I don’t know for certain if you’re the same artist because it has been like a decade since I’ve been on DeviantArt, but I just randomly saw one of your redraws on my dashboard. The earlier stuff looked like a user called Lilyfer’s art, and maybe that is you because Spud’s name is so familiar to me… all of that to say if that IS you, YOU are the artist who inspired me to start drawing!! It blows my mind how much your art style has changed, and I am still really awestruck with how cool the stuff you make is. I have not drawn anything in years because my collection of traditional art was accidentally thrown away during a move, but seeing your newer stuff does make me feel inspired to start drawing again. Thank you for creating, and thank you for sharing your art publicly!
Ahhh yes thats me!! And this is the most sweetest messege, i am so happy i could inspire you and im so sorry your stuff got lost in a move, but i so hope you start drawing again! Aah thank you so much thought this really means so much to me 💕
