Five years ago, I joined Deviantart under the name Heddy the Hedgehog. The name of course referred to a fanmade name I created for my love of the show “The Mysteries of Alfred the Hedgehog”, which sadly did not garner as much attention from the intended audience as it should have. I stumbled upon this show in my teen years and I got an odd attachment to its portrayed characters, they were just so cute. After looking online for more about these characters I discovered a community of artists that made fan art of the characters, and their art inspired me to join them. Within one week I uploaded my first deviation: A cringy portrayal of Alfred from the show. My reaction at the time of its completion was that of an excited 15 year old contributing his first piece to the massive community, and of course since my standards and skills at the time were very low I thought it was a great piece. Now, I completely think otherwise. After 5 (sort of) productive years, I thought I should look back to evaluate my progress. And of course, looking back to my first ever piece was what I had in mind. It’s amazing what five years can do to you.

I actually have a lot to be thankful for, especially to those that got me started in my drawing career. I personally want to thank AnnaTheWonderGirl01 for putting up with my cheesy drawings for a long time, and for being a kind and thoughtful friend over the years. I also owe it to: XUnlimited , kreazea who I remember went by the name “Zeevee” (if I remember correctly) at the time I first joined, NuMe-ONE , and Koru-ru . Thank you all for inspiring me and getting me started on this adventure, where I met such wonderful people along the way (i’m looking at you John XD) that encouraged me to become the artist I am today. And I know i’m not as good as you guys yet, but I am still impassioned to improve with every year that passes by. And hopefully, one day, I will actually join you all as an amazing artist. Much love. <3
