More from forest-wolf
This picture means a lot to me. I can't exactly put into words why, but it does. Its like the culmination of something...Or the realization of it maybe? I'm not sure how to put it, and please forgive my rambling in the following paragraphs. Its hard to put into words what I've already tried (and failed) to put onto paper.
In any case, if I was a better artist, I would have been able to center it more, while keeping everyone in place, to make it look like they were all fanning out behind him, but I just wasn't able to. Also if I was a better artist, I would've been able to fit everyone in equally; there's no real "scale" to this, its just whoever I felt drawing where I was currently drawing, so don't read too deeply into it. This is for everyone, despite there only being a few people in it...I'm almost sure I'm gonna get heat for not including everyone ever, heh.
I tried my hardest on this. I hope it shows.
That being said, I'm proud, honored to have met the people I have over the years here, and elsewhere online too. I don't know all of you personally, and only met a couple of you face-to-face before, but regardless of if you're in this one silly picture or not, I appreciate every single one of you. We may not talk often, or rarely at all; I may be slow to reply to messages, or text, or not always answer phone calls, but I still think of you. Even if no one else in the world cares about you, I still will. Its not some ideologic, meaningless statement either; if you know anything about me, know that when I manage to say something from the heart, I mean it 100%.
I know I try too hard sometimes, I try to be a "superman", and handle everything myself. I bottle things up inside to the point where I can't focus in the slightest and lose myself in the process. I don't like causing others pain or hardships, and I refuse to sit by idly when there's someone that needs help, and I'm in a position to help them. Its not who I am. I refuse to only care about myself. I don't think I'll ever stop wishing I could fix everything for everyone, and I think its simultaeneously one of my greatest strengths, and greatest shortcomings.
With that said, thank you. Thank you for putting up with me all these years, watching me flounder in place, celebrating with me in good times, helping me up in the bad times, not giving up on me when I trap myself in a corner trying to fix things that aren't always my problem. I just have this idea of the person I am, the person I want to become...I'm not there yet, and I'm not sure I'll be able to achieve it in this life; I'm only human after all. I mess up all of the time. Thank you for being understanding with that too, and forgiving me even when I didn't need to be forgiven. You all know how I can get with that too, heh.
The title might not make much sense, but its just as important to this idea as anything else. I'll just say it like this: With the sun at your back, its easy to see where you're going. I'm fortunate to have met such people with bright, open hearts.
Thank you again, all of my friends.

I'm surprised someone noticed that! I was trying to draw him a bit more proportional to how I am in RL (well, a bit smaller really, I've kinda been hitting the gym a lot X3), and I liked how it turned out. Also closer to clothes I wear nowadays, though I still wish I had a hoodie t-shirt like Forest here, haha. X3
In any case, thanks! I'm glad you like it. :)

I like it. whats funny is, i hated math in school, and i managed to choose a path in college where i dont need math.. BUT when i draw, i go about it very mathematically, making sure my proportions are correct and certain ratios between different parts of the body. it appeals to me greatly when i see a character with spot on anatomy, so to see such an adorable character closer to the way i draw is great 8D
"Thank you for putting up with me all these years..."
Put up with? You make it sound like there's been an aspect of being your friend that's been less than enjoyable, that's been problematic for us. Throughout all my time knowing you, all that time being your friend, I don't think any of the time we've spent together or apart has been chore or a hassle or a problem.
I want to say I've been with you when you've been at your worst, (If I have you're incredible at keeping your composure), but I've been there when you've been down as well as when you've been happy as anything and with that I've been more than willing to dedicate my time for you, for fun, for comfort, for compassion, for cheering up or whatever it may be!
It's a pleasure to be friends with you, and I'm sure that wont change any time soon. <3

I would hope that anyone featured on here wouldn't complain about relative size. If they did, they probably wouldn't be on here. XD
I'm happy to be your friend, FW. You're a genuinely good person. It's hard to find such people, so when I do, I'll be damned if I won't support them. :)

Thank you for being you and for never giving up. You really are an incredibly strong individual, while at the same time remain so kind, considerate, and thoughtful. Your talents speak for themselves, but the fact that you always try to better yourself while also care for others is very impressive and admirable.
Thank you for being my friend wolf, that will never change and I'm always here for you like you are always there for me.
It's a beautiful statement to your friends, it really is lovely and you're lovely too in ways few people can understand or see but I think you've let everyone see a part of the beauty that is you over the years and we will always be there for you.

Wow Forest, this is really good. I know you said it would look better if you were a better artist, but it honestly looks just fine as it is. X3 You have a great talent, and the way those friends talk about you speaks volumes about yourself. :3 You're a good guy, and I wish you luck in life. I hope to help everyone I can just as you do, that's always been something I believe in.
