okay where to begin on this one......uh......gawd I hate it being almost 3 in the morning my mind is fried. Well might as well be a small story for the awesome artist who let me draw his character. I remember 2 years ago a year before I was on DA I was browsing it to look for some inspiration as I was a N00b when it came to digital artwork. I cam across his gallery and his character caught my eyes. I remember the first sentence that popped into my head seeing him, it was " You are a little thieving Raccoon." I guess because of his eye and tail markings it reminded me of a raccoon. Twas very funny to me. And a great surprise, the character was actually a thief. heh heh. Then I remember when I first joined DA I continued to look up to Shinerai's gallery as I always loved the vibrant colors and fun characters. I remember sending him a few notes for help with certain things especially when I first got photoshop and he generously helped me. I was happy that I was actually helped by someone higher than myself. For you see when I grew up I always had to figure things out myself because I was scorned or just tossed away. I had to learn many a things by myself. But I mustered up the nerve to talk one whom I idolized and was honored when he replied. Now here I am a year later with friends and fans of my own and I wanted to show my thanks in some way for him for his help and this is what came up with.
