Well, I pretty much exploded with joy.
All I can say is thanks a ton, Tom. I promise I'll actually start making shit and stop disappointing everyone. I've been practicing my drawing for the last week or so, and I'm going to continue doing this for a few months. However, once I finish my practice, I'll get on doing stuff.
Thanks to Luis, and a handful of others for trying all this time to kick my ass into shape and to get me to make things. (I'm not naming all the rest because namedropping is gay.) I'm gonna finally start being serious about it now.
Oh, and thanks to everyone in this thread who congratulated me and said I deserved it. I hope I can someday make all of you guys proud too.
PS: im saving that drawing to my hard drive ukinojoe
