Oh my goodness! My time posting on FA has reached double digits. And my duck version of myself is still cheering me on as well as posing despite a little embarrassment for this particular drawing.

As I go forward just I want to thank, as I do every week in my journals, the people who watch, fave, comment, and view my posts. Seeing that people are watching what I do gives me the drive to keep drawing knowing that I’m not inflicting things on people as it sometimes felt before this journey, but that folks are willingly clicking on my drawings to see them.

There are a few who I want to especially thank for their early support, advice, and friendship, that kept me excited in the beginning or inspired me to stretch into certain things.

 helixthefallen was the first person to help me navigate the website here, and an encouraging voice of reason that also tempered my excitement and reminded me to just draw for me. Thank you for welcoming me to the site and giving me early boosts whether you realized you were doing it or not. He was also the first tiger that I ever drew.

 theonelump convinced me to try out art or treat this year despite me feeling like I was absolutely not prepared for it. Because of that I have met new people that have helped me even further in my skills. That and he has inspired some of my cutest art pieces like https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58814612/ and https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59136146/ as well as a few that were gifts for him which I never posted to the page.

 ace has been open and free with advice on drawing, as well as also keeping me from doing things that would cause me to burn out whenever I suggested drawing madness early on.

 Alphasempaiwolviesyxx is my inspiration to have been working alot on anatomy in drawings, as well as making occasional randomly rolled creatures/creations lately. I suppose I should say I always wanted to get better at anatomy, but snags is the one who got me in the direction of some excellent resources for drawing both humans and birds, which combine together into Trellian.

I have drawn inspiration from others that I haven’t mentioned here, mainly because though they inspired some of the creations I’ve posted here (  Ihza , batty,  mewies ) They haven’t been there for the sage advice or resources even if I greatly enjoy the art for/of/based on them I’ve done.

Anyway, this is a long post. I wish everyone the best day, and if you’re not having the best day then don’t worry. Trellian is cheering you on too!

Sincerely
Trellian Duck
