that's sweet

i really like making friends on forums, it's like having pen pals. and people i've met on forums have frequently been nicer than many people irl so i'm also less cynical about sites like this one, just going off personal experience.
also i love freebie threads. hangouts but with adorable art scattered in.
that's true. the only skill i have is writing and i have been at it since i was a child. whenever i think of beginning a new hobby, or learning something new, i find it so daunting when i remember how long it took me to get good at something. but there is no rule that i have to be good at my hobbies. just that i should enjoy them... i should keep telling myself that.
wow. 40+ layers! i know you don't find them necessarily complex but they just sound like so much to keep track of to me. kudos to you, really.
i love love pixel art. i actually wish there were avatar sites with cutesy hard pixeling, like ernya and kinsaki, that were active/up currently. i also prefer hard pixels in games. i guess i have old-school tastes
