*le collapses*
So! This is one of the things I've been working on for sometime. In fact, it's been in my head for over a month now, going on two. And sadly, I wasn't able to get everyone that I wanted in this gift collaboration, but, I did what I could ^^;

This was supposed to be a sketch but... well, it turned into full colored things~ lD; if the people pictured here want their image separate, I can give you the link to my stash folder of them ^^

This is, in essence, a thank you gift to my friends, and furthermore, a letter to my watchers.

Thank you, Rae http://raedio.deviantart.com/ [top left]
You've been there for me for so long, and even if we are in completely different time zones, I'm really glad we've been able to keep in touch as well as we have. I am so grateful for your patience and wisdom, and have always appreciated your input and genuine interest in my life, artwork, and characters. I am truly grateful to have you as a friend, and I can never thank you enough times for being so patient with my slow replies, and sometimes hectic life that tends to get between me responding half the time. You've been an inspiration, and a good friend from the start, and I'm so glad that we are friends. Thank you~

Oh mahn... You of all people, know my horribleness with replying, and I cannot thank you enough for being so understanding and willing to work with me. I do often get stuck in the loop of 'oh, I should reply... oh, I should've replied by now... ooohno, it's been too long, they're totally going to hate me for replying this late' and yet, you've always been understanding and willing to pick up where we left off. You were also the first person to take a genuine interest in my attempt at a closed species, and I just want to thank you so much for the confidence boost you gave me there. It has been a great pleasure knowing you my friend, and I'm so happy to have someone to talk ideas and the like with, even if I tend to forget a bunch.

Thank you, Sokom  sokom [bottom left]
Since day one you've been...simply amazing to me. Which, I know I've told you before but, gonna say it again; you're awesome. From the start it was a bittersweet greet, but, somehow, you were able to look past the grouchy fox I had been, and leave an imprint on my heart like no one has before. I've just..never felt connected to someone the way I can connect with you, and for sure, at times that connection can be near scary 'coincidence', but I've never... felt so... in sync with someone, and it just be a pure and natural connection. Honestly, I could have never predicted for things to turn out the way they have, and, again, wouldn't change it for the world. You've just been..simply amazing to me, and I just... thank you, thank you so much for being who you are, and bringing out the best in me; the true me that has been hiding for too long. You're a good friend, awesome gamer, and you do have yourself a lovely voice; I don't care what you think, it's beautiful, and I could easily (and have) listen to you for hours. I really anticipate the day we meet in person, and with each passing day, we get one step closer to that. It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time, but, we can take it slow until then, and simply hope for the best. After all, we've got a lot to look forward to next year. So, thank you for.... everything. I can't say it enough.

And don't think that just because you're last on this little thank you set (as far as drawings go) that makes you any less important to me. You my friend, I do believe have been one of my oldest internet friends. Thick and thieves we used to be, and oh ho, the torment we would give our characters... so amusing... Good times those were, and even though we only occasionally talk these days, I am still glad we are friends and are at least able to talk. I will always remember the 'good ol days', but I am also so happy and proud of you for overcoming the obstacles in your life, even if I wasn't able to help at some of those times. I know I can always come to you for advice, or simply to rant about retail (retail robin brofist) but I am never... upset, at us living our own lives. You've been a friend to me, for so many years, and I'm just... so glad I was able to meet such an interesting, amazing, and inspiring person. You have your own style, your own intriguing ideas, and characters, and I just want you to know; you're awesome, keep at it my friend, and hopefully we'll see more art from you!

Either because I didn't know what your sona looked like, or likewise, if you had one; I still want to thank these people individually.

Thank you, Scarlet http://slithur.deviantart.com/
My friend, you have been one of the coolest cats I know. Your characters are original and colorful, your plots intriguing and developed, and your ability to kill that chemistry with a stick! amazing. Seriously, so much respect for you my friend. I've always been a fangirl of all your characters, and there...may be some...*coughs*stalking*coughs* going on, but ahem, it's always been a real insight whenever I check them out after you've made any little changes to them. Sure we haven't been as actively rping as we used to, but I'm still always happy to chat with you when you get time off from your busy life; which speaking of, so much respect for a fellow animal lover and the dedication to your school-work as well. I may not have been able to defeat chemistry, but I send you all the luck and 'whoos' for being able to tackle that stuff... and be able to keep up your social life, to me, that's amazing. Thank you for being so awesome, friendly, and creative, and of course, my friend.

Thank you, Memento
I don't think you have a DA account just yet, but, I do want to thank you for being a very interesting friend; not in a bad way either! You've always been a good insight on some of the major issues I've faced recently and in the past, and even if we haven't been 'friends' for too long, I still want to thank you for sending me messages every now and then, checking in on me, my artwork, and my life. It makes me feel special having someone to talk to about such things, and even if we are on very different time zones as well, I'm still glad I was able to get to know you better. I do hope I can help you find the perfect, unrestricted place for your characters, so I can better read up on them and such, but until then, thank you for taking an interest in my own, and being a good ear to chat off about them ^^; I know I could go on forever about some... In any case, you've been a wonderful confidant, and friend; thank you.

Thank you, To all my Watchers
Even if I don't update as much as some people, or even talk with you directly half the time, I am really grateful for everyone's support, and I do take notice if someone has favorited a lot of my works, and it just makes me all happy inside to know my passion is liked and shared among you all. New and old, I'm glad you guys are enjoying my works, and I hope not to disappoint you in future works to come. Thank you all for the support and confidence you've given me, I truly, truly appreciate it.

So yeah, thank you everyone for your support, comments, favorites and likewise~ I am so honored to have such amazing friends, and so many watchers. I hope to chat with you all one of these days, but you'll have to pardon Fox's slow response time, and shyness towards a crowd ^^;

Thank you, everyone, it is truly an honor :heart:
