Can I just say that I am really proud of all of you artists? The perseverance to push through adversity no matter the hardships youre dealing with, be it health, financially, or simply finding a purpose; it is all really inspiring to me personally. Every single time I see a new artist and a new medium or composition of art and styles, I get so elated to realize that you're all so unique in your own different ways. I'm genuinely really happy you guys still find the strength to draw despite what seemingly, many of what the rest of the world says about human creation. And believe me, there are so many who oppose or want to find a shortcut to drawing.
You might not see it now, but you are empowering what an artist truly is. You push people like me, to want to make a change for the better. By picking up that pen or stylus you are inching towards your own path to greatness; you are doing the world a favor. And not only are you doing the world a solid, you are doing yourself a favor. Drawing something, ANYTHING, is one of the most beautiful and proudest accomplishments you can ever prosper from your own hard work and efforts. Before this, I didn't know how to draw. Yet, you inspired me to unironically, pick up a pencil and try.
It's a bit funny because I'm actually tearing up writing this down. You all mean so much to me.
If you've reached here, I guess this is also a good time to say that I'll be back soon from my deployment. I can't tell you when, but you'll know. And when I'm home, I will do my utmost hardest to provide each artist, each LEGITIMATE artist, an opportunity to be featured here like the good old times. Because I do feel somewhat guilty being called artist reccs, but the only artists are only shared on one platform. Someone once called me skebreccs, which while I find it funny, does make me think that it's unfair for the rest of y'all. Especially since I want to make a change in a global aspect.
Lastly, I want to thank each and every single artist out there as you strive to be the very best version of yourself, and I am honored to share this platform and to witness such peak creativity coming out of your minds. I know I'm just a random netizen, but please understand that you are all so important.
Don't quit. Take a break if you have to. You're a human being in the end, not a robot. Please continue to draw.
