Aaah, man, it's been one hell of a year.

I've met some great people, lost some good friends, made bounds and strides in both academic and artistic endeavors, and went through some very emotional moments over the year, but I could honestly say that in the dead of night, when there was no one to talk to and nothing else to do, it was drawing some very poorly finished art that made my weekends all the better.

I'm not gonna lie, 'Buoyo/Faustisse' was more or less an experiment. While I had a nice network/connection deal going on on my previous account, I wanted to make a new start and see how much my skills have grown. At the moment, my previous account has +20k pageviews from over four years. This account has already reached about half in a matter of one! It's very empowering and delightful to know that I have improved in both skill and networking to the point that I have reached half the acknowledgement my previous account did in 1/4th of the time. And to that, I owe to my watchers!!

I'm thankful, grateful, and happy to all the watchers who've stuck out with me up until this moment. My art is certainly not the best, the best it can be, nor is it the most interesting, but the simple fact you all watch me due to appreciation of what I produce/common interest we hold is always a day-brightener. I work hard everyday to try and perfect my stories, improve my art, and broaden my knowledge, and to know I have the support of about 140 watchers, as well as +30 followers on a brand new blog, and +110 on my own personal blog, is just the greatest thing I could ever hope for.

I'm sorry if I didn't hold up to many people standards, but hopefully, you all will stick by me through another year of fandom gushing, art producing, unwarranted art blocks, emotional spirals, and successful endeavors. My goal this year is to produce art with an actual attempted background, as well as more perspective/dynamic pose studies, improved coloring, and more interesting/appealing subjects... so cheers to another year!
