A gratitude note
9 years ago
Hehe, well, what I am about to do is silly, but I'll feel better doing it anyways.
So, I am writing this journal to thanks a lot of people.
Why I am thanking them?
Well, despise my account being from May of this year, I am a lurker from FA from waaaaay before that. If anyone is curious, my old watcher/lurker account was hawklink.
(Ahh, 2007, when I was young (and surely not pure) and veeeeery infatuated with Garr it seems. Well, he IS a nice hunk of gargoyle meat.)
There were some account problems earlier this year, and I lost access to it. Later, the FA support manage to recover it for me, but it took a while and as you can imagine, I WOULD NOT STAY IDLE WITHOUT MY LEWDS!
So I created another one, and decided to keep going with that. That account would be this one here, hehe!
Around september/october, I decided that I wanted some of my ideas done, in a physical way. Aside from art faving, I am into a lot of reading. Many things from many writers from here, and my mind got along with some stories of my own. That's when I started going with commissions.
So yeah, I have being around for a while, but never really into the fandom or interacting with people at all. I never had a reason to. All this started this year. And that is the reason I have to thank you.
Who I am thanking? Well, there are 3 groups of people.
First, it would be the artists that worked with me in commissions and talked with me during notes or streams. I started 'mild' at this commission stuff, and worked with stories, since they are easier to work with, especially when you have no characters at all, or pictures of your characters to work as references.
I had some good ideas that I would like to see them in paper (I still have actually, I am still commissioning stories).
Three of my characters where 'born' like this, I guess. And after that, I attemped to get image commissions, and seek for artists that could work from text descriptions alone.
I discovered very quick that is very hard to find them. Not many artists work with this, and I later got to understand why, seeing many streams with drawing process and talking with them. Working with text descriptions alone means actually designing the character from zero, and without a base or poses and such, there are a number of reasons why many artists decline it.
So I thank the artists that took my commissions at the beginning, with only words, and brought my characters to life. I also thank all other works I got. I know I may be a silly person to work with sometimes. I am a guy that likes to think more of the situation of the picture than with the pose or point of view. I learned a lot from many of you guys as well. I hope I was someone easy to work with overall. It's not because that I am paying for a service, that the work can't be as pleasurable as possible.
I'll list all the artists that I have worked with, or anyhow helped to bring pieces of my characters, in no particular order. I'll be listing them, because as artists, they deserve the recognition, and you may find more things you like in their gallery.

There is also a lot of other artists that I just talked with, in notes, or streams and such, and learned a lot from them. I even consider some of you my friends, hehe! Just to name a few:
Marlon.cores,
Vence,
Samnson,
Kenshiki666,
thisstump,
siriusdog and some others that I probably forgot.
And here's hoping to get commissions with you as well!
I know a lot, if not all of you, will not see this journal, but I feel like I should do this anyways.
Second, I want to thank all the friends I made here.
I'll admit that I did not excpect to make friends here in FA. Like I said earlier, there was no reason for me to interact with anyone on FA. But, you all came in the most different ways, and it was very nice to known the people behind the art, the comment or the characters. It was also good to find and talk to the character/artist I have been following for so long! It takes away that feeling of the person being unreachable, you know?
You were all also a very good network to get to know new artists and opportunities for good commissions. And I even hope to get commissions with your characters in the future as well!
It is the spirit of a community overall, and I am glad to have joined it and get to know you all.
It helped me to come in better terms with who I am too, in some way.
I will not make the mistake of naming you, because I think this is like ranking people, but know that I really appreciate you all.
Last, but not least, I want to thank the people what watched this account, fav'd the stuffs here, or sent me notes to talk with. Be it because you liked a picture in special, or because some character pleased you, or just because some specific pic hit you in the right spots. I thank you. You were also good opportunities to get to know new artists and good characters, as I try to check back with you. It is a nice feeling knowing people liked me or my characters, as I like other people's characters as well.
Thank you all!
With that said, its not like I am leaving or anything!
2017 is coming, and I hope to get it going as I am right now. Keep getting new commissions, keeping contact everyone I met here, getting to know new people, lurking in streams and such. I feel like that I am just starting for real now.
I am also a quite person, but feel free to contact me, be it to just talk, commission ideas, and such, I am very open person overall. Just don't expect roleplay from me, as I all bad at all that. One day, maybe.
I'll take the opportunity to wish you all happy holidays and a happy new year! I may not talk to everyone as holidays people tend to travel or stay with parents and such.
Enjoy your festivities, be with family, loved ones, friends or alone! The important is you have a good time, the way you like it!
PS: I'll still be here during the holidays.
Well, that's it! I told you all this would be silly, hehe!
I don't want to be the 'sensible guy getting attention', but this was something that I felt I'd like to take out of my chest.
Hope my english was enough for this. I have a much better grasp listening and understanding than writing.
Thanks for bearing with me with this too, hehe!
Big hugs to you all!

VNs are another thing that captivated me ever since I tried playing Morenatsu.
Happy 35ÂșC holidays! Air conditioning, full steam ahead!
Pleasured to be your watcher, even for a short time yet. ^^'
Hope to see you and talk to you at streams in the future as well~
Happy Holidays, Broody!
You are a nice guy too! I know we'll be seeing each other a lot in some streams.
Happy holidays!
But seriously, it's a lot of fun being there when I can, I do consider you a friend as well! Let's keep that firm and strong!
This journal is really full of emotions, it's simply adorable !
*hugs you warmly*
You're really a nice guy =3
I'll glady accept tons of hugs from the gaytor!
Not that this is a bad thing, but I think I developed fondness for OCs more now, and probably became biased to certain species and artists. But yes, I became more 'selected' with faving stuff, and I see stuff at twitter and tumblr now too, and end up sometimes not faving it here. Maybe that is why my favs became boring.
