Cause everyone else seems to be doing it ;P

I joined dA back on September 9th 2007 (when I was 13 years old) and I met up with a lot of friendly people including :iconepiclyawesomeprussia:, :iconspd243:, :iconmightymorg:, :iconeszies-eszie:, :iconsanderg:, :iconbubblyfoxy:, :iconryanwolfseal: and many more :D These people remain my best dA friends to this day! :heart:

Back then I was mainly using Microsoft Paint and, shamefully, uploading Sonic recolours ^^; However once they were getting removed from dA I was FINALLY getting the clue that recolours are just WRONG. So then I started drawing my own artwork on Paint producing some pretty horrible stuff x3; I started off by creating Kira (who is now my main Sonic character!) Back then she was merely a purple Sonic with blue eyes and pink stripes on her quills XDD; Oh god, do I feel embarrassed... >//////<



During my second/third year here on dA, :iconbubblyfoxy: showed me Paint SAI and how to use the Edit Tool which later on became my best friend! x3 It's all thanks to her that I started learning how to draw neatly compared to my Microsoft Paint/Sketchbook Pro days! This was one of the first images I drew on Paint SAI... *blushes*



As the years went on I met even more friends including :iconpiinkmittens:, :iconxxendlessdaydreamsxx:, :iconhoshiikaru: and once again MANY MORE. I learned of their interests in Sonic and we soon all ended up talking to each other on Skype! (which we do practically every day now ;P)

From meeting up with these people I learned much about their likes/dislikes and even introduced them all to new video game series! For :iconryanwolfseal: I introduced him to Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank. For :iconpiinkmittens: Ratchet and Clank and for :iconxxendlessdaydreamsxx: Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper XD As for :iconhoshiikaru:, she helped introduce me into new animes like Wolf Children/Black Butler/Uta No Prince-Sama ^^

During these years my best real life buddies :iconchocolatekisses123: and :iconhyper-knux: have always stuck by me :hug: :heart: and it's all because of :iconhyper-knux: that I learned all about the Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank series (so as you can imagine I owe her a LOT!) and me and :iconchocolatekisses123: have been buddies since the very beginning! (meaning the first year of High School!)

I am currently 20 years old and am now drawing a lot of Ratchet and Clank artwork along with my standard Sonic art ;3 I now use a tablet and the Pen Tool on Paint SAI instead of the Mouse and Curve Tool, I find it much easier now x3 Now I can produce things like this instead~!



You all have supported me through this time and I am very grateful! And I hope to remain on dA for as long as possible! ;w;

Love you guys~!

Oh and below is work which other artists have drawn and have inspired me most~!
