Description

I think its important for me to post this sketch here, as i had 2 panic attacks while drawing her and almost gave up completely. My heart is still beating like crazy! This oc has become even more important to me after recent events, and i do not want those to make me feel sick about drawing her. I need to push through it and tell myself its ok. 

One major thing i have learnt through this ordeal is, never treat anyone like i was treated. It was possibly the worst thing in my adult life (apart from loosing pets and friends and family) that has happened, and well and truly almost had me quit digital art for good. I have really been able to witness the most horrid things from people, but more importantly, the most amazing, kind and supportive side of people, which was really the light at the end of the tunnel for me. Its thanks so everyone of you that send me a note or comment, no matter how huge or small it was, every single one helped me and gave me a little bit of courage and a smile back. I feel like this Oc is now a representation of what i've been through and every time i draw her i'll be reminded of what happened, but its not going to stop me doing what i love! 

I want people to be able to come to me, to ask questions or just talk about anything they feel they need to or even show me art you have draw, whether it be for me or your just really proud of it! Even if it takes a month of Sundays for me to get back to you, i want you all to know i'm always here to return the love and support that was shown to me! The thing about popularity and being popular is 90% of people that do become popular forget half the reason they got there is because of their followers. Without your support to keep artists going this world would be very bland and boring. 

I don't know how much, if any, personal work ill get done for the remainder of the year as im trying to get all owed art finished so i can start a new year with no worries and stress! Ill try and stream sometime this week for you guys as well, so keep an eye out from my new stream artwork, which is made by the awesome Scratchbite (its of Eddie holding a "streaming" Sign )

I will defiantly finish this one, hoping to do it in the more painted style too with glowing parts!

Can't wait to see her colored. You've certainly outdone yourself on the lineart! I'm glad this girl is going to be a source of strength for you now. You've survived and so has she and you have lots of fantastic and loving people supporting you too. <3

Thank you so much! Ill clean this up, and maybe re-line her as this is only the rough sketch. And me too, shes kinda grown into a little beacon of hope for me and its making me feel a lot better! Its been amazing to have all this support, i never thought so many people liked my work, it was just amazing!

I'm glad to hear your starting to feel better, I know from personal experience how horrible panic attacks can be. I've been lucky enough not to have them for going on a year now but they definitely left they're scars. Anyways keep fighting against those obstacles life throws at you and I can't wait to see this finished.
