Thank you very much for this small but very important, personal milestone that I reached in these days. I never thought to get this far in less than a year I am here on NG and consider that my activity increased a lot after I passed most of the exams I had to do this year (there are still a few, but the most part is done). The fact that 100 people decided to follow this silly profile in which I try to use, combine and experiment different styles and touch various artistic topics really motivates me to improve even more and work to see different realities.

I admit that what makes me really happy is not the number, views or faves per se a submission, that I make, can get but the recognition of my effort in what I do via cool comments I see. When I see people notice the effort and want to take time to express this, well this makes me truly happy because even a single comment that points out this repays me for the time, effort and money I spend to make art. So to those people who notice this, I thank you all from the deep of my heart! You truly make my day!

Of course people are not obliged to interact with me nor to comment or fave, I am not like a certain person I met on DA back in 2016 who constantly required her followers to comment on almost every single post or piece she posted. This really drained my mental energies but thankfully my friends and I cut ties with this person long ago.

Naturally I won't always be active since real life can keep me away from this site but for now I want to cherish the time with you guys, the community and the site itself because I can manage to balance offline and online time.

100 people are 100 different worlds, thoughts, emotions and feelings that decided to interact with me in a way or other, and I find this quite fascinating. Fans are not numbers but people who have hopes and dreams. The title of the journal echoes line 454 of Terence’s Phormio.

Asides from this happy event, I am also happy that I managed to finish in time my works for the Brazilian contest despite I am dealing with some stress no one asked for caused by my father. I thank my friends, this site and art if I am coping in a constructive way this extremely annoying stress that I want to end on legal terms (I won't go into details but let's just say I am dealing with a bastard for a month and a half thanks to my father's irresponsible behaviour). Brazilian contest helped me to create many works in a few time and with different styles but this month also allowed me paint with MS Paint for the first time in a serious manner and some funny and cool forum threads made me have fun with silly draws like the "Draw a face on Gengar". I posted only this submission in the thread:

But I want to share here other faces I want to put on one of my favourite Ghost type Pokemon:

It was funny to be silly and try different faces XD

I am also finishing a quick drawing as way to thank the person who gifted me the Support status, thank you! It was a nice surprise to be able to promote an artwork for the Tuesday Takeover and I can't wait for tomorrow to promote another artwork. Like I said I prefer to promote others rather than me but I don't mind if people want to promote themselves, they have the right to do if their work is done with effort and creativity. Here the sneak peek of the drawing:

This is a thing I always liked to do, even when I was on DA and someone gifted me a Premium membership. I like to thank those who make my day with a small drawing, it's a personal policy of mine when I am online.

After the Brazilian contest I will take an artistic break from participating in other contests or collabs because I want to recharge energies with personal pieces and I want to finish works for collabs I am already in. The Great Homer collab is doing great, I see many awesome and creative pieces in the forum thread and I know what to draw for my 8th Homer. Sadly I am reaching the end of my Homers but it was fun as heck nonetheless. Soon I will continue the ugly cat collab and after I recharged myself enough I will continue the cool OCtober challenge made by Oddlem.

So that's all for now, again thank you 100 people who decided to follow me, you are amazing and keep rocking! See you next time!
