A nice surprise from a picture my good friend fcsimba over at FA did. She did two of these pictures for her viewers and this one for old friends from way before FA. She's a great artist so check out her work and an even more awesome friend if you get a chance to talk to her :D
In her words below:
Here's part two of my quest to repay those that have made my life brighter within this community :) This one goes out to three of my old friends, who I still have the pleasure of speaking with today. ^^ In fact, Twilight is coming to visit this summer :D Woot!
SHADOW; Oh Shads. When I first met you, I thought you were way too cool to be my friend :) I remember seeing all those drawings of the white-eyed panther, and thinking he was such a cool looking fursona. As time went on, I realized you were just as silly and dirty as I am! (Actually, you're dirtier ;P). I have an old picture on my hard drive of FC & Shadow in Kingdom Hearts outfits x3 Reminds me of how long we've known each other--I wish we got to speak more, but I just wanted to thank you for being so awesome all these years :D So thanks Shads, I hope you enjoy the little doodle of your rawrsome character.
TWILIGHT; Oh my Stutch. I already gave you a big long birthday message, but here's another on the Furry community. You've been one of my very best friends since I was eleven years old and I wouldn't trade you for anything. Every time you've come to visit, you've made my basement smell like man and we've chugged /way/ too many Mountain Dews. You're a good friend with a good heart--albeit, a little perverted, but I wouldn't change a thing about you :D I've always looked up to you, and just like Shads, I thought you were way too cool to talk to me. You didn't seem to think so though, and for that I'm always thankful. I have pictures of us on webcam from when we were little tots :3 Thanks for being such a huge part of my life. I should draw gift art for you more often, but feck...life...why? I hope this is the start of more gift art to come. ^^
TANELI; Oh you adorable little Cheetah you. :) I'm so glad you re-found me on FA. I had a blast drawing that picture of Taneli and FC, so I thought I'd doodle you a thank you for commissioning me...also, for being a friend :) I remember our MSN conversations fondly, you've always been such a sweet, huggable Cheetah. ^^ You're such a gentle soul, and it shows through the way your character is represented and in the way you talk (err type :3). Anyway. I just wanted to let you know, you're important to me.
