this is cool! simple, but cool!
also, what did you mean by
Dont wanna be a bucket of paint brushes forever :P

That's the default icon lol. My friend and I were joking bout how I needed to make an icon or else I would be "a bucket of paintbrushes forever", but since i couldnt decide on how my fursona was going to look, i edited some old sketches and made "Milestone"

Ahhh, i didn't think about that because i usually don't see the FA stock image (what I call the bucket of painbrushes) very much. just trying to understand, when you say "milestone" you mean like a celebration drawing to celebrate a milestone of some sort in your art?

In a way, yes. I drew this 3 years ago when I first moved back to the US (that's a very long personal story that maybe I will share later if I get to know you better ^.^). Not only was it the first thing I felt was of artistic worth, it was also inspired from a huge milestone in my life. It was the first time I felt empowered and free. Thanks for all the questions and showing interest... I guess i never realized how important this piece was to me until I had to explain it just now! haha

Yes i was right! *fistpumps* XD
I'd love to get to know you better! I like to know artists cause then their art affects me in a different way, and i like being able to understand how their life affects their art, and , and art affects their life!
Wow, that DOES sound like a big milestone!
Well i could see that you put plenty of work and thought into this the first time that I saw it, is I'm glad you realized that your feel it has an importance to you, and I'm glad that I helped you feel that way!
and about showing interest, I like looking at art, and truly DO take an interest in it, and hope to show that whenever I comment on someones work, that I am interested in their work, and that the things I say they will hopefully feel are pertinent to it :).
