4 years ago today, my life in the art world changed forever.
It was the day I met @Ron_Raccoon_ over on DeviantArt.

In just a short time Ron would become my best friend on the internet, and we mostly had a good time, though at the time my anxiety and nerves got the better of me using social media, almost entirely. Despite this, I stayed in touch with Ron.
Last year however, things went south with me and Ron. I had decided to move on from him. At the same time though, I very nearly moved on from my arts, and not for the first time.
Then, I decided to change my characters' design and give Twitter one more go.

For the first 4 1/2 months of @TropicalMuskrat I pretty much ignored Ron in all honesty, by muting him. Last August I was able to chat with Ron on Telegram, but it didn't end well.
Another month and a half passed by, when I said to myself.....

What was I thinking!
There was really no point of me ignoring Ron Raccoon after everything we've done for each other up until early last year.
So, I unmuted Ron and followed him back. I also started watching his streams on Twitch. By then I had overcome my nerves using Twitter.

And now, May 24 has come once again (though it's the 25th over here now). Despite my circumstances last year which I have now left behind, one thing has stayed the same.
I would not be here alive today as a cartoonist with a whole lot of friends, without @Ron_Raccoon_!

Over the next 5 or 6 days up until his birthday next Saturday, I will be posting in this thread, sketches and drawings I've made for Ron over the 4 years that I've known him.
I will also take the time to make a couple of gifts for Ron!
