My thanks for sticking with me: Pt 1[00]

Hey, been going through a lot of my, and the people I've interacted with's old art and interactions. And I realised that I didn't actually do that good or important celebrations for ask blog milestones. (I don't count adding exclamation marks to the title as celebration lol)

So, I want to give a proper thank you to all the people who have been with me for any amount of time. Whether this is your first post, or the 1400th post, I gladly thank you for being here with me.

For the next eight posts, I will be drawing a celebratory artwork of each hundred milestones of the ask blog, representing my growth as an artist, character designer, storyteller and writer. In each milestone, I will be including the characters that were present within ±2 blogs from the milestone, both by me and other askers, to the best of my ability.

And here is the first hundredth milestone. I was influenced by many people, including the friends I was making, Bananachicken09, CupofMapleSyrup, KillSans and Opal. I was still trying to find out both my style in art, but also what characters I want to make. Most of them were either overly simple or overly complicated, and I took a while to understand my niche. I will be honest, I have no idea why the askers stuck with me during this, as I was not good at storytelling or making art, but I am grateful that they did.

Below, you can see one of my older characters, Stain (Made on 2020/10/08). Fun fact, he's my first male character to wear a skirt (Not only, just first), which makes them pretty cute and special. At the hundred milestone, I revealed an "egg", basically a way to tease the release of one of my more complex-visual characters. Alongside Stain are two OC's by CupofMapleSyrup, Ice and I.S (Identity Stealer) as well as the representation of CupofMapleSyrup back then. All fascinating characters made by an amazing artist who has been getting only better and better at animations as well.

I will be honest, back then (and to a smaller extent, even now), I didn't fully get who Ice and I.S are, since the creator mainly focused on other characters, I have little that I know about them.

Why isn't this celebration on some special date or event (i.e: Christmas, new year, the 900th Ask blog), because I don't do things like others. I get to celebrate things when I want to, instead of waiting for some special time.
