❣️So a special thread of the past artist I was❣️

Pt 1:
Let us start with the beginning.
Starting around 2008-2009.
I started off as a Star Fox fan artist.
I went by “StarFoxFanGurl11” back when I started in deviantART.
Truly love Star Fox and just furries itself.
Pt 2:
Like.... Honestly.
I was an obsessed Star Fox fan.
Especially for Fox McCloud, truly still love that boyo.

These are made in 2010.
I’ve done both traditional and digital art at the time, experimenting so much!
Pt 3:
And yes. I mainly enjoyed drawing Fox and Krystal.
..... And some Yoshi too? xD

These were also made in 2010.
Pt 4:
Also at 2010, not only have I wanted to draw Star Fox, but wanted to create a fanfic in the Star Fox universe with my very own FCs.
Star Galalina with her family, friends, and her team G-Star.
Pt 5:
We are moving on to 2011 and started to focus a lot more digital art and background as well.
Still a lot with Star Fox of course.
Pt 6:
Yes... A lot with background and pushing myself to do much full body.

Still in 2011.
Pt 7:
And yes. Also did a lot with my “G-Star” characters.
Was writing my story for my main character, Star.

Also 2011.
Pt 8:
2011 was also the year I started doing animation.
Simple ones of course.
Pt 9:
Traditional one too!
Really enjoy making small animation on my sketchbook or even a random notebook.

Also 2011.
Pt 10:
We’re moving on to 2012!
Starting with this animation that took me all night long.
Featuring my characters.
Pt 11:
Done many animations during 2012.
Pt12:
Even animation that are so damn random.
Pt 13:
Done a lot of digital art at 2012.
Pt 14:
And of course some traditional art in 2012.
Pt 15:
Can’t forget these featuring my Star with @BadLuckKomi’s Ryouiji.
Made in 2012.
Pt 16:
As 2013 begins, I started to spread out.
No longer was I only a Star Fox artist, but doing other video games fan art and pushed myself to make my G-Star not a Star Fox fanfic, but my very own story.
Also the year I’ve changed to “FoxyBeatz”.
Pt 17:
G-Star also been changed to be called GalaStarlia.
An original series I’ve been so focused on.
Really really deep dark story.
Ask any of my old followers that read it.

Made in 2013.
Pt 18:
Also 2013, done a lot of crazy creatures too.
Pt 19:
Closing up 2013 with an animation of my Star?
Pt 20:
Ah yes. 2014 was an interesting year.
Went crazy as usual with my digital arts.
Pt 21:
2014 was also the year for more animation.
Pt 22:
Don’t forget this one too!
Pt 23:
2014 was also the time my art teacher I had taught me how to understand coloring.
Both with color pencils and chalks.
Pt 24:
Little extra fun piece I did in art class!
Warm to cool.
Pt 25:
With that knowledge on understanding to color, I started doing a lot of color pencils pieces.
See? We can learn to push ourselves to make a difference in our art.

Also 2014.
Pt 26:
And going on to 2015, continuing learning from that art teacher, I’ve done more chalks and a few practice it making prints.
Pt 27:
And a bunch of color pencils done on big posters.

Also 2015.
Pt 28:
Not only have I focus on color pencils in 2015, but pushed out more on trying inks, pens, sharpies, and any other markers I can find.
Pt 29:
And using al that knowledge I learned through traditional arts, and went back to digital art again.

Made in 2015.
Pt 30:
Closing 2015 with another animation?
Featuring my demon fox gal, Darcia.
Pt 31:
And moving on to 2016 with more digital art.
Pt 32:
And a bunch of traditional art in 2016.
Pt 33:
As we’re moving on to 2017, that was the year I kinda backed away from digital art and only done traditional art.
Pt 34:
More pieces from 2017.
Pt 35:
At 2018, I started doing stipple art.
A piece where you only use dots to create an art.
Extremely time consuming and in need of good patience to make these.
But hey? Give it a shot!
It’s actually fun to try. ^^
Pt 36:
So as I’m proceeding through 2018, my little bro I’ve shown me Fortnite.
Wasn’t too crazy about it til season 5.... When Drift came to my life.
I was no longer a furry artist.
I’ve enter the craze to draw this boyo and even create a fanfic about him.
... Oh and Kaya came.
Pt 37:
So 2018 was the start of focusing how to draw humans.
Something I thought I would never ever do.
Pt 38:
Toward the end of 2018, I started to try out water coloring painting.
Pt 39:
As we go for 2019, I’ve decided to hop back on my laptop, open up Sai, and do digital art again.
(First piece was actually done on my phone. xD )
Pt 40:
2019 was also the year I finally got myself an iPad Pro and installed Procreate.
Was confusing to start but learning on the way.
Pt 41:
And done many pieces to understand how to use Procreate.

Made in 2019.
Pt 42:
This is where I probably started to understand how to color better on Procreate?

Also 2019.
Pt 43:
And so on with 2019?
Pt 44:
Random fact. Probably no one cares because since it’s “Fortnite Fanfic” but 2019 is also when I started “Fortnite: Next Generation”.
(Need to do more with them)
Pt 45:
‼️Gore/blood alert‼️
2019 was also the year I started my comic series “FN: Drift to the Past”.
Only four pages were done, but project will be continued hopefully next month?
Follow @DriftyComic to stay in touch for updates and new pages.
Pt 46:
‼️Gore/blood alert‼️
And so... Here’s our current year, 2020.
Pt 47:
‼️Gore/blood alert‼️
So..... Why did I took the time to tell you this story?
Because I want to tell any artists.
Beginners, experienced, young....
Not even just artists that draw.
3D, photographer, screenshots, sculptures, singers, producers, writers, anyone!
We all learn!
Pt 48:
Through my 12 years so far as an artist, I have always struggled.
Even times in the middle of it, I wanted to give up in art.
Always felt unwanted, untalented, never felt I grew, and just never been praise like every artist have....
Always thought numbers was important...
Pt 49:
But through out my years, I slowly learned popularity is not what satisfies the artist.
To make yourself happy, don’t let numbers been what makes you.
Let the pieces you make create who you are.
Pt 50:
And don’t always go for full on pieces.
Make fun little pieces too!
Can’t always stress yourself.
Can be something quick, small, funny, vent, anything to help.
I usually do these kind of doodles a lot to help me stay stress-free and happy.
Breaks are also important!
Pt 51:
To be the artist you wish to be, it should be about you.
Make creations that makes us know it’s you.
Creating should make you happy.
Don’t let others control what you should make.
Never change! Even if it’s for fame!
You won’t ever be happy if you do so!
Be you!
Pt 52:
To this day, I’m forever grateful for who I am.
..... Yes yes. I’m a hypocrite.
I hate my art still but that helps me understand that I must go forward and not whine about it.
Practicing and patience is important.
And so is my happiness and sanity.
Pt 53:
Never, and I mean never, give up.
Never ever give up.
I promise you, you will reach to be the artist you wish to be.
You will be proud.
You will be happy.

Never fear to have guidance if needed.
There’s many of us here willing to help you grow and be positive.
Pt 54:
I hope my art journey helped you feel better.
I know many people that followed weren’t happy, but understand... You’re perfect in your own way.
As in perfect, I don’t mean everything is exact because perfection doesn’t exist nor should it be a thing.
We’re always growing.
Pt 55:
Calling someone perfect in my term means you are who you are.
You are unique.
You are talented.
Your work makes me and others happy.
Never doubt yourself.
You’re doing great.
