Description
Sorry for the vent spam today, i don't like to bring my personal life online too much..but i just needed to draw this.

The dragon on the left is the first character i ever came up with. I had to be about 13 years old.. Maybe closer to 14, i cant really remember. Those were the shittiest years ive had, im not even sure why.. I couldnt cope with anything, i hardly let myself out, and i was very private about my art.
So, i just started drawing. like, really drawing. Every day. And somehow, this dragon started to pop up. She didn't have a name or background. I didn't know what a 'sona' was, and she hardly represented me. She was like an imaginary friend really. And as silly as it sounds, she really helped me. Maybe it was just my brain's way of coping.
Her personality was confident, headstrong and was so sure of herself. Everything i wasn't. She was so much stronger than me, and that, somehow, really kept me going. I was now drawing her everywhere, making up stories for her, everything. Somehow, she got me through those few years, my art grew and improved because of her.. I discovered Deviant Art, found people who were like me, and i became more confident with myself.
The dragon began to slowly slip away. I came up with my earliest 'fursona', created new characters, thought up a comic idea, failed miserably at attempting to start one.. i started to forget about her. I was to "mature" for that anymore.
But i am really starting to find myself now, within art, and finding you amazing people on here.. you have all given me so much support since i joined.. ive really grown, and i never would have gotten this far without all of you.
But i have that dragon to thank most of all.. however, i think it's time for me to say goodbye to her.
Thank you, for getting me this far..
I think i can take it from here now..

this relationship reminds me of me when i was younger and i had my stuffed animals to sob to. Even today, when im in need of comfort and im too shy to go to my parents, i sob and sleep with my friend. haha hell, just two days ago, i completly broke down into tears after a really depressing intense ending to a book i was reading and thinking what if all the people i love died? This story also reminds me of the great friends i have and how lucky i am to be with them. I love your artwork and this story especially.

This literally made me cry. I remember feeling like that for so long, and I know how hard it is to great through that. My drawings were my outlet, but I never felt very good about them. I was always really hard on myself, and I never believed that I was any good. However, they were the only thing I had, that really kept me moving on.
I know this is a short comment, but I honestly don't know what else to say except: You're Not Alone
There are several of us who know exactly how you feel, and we're all here for you. You are one of the most amazing friends I've ever had, and you've helped me so much recently. For that I am truly thankful. I couldn't have asked for someone better

sorry for making you cry D|
Thank you so much, really. You are also one of the best friends ive had on here, i wish i could meet everyone on DA 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh please, I've had my share of tears, don't feel bad
You don't even have to thank me. You deserve so much more than what I can say. I'm honored to be called one of your best friends, that made me smile <3 and I agree, I really wish I could meet everyone on DA too~

The drawing is marvelous and very emotional like all your beautiful pieces of art. Seeing your art helps me with many things.It's also makes me jealous to be honest, I look up to you pretty much, even tho I'm older then you by a few years. Sharing this helps me understand you better I think, I've gone through some stuff during those years as well. But what gets me with you is that you drew out your feelings while I just wrote everything down.
When ever I draw and get stuck on a part of my art work I instantly think of you and click away to your DA page for help. There are times when I think my art looks like copies of yours even tho copying never is my intention. Of course our art is not that similar but I can still see similarities here and there.
You are a beautiful person I know that, and if I were to choose anyone on DA to meet and hang out with it would without doubt be you.
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and thank her for bringing you out of the dark.
I love you lots hunny!

I can finally see that you're right there beside me. I am not my own, for I have been made new. Please don't let me go. I desperately need you ~
Vanilla Twilight, Umbrella Beach, and Meteor Shower are my top favorite Owl City songs <3
This is a beautiful piece Coco, and such a wonderful (and inspiring story) behind it. It's funny, I'm finding doses of inspiration a lot lately and most of it has been coming from people I consider friends (you included).
Not sure what to do with all the inspiration, but it's definitely making me think and look around more to figure it out. I keep getting these little episodes of feeling lost and like all of my hopes and dreams will always be in front of me yet too far out of reach - but these jolts of inspiration have been helping me cope with those feelings. So I can relate now (indirectly).
I can't imagine you ever being like that since you've been so amazing and outgoing from the start. I'm glad you had this dragon to guide you and help you break out of your shell. In fact, I'd like to say thank you to her for that because without her, I may not know you here now

funny thing, im not a huge fan of Owl City, but just the way his voice sounded at the part " I desperately need you.." turned me into a big blubbering idiot xD
Well im glad im inspiring you? lol c: i never think that i have that affect on people but a few people have come up to me and said that, and it really feels so amazing <3
I think everyone is at least a little more outgoing online.. maybe it just natural, but yeah, i was alot worse a few years ago.. im so glad i got through it
oh, and thanks for helping me with my 'dilemma' earlier xD I figured out how im going to handle it, hopefully things work out c:

Wow, this is an awesome piece. Especially with the story behind it. It kind of gave me goosebumps. She was by no means my first character, but Tundra was sort of like that for me for a long time.

Thank you so much <3 I think everyone at some point in their lives had a character like that c:
