Celebrating the 10th Anniversary (with FULL STORY)
Sorry for a super duper late post since I lost everything I wrote.
Well, it is the 10th anniversary of my creation since August 15, 2008. I created these characters in my childhood years. How and why I created these characters? I'll tell you my whole story, including a little bit of my biography even though it was not really famous here in my profile.
On August 15, 2008, I just got bored at home and after watching some cartoon shows and movies. I remembered the last show I watched is Mr. Bean: Animated Series. This show caught me an attention. The main character of the show, Mr. Bean, has a stuffed bear friend named Teddy and this is how I created my first main character. Before this event, I also had a blue teddy bear named Dakpows and he is my first teddy bear I got. Then, I got another teddy bear but this time is color brown. I named it Brownbear based on the color of Teddy from Mr. Bean. His attitude is like Mr. Bean and he has a stuffed toy friend with an anonymous name. Another thing about the characters of the show, Mr. Bean also has a girlfriend named Irma, and this is how I created my second main character. Then, I received more cute white stuffed bears. I named them Aqua, Vanessa, Aqua's sister, and James, Brownbear's brother. How about my last character? I just searched for more toys and figurines and I finally found one figurine that looks like a German Shepherd. I named Doggie as my last main character.
One or two years after I created my main characters, I received more stuff toys, which I can named and created more of my characters. I created like 34 or more characters. This is one of my best childhood year before. I do roleplay of my main characters, my minor characters, and some crossover characters from Disney, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and more with the help of my younger sister who supported my creation. I used to create Brownbear's house and do the roleplay during my first and second summer vacation.
When I was in third grade, this is the year I started making a plan for the theme and plot of my creation. The first theme I created is when my characters were in a ninja school since I was a little bit inspired by the game I played on my PlayStation Portable (PSP) which is the games from Naruto. The plot is about their ninja stories and flashbacks. Then, I started planning for my future website, more like a game website and a fandom website. My classmates in my third grade draw and scribble their characters, cartoons and anime, and on their notebooks and I joined them by having a notebook for me to draw my characters. This is a good year of running my creation.
On my fourth grade, I still continued the plan of my creation, running. I kept my archive from last year. I was thinking that I can make a movie of my creation so I drew some movie posters of my franchise, also my future children's book covers. I drew 13 for movie posters while I didn't remember the number of book covers. I remembered some drawings that was like a scene of my story, more like a storyboard. I also remembered that some franchise plots were created with some ripoff of some children's books, including the conflict and plot of the story. I also started creating short stories of my characters.
On my fifth grade, another new year starts. I met some unfamiliar classmates since I haven't them few years ago in my school. I started continuing my creation again. Then, one classmate who was my classmate on my first and second grade started making comics so I joined him too, and also my other classmate who was not in my class last elementary years. Our comics we created were so mature that they were a lot of gore, sex jokes, and some adult contents. I include my characters in their comics. Some were mature while almost all were general, some were from a little inspiration or ripoff of some children's books and stories and also some parodies of cartoon shows. This is the year I changed another theme. Not anymore the ninja school stories. The theme was an inspiration of Avatar, a show on Nickelodeon that has 4 elements but in my creation is 10 elements. This is one of my glory years since it is my best year. My class used to read our comics and started creating fanarts of our comics. Some were a ripoff and inspiration of some famous shows and films.
I promoted to sixth grade, which was my saddest year since my classmates from my fifth grade were from different class. This is when my creation is about to fade, meaning that it is about to die. I just stopped drawing since it is my busy year. This is the year when I started writing my first novel but it's not yet finished and also failed. Why? Because my novel is like Disney musical and it turns out terrible. This is when I got my own tablet from my uncle. I downloaded games and some random stuffs on my tablet like Minecraft and some Pokemon games.
After I graduated elementary, I spent my summer vacation using my tablet. I just got bored at home, nothing to do something that can reduce my boredom. I connected with an internet so that I can do Googling some random stuffs. I used to remember before fourth grade that I used my characters to play as my children while me and my younger sister played as parents. Being curious of what I thought from the past, I search it with Google. By the time I searched, it came out with cute anthropomorphic baby animals wearing babyish stuff such as diaper, pacifier, overalls, onesie, bonnet, and any other clothing. They called it "babyfur." What does babyfur means? I searched for its definition and it says that anthropomorphic animal cubs act as a baby. The babyfur pictures were so cute that I can't really imagine it inside my head, so I downloaded almost all the pictures. These pictures can reduce my stress and manage my anger due to its cuteness, making me feel calm and normal. It mostly found on DeviantArt, a website where all arts were posted through imaginations, inspirations and creativity.
After my summer vacation, I became my freshman, a seventh grade student and a junior high school student. New classmates, batch mates and new life changed everything. This year is one of the stressful year I experienced since more projects, performance task, quizzes, and tests are one of the biggest chance to pass the subject. This is the year that I revived my creation thanks to the projects that deals with drawing. How? I used babyfur pictures as my references of my drawing and I became a self-taught artist. When I first draw my character, it was cartoonish and funny but I will try to improve if I keep practicing. I really like cartoonish characters since I'm a fan of Disney and other cartoons. I have a friend who was my classmate on my fifth grade about the Five Nights at Freddy's game and this gave me an idea in order for me to do a fanart practice sketch. Also the year that I created a babyfur character which is a fox and I added her to my creation. During my Christmas break, my family visited my grandparent's house from my father's side before New Year's Eve. During the stay, I started making another theme, which became my third time to make another one. The theme was a little inspiration of my sibling's novels like Divergent, Mortal Instruments, The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter. Combining to all into one, it became the new theme of my creation. It is not a ripoff nor a spin-off but I created through a lot of inspirations. This is how I created The Five Symbols, including the names of those. After the end of my year of being a freshmen, I started compiling a portfolio of my drawing. I lost my portfolio of drawings from my elementary years, making me not to compare my progress.
On my eighth grade, another year of my junior high school student. About the theme, The Five Symbols, I just changed the names of the symbols since it is not really that good to hear. There is a project that you will create a notebook made out bondpapers. I made four notebooks as a project for my subject. After, I used as my notebook of my creation. Few days or weeks later, I used them to draw my characters, themes, and other random stuffs for my future plan. I remembered when I was drawing in my notebook, my classmate snatched my notebook, taking a look at it. I felt nervous about it but a moment later, he liked it. He said that I should create more. This is the year when they spread my creation. They called my made-up name "Brownbear" and I just liked it a little bit. They also told me to collect all my drawings to submit to the Disney company. I also liked that idea since it is part of my dream. When I searched for more babyfur pictures on DeviantArt, there is nothing new, so I decided to search more on Google. Almost all the pictures were in one website, FurAffinity. When I go to that website, there are full of anthropomorphic animals. Mostly are their made-up characters, and it is a furry website. What does furry means? When I searched the definition of furry, it says that the character you've created is an anthropomorphic animal. If you're a furry, you should have an original character, or OC for short. Mostly were foxes, wolves, and sometimes hybrid. This is the year I joined Furaffinity and DeviantArt. I used those website for downloading more furry art for more references. Then, this is also the year that I wanted to do commissions but I can't since I don't have a PayPal account, or a credit card. This is added to my future plans: To join the furry fandom, have my own website, PayPal account and credit card, to submit all my works to Disney company, and to write my own books. I considered this year as my year full of goals and dreams. Before the end of my school, a new Disney movie was now showing in my country titled "Zootopia." This makes me wanna start making fanart of that movie. It became one of my most favorite Disney movie ever.
I promoted to ninth grade which is my most pressured year because I was one of the PILOT class, a class full of intelligent people. This is one of my busiest years of junior high school since most of my subjects were difficult. Also, most of my classmates are very intelligent and I just have few friends here in my class. Most of my friends were from different class. This is the year that I started writing my first full story, changing everything from my sixth grade. The theme is the combination of fantasy and adventure, a little bit of romance since my two main characters were a couple, and musical. This is also the year that I am more active in DeviantArt than before. I also brought my notebooks from last year full of drawings of my characters and stories. Then, my classmates wanted to see my drawings. They said that it was improved than before, just like twenty-five percent. This is the year I cancelled my babyfur character. During the exchanging gifts before the start of Christmas break, my classmate gave me a Faber-Castell wax crayons as a present, which make me happy since the gift was wrapped with my character Brownbear and this present can help me do the coloring of my drawings.
One year after my ninth grade of junior high school which was not my best year due to my difficult subjects, my friends are here once again from my seventh and eighth grade. It is my tenth year before I move up to senior high school. I continued drawing on my bunch of notebooks and then, my classmates take a look of my drawings and praise me for my creation. They made me more happy because they wanted me to submit to the Disney company, also when my classmates will have a family in the future, his or her children will praise my creation in Disney. Well, this is my inspiration when I watched Zootopia a few times. Dreams are getting more bigger than before this year. This is the year I joined Arts Club. After my Christmas break, I got my only own sketch book from my classmate as a Christmas present and she said that you should create more with my sketch book. Also, I had my own laptop with a touchscreen monitor and a new phone from my uncle and I thanked him very much for these things I need for my year. I finished writing the first book titled "Brownbear Adventures: Brownbear Beginning" and started writing the sequel titled "Brownbear Adventures 2: The Lost Island" on Wattpad since before I referred everything I wrote last ninth grade about my first book. I joined Wattpad after my ninth grade and my username is @TheFiveSymbols, if you have a Wattpad account. This is one of my best year I ever had in my life. I started compiling my drawings from my junior high school years and stored in a secret place. This is the year I got awards, 1st Honors in Academics, and Loyalty Award for being here in my school from kindergarten to junior high school, on my moving up ceremony.
During my summer vacation after my junior high school years, I started improving my art style by practicing the style of my drawing and coloring, also I started practicing using my own watercolor and paint brushes I bought at the mall. Then, I started drawing more fanarts that were related to furries or anthros. I almost filled the pages of my sketch book with my drawings. Also, this is my year I started doing my first digital art on my laptop that my uncle gave it to me last year and I practiced doing the coloring and sketching since I don't have my own pen and tablet to do digital art.
After my summer vacation, this is the year I became a senior high school student. This is the year I drew the anniversary art of my characters.
