Colorful Inspirations

Description

A birthday present for KicsterAsh, who's imagination and ideas have become a great inspiration to me.

A magnificent artist and writer, she's the active and devoted person I've always wanted to be. Her drawings are smooth, simple and colourful. Her writing is fun, engaging and beautiful. She knows how to make our favorite characters live through conflicts without taking away their personality. She knows how to make her own ideas and concepts live and thrive.

She knows how to be herself, and I admire her for that.

For the longest time, I've been writing and drawing stories of characters I'd see on TV or characters I'd create on my own. And for the longest time, I've been too shy to show any of it.

Ash is an inspiration to me because she does what she does for fun and has helped me realize something. I was always afraid my style would be too cartoony and too simple for most folks, which drove me to set myself goals I would, quite honestly, never achieve.

Whenever I saw a piece from a renown artist, I thought to myself, "Hey, this is super awesome and neat! I'll draw like that one day!"

But, what I've come to realize is this: no matter how sparkly, detailed and awesome a piece is, it doesn't mean I should strain myself to draw something that simply does not fit my style. I like cartoons, and I like to draw them too. I like to do this for fun. It only took one person to make me realize that.

Ash, I know we haven't met and haven't really talked to each other personally, but I wanted to let you know the impact you've had on me. I think that you're a wonderful person and that you very much deserve the credit you've been receiving. Your drawings push me to improve in the style that suits me best, and your stories make me wonder why I stopped doing something I liked. You have talent, and I'm happy to see you use it.

So here is a tribute to you, your characters, and your stories. The things you've done with your own creations as well as those of others are simply outstanding. Keep going, and never give up. I would personally love to see your books published one day, and I certainly can't wait for that day to come.

I hope the best for you, and happy birthday! :cake:
I just hope I've done your characters justice! :heart:
