proud on you girl <3

Congrats on such a huge milestone. I never got your first wig but numbers 2 and 3 I was glad to own.

woah that's A LOT!! Congrats love!!!! You rock! n-n

sending lots of love your way!!!! <3

Congrats to your milestone! That's awesome!

I must say...1000... Damn. That's outstanding. I, too, remember when you first started out. I can't say if I still own them as my taste changes but I always loved your creations. You were so lovely to me and did a little art for my pet.

You have always been so kind and generous. Can't wait to see you broaden your horizon.

Congratulations, that is a huge achievement of it's own. I will be sad to see less of your beautiful work.. but none the less you deserve a break ;) <3

1000 unique items? Wow.. W O W

I regularly check both of your lists to see what's new and what i've missed, but i never thought it was that much!

I've said before that you are my favorite and artist.. and now congrats on the most beautiful collection of custom wears! Woo-hoo! :)*

Congrats hon! That is an amazing milestone

So happy to hear you will be branching out from CWs! If you don't mind I would LOVE to see some of the things you come up with. 1000 CWs is a crazy insane milestone! Congratulations! To see how far you have progressed in so short of time with CWs alone is just AMAZING! I know you will progress just as quickly in other styles. And I think the best part is you won't have to worry about working around weird crazy HA ankles when it comes to your own art. ❤️❤️❤️

omg...way to go sweetie! that is just amazing!! woohoo!!

I always have wondered if you'd do or have done anything other than cws for your personal work and would love to see what you come up with. If you ever need any help/crit, I'd be glad to give you some on anatomy and whatnot. That's super incredible how many CWs you've made in the 3 years you started. Definitely give you props! Good luck with everything of course and hope to see some lovely work soon!

Congrat on hitting 1000! This is indeed quite the accomplishment. You improved so much over the years, it's been so interesting seeing you grow as an artist like that.

I'm really looking forward to see what you do in the future! It's a good thing to want to move forward, to know when to 'call it a day' and work forward instead of sticking to your comfort zone. I wish you good luck on pursuing those new goals c:

Congratulations on 1000 CWs on site~!! ^u^ I'll really miss your style CWs then! :o

Congrats on 1k, ! That's huge o: Wish I could have been quick enough to get another commission from you, but even without CW's I hope to still see you around once in a while! Looking forward to seeing your future works~ <3

OMG that's amazing! Congratulations!

I'm glad to know my shameless addiction has even slightly fueled your journey to this exciting milestone! And I can't wait to see what the future brings!

I can't believe it's a 1000, that's huge! I imagine there are few buyers of custom wears who don't have one of your items in their wardrobes that they cherish, I know I do. You really have made some great stuff.

It's not like you're going away so it feels silly to say, but I'll do it anyway~ Lots of luck with your next endeavors/adventures! ❤

Wow, that's really impressive! And look how far you've come since that first CW! That's an incredible difference. I always enjoy seeing your CWs in the New CW thread, so I'll miss seeing that, but you definitely deserve a break after 1k+ CWs. I do hope you'll be willing to show us some of your regular art, though!

@ far noms on the poutine What are you working on? ;o I'll cheer you on!

@ spartacus aw thank you! Don't worry, I'll still be around! Plus I intend to work on more backgrounds since they fall into the 'not really cws' type of art. I'd love ot improve that part of drawing where I can understand depth and perspective much better n_n

@ thanatoast thank youu! n_n (ps i love your username!)

@ tserel thank you! I don't know if it's that much of a 'mini' event but all the best, I know people like to get distracted by events anyhow haha

@ hamda omg if I could, I swear! But while my field is -similar- (im in graphic design), I don't think I could really justify putting cws in my professional resume, sadly ;;;;

@ lina ahahah they're funny, right? xD I remember when the milk bun was approved, I almost cried! I had spent over a week fiddling over, asking people for help, trying to understand the denials and generally being stumped by them! I'm not quite sure I'll make it to 2000 items buuuuut I'll definitely add a few hundreds over the time, im sure!

@ coraline I won't disappear completely, I promise! I would like to offer non-cw art at some point, perhaps adoptables and ready-made characters (: And I'll still be drawing cws for friends here and there n_n (Honestly if it were just me, I'd keep drawing cws. But I feel like hitting the 1000th mark is a good time/excuse to say 'yes, I made it. Now let's work on something new')

@ cassidy thank you so much! I'm glad people can notice the progress too! I know I've stuck with the same style since the beginning, but I'm glad that I was still able to shift it around gradually to fine-tune it!

@ cutie ohhhhh so you do remember me quietly sobbing over the denials ahaha! I couldn't find the file that had my first ever sketches (ones that never actually made it to a finished overlay) but it's quite funny - they're so bad it's laughable lol

@ cardamom actually yes at some point, I'd love to open a non-cw art shop! It'll likely be adoptables and ready-made chars at first, but it's definitely in my plans (: (& thank you again for the little sticker! n_n )

@ sweet Thank you! Lots and lots of time! And funnily, sometimes I thought I'd drawn far less than 1000, other times far more ;o

@ crab thank youuuu! I'll be opening a non cw-art shop one day! Or generally just drawing chibis and all! (And dont worry, I'll still be drawing cws here and there!)

@ arwen Thank you so much dear! n_n

@ wesker Thank you! It really depends on what I'm doing, and it's deeefinitely faster than before, but let's go with the typical scenario! I'll usually sit down and open a bunch of blank HAs - it'll take me about an hour to roughly sketch 8-15 pieces (I'll toss 2-3 of those because they wont be satisfying enough). Lining will typically take anywhere from 15 mins to an hour. Shading a wig currently takes 10-25 mins (it used to take over an hour and a half, a long time ago!) And finally, it'll be around an hour to sketch, line and shade the CI (because im so slow at those ;_________; )

And to reply, I am a fulltime graphic designer (: I just happen to have no social life, which means I get to draw a few hours every night + during weekends!

@ hunger thank youu! I'm super excited for this event too!

@ Ursa don't be shy! If you have any questions / want to ask for tips, feel free to comment me -- I would love to see your art!

@ alenwen ahah I sadly suffer from the 'man I suck at art' syndrome like most people, even with 1000 cws drawn! But im working towards really improving n_n

@ reaper Thank you dear! I was actually surprised when I counted it off too! I counted the number of total cws in the past (which was over 1.75 back then) since it's easier to count in rows. I didn't know that even individually, it was that high though!

@ anianowak Thank you! And backgrounds are still part of my plans! Those require more knowledge of depth and perspective, two things I'm not that great at. While I'll be working on a wide range of things, you can still expect backgrounds to pop out as collabs with my bf n_n

@ retro thank you dear!

DOES THIS MEAN WE ARE BOTH CW VETERANS? Man that feels like such a long time ago!

don't worry, 1000 cws later and I still can't draw a duck either LOL (But hey, that's why I'm putting cws aside - to learn how to properly draw a duck! Better late than never!)

thank you! n_n

thank you! (And I got your mail, I'll try to send the recolors tonight or tomorrow!)

Awww thank you so much! I'll still be drawing cws for friends + releasing things here and there, don't worry! I don't think i could outright stop drawing cws, I'd miss it wayyyy too much (and let's face it, I'll probably be super discouraged by my regular art sometimes - and then I'll need to draw a cw, something that is within my comfortable zone n_n )

omg you doooo? I lost the files when I lost my harddrive years ago, sadly. I thought about doing a revamped version of it, 2016 style! I don't know if it'd look too different since that shading is far from the one I do right now - but maybe? ;o

awww you still have those wifey! ❤️ Remember when we did those radioactive ponytails and the staff kept denying them! It was such a small streak of color and they wouldn't accept it. Now people put streaks everywhere! I wanna make you proud!

aw thank you so much! It feels like those wigs were so long ago but I remember drawing them still n_n

thank youuuu! -hugs-

thank you! n_n

congrats, that's pretty darn amazing. <3
