this day last year i posted my first oc and canon thing so i decided to redraw it

sappy yap session incoming

god my art style has changed so much 😭 i remember posting this on instagram alongside a drawing of me and my friends and i just hid it in the second slide being like ermm.. no one’s gonna see it hahaha..

when i started posting ani i was so nervous people were gonna be like “clef wouldn’t have another daughter he couldn’t even raise one, you’re mischaracterising him” and so far no one has said that. like. ever. 😭 i was worried about the stupidest things. and yeah i still feel cringe about it sometimes but i realised it’s not that deep, if you have an oc that makes you happy go ahead and post them, who cares if it’s cringe or you think no one’s gonna like it. because i thought that too and now i have so many lovely mutuals who like my oc and have made incredible art of her. i honestly never thought id get here, i can’t believe ani has made it out of the imaginary worlds in my mind and become an actual. thing. like that’s so crazy to me. it just goes to show that if you step out of your comfort zone you can do things you never imagined doing. like last year i would have NEVER had the courage to even post my oc let alone start cosplaying, interacting with other scp fans, and having my own platform with people that actually follow me ?? and like my stuff ?!?!

anyway. idk where this is going but. the point is im so grateful and i appreciate you all that follow me and like my silly anime girl oc. you all motivate me to wanna do bigger and better things this coming year. you’re all incredible and i hope you have a great christmas and an even better 2025 <3

[Happy 18th Birthday]

Drew this for my birthday! And not just any birthday, but one where I become an adult (which is crazy to think about)!!!

I kind of want to make it a tradition to make a birthday design of Crossfire (or at least utilize said birthday design in some way)

For the crowd behind Crossfire, on the left are Crossfire’s friends (in ARMS: NEO DESTINY) and on the right are some of my online bestie (@petrock42clone)’s ARMS OCs ^^

I had a lot of fun drawing this (especially with all the colors and such). I’m also planning on making a speedpaint of this drawing and uploading it to YouTube ^^

Credits

Program Used: FireAlpaca (I used Ibis Paint to sketch it out) Device Used: GAOMON PD1161 (I used an iPhone 13 Pro Max for the sketch) Time Taken: 4 Hours and 3 Minutes altogether

Honestly it’s a wild ride I’m on so far, but I’m glad I’m able to make the most of it (and I still have the rest of the journey to go). As for internet years, it’s been over 4 years since I joined the internet and honestly I feel like I have grown a lot as a person (from the first day I joined DeviantART to now).

I’ve had my interests shift, I had some friends and inspos come and go, but the most important thing is that I’m still here with some of the coolest people I have met (even if we haven’t seen each other irl). Honestly I kind of struggled making friends growing up and I didn’t maintain them for long due to my family moving a lot.

The internet really helped me out with maintaining friendship (and is actually home to some of my longest lasting friendships). Not to mention it was so much easier to find people who shared interests ^^

Honestly looking back, I consider my past to be a learning experience. I may have made mistakes, but I either run from them or learn from them (honestly I’m still trying to unlearn to run away from my past mistakes and struggles since I have a bad habit of that).

Of course this is only the start of my art career as one of my biggest goals for 2025 is to open up art commissions ^^
