
And 10 000 watchers in less than 2 years is also really impressive. Even more impressive if you consider that unlike other artists you do not draw NSFW art. It is understandable if porn artists get a lot of watchers, but that you have so many watchers by drawing SFW art really shows how much people still value clean art.
*applauds for you* Again, congratulation for this achievement, and also thank you for sharing your amazing art with us all. Keep up your great work, we will all keep the comments rolling and the faves popping up. ^.=.^
And yes, I've noticed the same, although there is also the expectation that one needs to draw porn to be successful in the fandom. I hope I can break that stereotype a bit ^^.
