Description
This deviation is random fanart for a deviant I’ve never talked to, who’s gallery I’ve never been to before today, and who I’ve had no idea existed until today.People worry about doing art for money, doing art for fame, drawing something to kiss up to big name artist #5 or drawing something to become big name artist #5. We get so caught up in doing art FOR things we forget that sometimes you can just do art because you feel like it. And sometimes doing it for that reason can (hopefully) make someone else smile.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a famous artist or a kid who just bought their first crayolas, if you’re here and you make art, why not try making art for someone else for no other reason than you can and that it might make them happy?
Go into whatever category you like and find someone’s original character and draw them a fanart JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN. Doesn’t matter if the person has 200 page views or 2 million, doesn’t matter if everyone knows their name or they just joined today. Just browse, find a design you like and draw draw draw! Don’t pick someone you know or fanart for usually, this should be about a random act of kindness for someone you have no knowledge of beyond “I like that original character they drew!”
Make sure to put "PROJECT:HAPPY" somewhere in the deviation title so people can search for art that people have done just to make someone smile :3
Be respectful please and link back to the original and definitely let the original artist see your fanart!
This art is based off of this photo from 's gallery. [link] I love to draw lolita dresses and liked the idea of this project, so here's the result of that.
Happy "Project: Happy" Amish queen.

Thanks, that means a lot. The hair and the dress were the best to do. The curved smile adds that twisted feel, I think.

*Feels so touched*
I'm sorry I didn't get any of your messages before!!! I'm kind of spacy, so I may have missed it!!! Thank you so much, darling! Is there anything I can do for you in return? Seriously, if you want any sort of fanfiction, be sure to send me a message ^^

Its no big deal, really, sorry for sounding dramatic. I can be a queen sometimes. Communication error is common and I think I'm at fault. Who still uses notes, now, anyhow, ha. But really, it was a pleasure to do, and I had so much fun doing it. I've never given any free art out before or really done a fanart for anyone, so this was a first step into unknown seas.

Gah! My bestie has been drawded!
I happened to be on her page and saw your comment. I doubt she was ignoring you, and REALLY doubt she was offended. it takes her a while to answer messages. I'll be sure to send her a link. ^^
Anyway, this is really neat! I love your style! VERY cute. Also, I think this, "Project:Happy" is a neat idea. I think I'm going to join you in this!

We figured things out, and I'm glad, too. Communication errors is what happened here. I probably shouldnt have used a Note, they're so old-style dA. Next time I use profile posts. *makes a mental note to do so in the future*
And yes, Project: Happy is a wonderful thing, and I hope more people can become involved.
Thanks for liking the art, I spent a lot of time and effort on it, the dress especially. I love drawing lolita dresses. <3

Hahah, I don't think it was the note thing. ^^ She just wasn't online. When she did get on she was shocked and so very honored. Haha. BUt yeah, profile posts would probably be a better idea.
I'm definately going to do it! **has already chosen her first "victim". lol**
Oh yeah! It looks like it took a lot of time!
