hey, thanks ^^ (I left before 2013, so I wouldn't know any of the new members here XD)

really? I honestly didn't know I'd be well known here XD I just figured no one would really remember me (and most of my friends from here have moved on as well, so it's actually a shock to see people still on here)

to be honest, I only got back into drawing anthro late last year XD I didn't draw anthro from 2013-most of 2014, but after joining another fandom with animals, it gave me more motivation to draw animals ^^ so I just practice whenever I can. And since I still have some friends who like Redwall, this also gives me an chance to draw Redwall again XD

aww, don't feel discouraged about being younger than me and stuff; when I first joined back in 2009, I was so inexperienced, I had no idea what to do. But after learning some drawing tips from other artists, I was able to improve greatly, and the motivation and inspiration from my friends kept me going ^^ so I'm actually honored to be an inspiration, even when most of my art posted here is really outdated XD (I'm still improving on drawing different animal species. Photo references are really great for drawing different types of animals) so don't be afraid to try out new things, and ask for tips ^^

from what I've noticed, I'm probably one of the very few people from the original group of other well known Redwall wiki artists that came back (to be honest, the main reason why I left was because the site updates got way too complicated and slow on my old computer, which still had dial-up at the time of my departure) oh, and my stories are actually ones I'm rather proud of; mostly my Random Redwall story on DA and the Ruin of Marshank story Meeks and I were writing ^^

and thank you ^^ My fandoms are pretty great if you find the right people to go to (if you're curious enough, you can join them too XD) which also reminds me, I might end up writing a sequel to Random Redwall Tale, but it'd be a huge crossover with my other fandoms (so it'd be Redwall with a bunch of other fandoms in the mix) however, because it'd be a crossover, it'd have to be a DeviantART only story, since the rules here are Redwall strict (it is the Redwall wiki of course)

I use an intuos4 wacom tablet (medium) and the program I use is paintool sai (very good for drawing if you know how to use layers)

and thanks again for the message ^^ it really brings a smile to my face ^^
