today (march 2) is my birthday and i wanted to do a redraw of this (2024) for the occasion.
it was the second time i've ever got featured in my 10+ years being on the site and the first time a character i owned was featured so it's pretty special even if it's a little hard to look at for me at this point.

i feel like i finally managed to understand oekaki a decent amount this past year - to the point where using it is no longer a fight (for my life) but rather something pretty calming and therapeutic.

all in all, i never thought i'd make it this far, in more ways than in art progress. it had been... a hard year, perhaps one of the hardest so far but i'm still here, still eager to improve, still pushing on. still obsessed with silverclaw, who has 800+ drawings in her gallery at this point.

thank you if you've read my little rambling, if you ever left a nice little comment on something i made, if you followed me or even if we just had a nice interaction somewhere, somehow, i really appreciate all manners of kindness <3

also semi-unrelated but i drew silverclaw & lenore as a pony last year for my birthday and i'm still super proud of it and wanted to share it as well
