1. Mythz Even before you became a Rise artist I have many great interactions with you, I've loved watching your art develop and can't wait to see where you go from here!
2. Ezai Not gonna lie the pictures you post of your dog often is what keeps me checking the discord, watching them grow up has been adorable. You're also always ready to help and answer any questions and have helped me more time then I can count.
3. Dia. I don't even know where to start here, through so many things we've seen you hold out and even now I admire your courage and adoration. Don't ever give up.
4. Raincloud the 33rd You Rise count down lists have kept me on track for this community probably more than anything else. Not only that but watching your art change over time and having some myself has been wonderful and I'll always be excited to see more.
5. Thunder I honestly have no idea how you get the facial expressions in the drawings you do, but I love them so please never stop.
6. Denja You have seen how soft their art is right? Because it has been my goal since I joined Rise to get one of there cats and it's because of the beautiful softness of them. I could only hope to maybe someday get close to drawing cats this way.

Myself. I just got a puppy and this is my first time raising one fully by myself and no matter what others say or what I might think at times I am doing a good job. She is learning, she is exploring and she's as happy as could be, I'm not failing.

Placebo - Place's kitters and doggos are super cool and realistic looking, I'd love to be able to design or even art like them one day. Besides, it's always fun to read their chats with anyone in the community, just amusing. XD
Neah - Neah is fun to be around and they're real good at cat genes, you rock, man! You can trust them to have an ear to hear you out in need or cheer you up. Hail the corn.
Ezai - I admire Zai's determination through all their hardships and yet appreciate them still sticking around to make cats in their free time at their own pace. I feel like a lot of people forget how hard being an artist can be and that they too have a life to tend to.
denja - I simply adore denja's soft children. Patterns like smoke or shaded, anything airbrushed looks really gentle and I'm into it. X3
Ki-neko - Ki makes crazy cool and fancy mood boards! Love their combination choices and their designs are pretty as well. Besides, they are nice to talk to.^^

Me: I really like the fact that Rise made me get a little back into art again and a few of my favorite pieces actually originated from it. Even though I never managed to win a cat I made art of, I'm still glad those pieces exist. Besides, Rise taught me how to create weebly pages. Make things look half-decent.
