So, about half a year ago as of yesterday, a special day passed for me. My birthday! Oh my gosh I had such a nice time, went and got sushi with friends, had a great night of gaming and hangout, etc etc. I came on here and had tons of lovely gifts in the forms of pics and stories (which honestly make my day more than most physical gifts ever could) and I was feeling extremely good!

Then two days later, I was thrown out of my house.

In a huge stupid fight between my mom and I that culminated in me knowing I couldn't live there anymore even before I was told to get out. Well it marked a huge change in my life, turning my art into a career that I could sustain myself off of. In the coming months I lived with friends while looking for a place to live, and slowly but surely managed to use this bad instance as the fire under my butt to get me on my own feet.

It's not been the easiest time since then, but I'm in a good situation with a good friend and a lovely home now, and I've been working very hard to ensure that happens. It's meant many long days and TONS of work but it's been justified, improving, and encouraging. Now more than ever do I want to do larger projects, and really contribute more to the community than pinups. My comics, animations, and games that have been so long on the backburner are finally coming up into my fore again as I find a semblance of balance in my new work life.

I can't thank every one of you enough for any kind of support you've given me, whether it be financial, artistic, or even just a comment or a fave. Every bit of this has helped me make something for myself and while it might be small now it has a TON of room to grow and I intend to grow both it and myself in ways I've only dreamt of.

However this also means that I've had a PILE of gifts sitting around over the last year from that time that I never commented on, in spite of reading or viewing them! D: I'm a right tosser for it, and I want to publicly thank you all for drawing me ANYTHING much less a lovely birthday gift! So let me put them all in this journal as a big thank you alongside my individual ones!

http://fav.me/dccc48b This first one from  happypal is just incredible, what a big set of squishy shapes! Mmmph I love it and I LOVE character interaction pieces, plus it introduced me to their work which I love!

http://fav.me/dccd7pv This awesome pinup from  madevilindustries is just of Suki in a way I haven't seen in a long time, svelte! I'm thrilled people enjoy her at all sizes, much less want to draw her in any way!

http://fav.me/dcchwvn This is an amazing group pic from  idolmonkeh of Suki and his Naoto docked by an eager claw! Oh gosh I don't know where to start, I've been a fan of these kinda pics of his for YEARS and seeing Suki in his style is too much, I adore it <3

http://fav.me/dcciyet This beautiful pic from  thegodskillus is about where I wasn't able to reply in time, and what a SHAME because this picture is amazeballs. I'd be lying if I didn't say that Suki's big fat ass was a big fat treat every time <3 This is an amazing piece and introduced me to their adorable work!

http://fav.me/dccjjbz Oh man  kakuepsilon knows my weaknesses in a big way l3 Another indulger of the inflated tootsies like myself and lover of my entire cast, they did me a cutie pic combining the two ;3;

http://fav.me/dccj88m Mother of GOD this amazing piece from  nfl8or is not only of one of my more side characters in an AMAZING scenario but comes complete with a story told from three perspectives! It's so cute, sexy, and fun I can't even contain myself X3

http://fav.me/dcckj5b WOWSA  okioppai's interpretation of Suki is so bushy and sexy and I love it! She looks like she's had a long night of fun and is up for more >;3 This is so beautiful I can't even ;3;

http://fav.me/dccc25h This ADORABLE piece from  rusfish of his Etanee and Suki interacting hits so many chords! I love seeing my chars play with other people's and her attitude and personality is so well represented in the body language and dialogue of the piece! You really did her justice ;3;

http://fav.me/dcckpya Speaking of adorable interactions,  maximumflyer64 has done a lovely pic of Suki indulging in a cake with his adorable Sophie! I encourage kitties to play always! >w</

http://fav.me/dccktxt Awwww it's so nice to be thought of by a group of people like in  thekairii27's pic of them all throwing a party for me...just like here ;3; the kind thoughts really mean the world to me...

http://fav.me/dccl7ur I know where this inspiration came from!  20008921 liked the idea of Suki's big tummy as a pillowy bed, and I can't say I disagree in the slightest! Such an adorably tender pic ;3;

http://fav.me/dccm4bm Ooooof this beautiful picture that  squishychegg did for me really plays up my love for crushing people under huge amounts of huge :D Poor Suki, elevators are not your friend ;3;

https://orig00.deviantart.net/e34c/.....le-dccmhrd.png And SPEAKING of inadvertant crushings, another poor sap falls to her butt!  thotbubble did a gorgeous pic of massive Suki smashing him to the wall with that CHONK. And she didn't even notice until he was well and wedged X3 That's my Suki ;3;

http://fav.me/dccmmek Oh man,  bioyugi made good on his threat to Bimbo up Ms Suki in this hot tale of her going airheaded from a treat in class one day ;3; Honestly, if she hasn't learned her lesson about eating things left for her in class yet then she gets what she deserves!

http://fav.me/dccmn4p AGAIN WITH THE CRUSHING! :D  shineofrain did a lovely rendition of Suki as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Cat, obviously in a new milk chocolate flavour! :D

http://fav.me/dccmyzf WHY ME! DX  martmeisterpaladin wanted to do a drawing of myself bloated up WAY bigger than Suki for her to play with! I'm not sure why he likes me cuz who would EVER wanna seea big blooned lionboy >3> but I can't say I'm not grateful for the fun pic or the unique situation! ;3;

http://fav.me/dccuznk https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27463381/ And last but DEFINITELY not least, a pic commed by  kleiny and drawn by  fancyfez of two beautiful girls, Eva and Vollie as big inflated maids to trap me in the middle of them ;3; Oh geez I love it so much, this is an IDEAL place for someone to be I promise ;3;

<===============================================>

I have held onto these on my DA for all this time, but if I've missed ANY pictures please inform me and I will edit this post to include them...

I can't appropriately equate how horrible I feel for not thanking people promptly for these or even worse for making them feel unappreciated. ANY time I get any art I'm beside myself, it's so much fun to see people represent my characters MUCH LESS to think that they enjoy them enough to want to draw them...Thank you all infinitely and thanks everybody for your support, consideration, and kindness! ;3;/
