Description There is someone I need to talk about.

Ah ah... yes, I know, I have moooore that 40 drawings from 2017 to post. I still haven't done this already.
I always have too much work at school, and when I have breaks I still don't manage.
I'm like, you know, a pro for getting a crash, because of me or something else, at the right time...
Yeah , I'm not alright today.

Why I talk about my life here, you may ask, the only thing that matter is the pretty picture you clicked on.
Well, good point, but today is a day i need to do something different, so rather that explain you this drawing, I will explain you why  there is only a small part of my work on the internet, maybe 30%, (hard to tell) , and out of a "protection" logic .
Until now I avoided showing myself and my "too personal work"

But this rule has one exception.

You see this Lil guy here? 
There's no character I will ever love more that this one.
Simply because there's no character I can pass my feelings on better that with him.
And I evacuated my pain and expressed myself  thought him, "EXtinction"comic never been nothing more that an excuse at first, and it's only because of him I was addicted to page drawing. 
That's one of the reasons why I never expected nothing in return, like money or anything else until today, for the reason I already mentioned.
That's right, overtime he was hurt in the story I was also hurt irl.
My feelings are the reason why I always knew exactly what color, what angle and what detail to choose in my comics, before anyone ever teach me . 
I really felt the difference drawing the moments in the comic my Kirin was there and when he wasn't ...
Entourage never payed attention, but I helped me to feel better, and even more .

I forced myself to draw stuff, like evoloons lately. It didn't makes me happy starting from the moment Fawn stopped to dance  last summer... 
The reason I continued are two wonderful people whom I cherish as much as my heart can 

And about this little guy, he was never planned, never designed to me keep, but here he is , my only char that can evolve the "way he wants". He has this "je ne sais quoi" that hypnotized me,i just try to represent him correctly .
So i will never care about the white color made him call Unicorn or if he looked cooler in colors.
I don't care either if  his name is common.
As you may remember , ''that's my little hero, that's my little Hiro''

I'm just a derpy nobody but this moved me. I can never know what he means to you but I've been wrestling with mental illness for as long as I can remember and I just saw a part of myself in this beautiful little character. I'm so broken and this vulnerable little creature reminded me to treat myself kindly. I'm crying. Thank you.

we all have our own little Hiro, the one who help us to pass our pain, our sadness, and sometimes also our happiness. they are piece of nothing, some dust on the path, but few by few, they become part of ourself, and finish to steal a little piece of our heart.

Things don't need to be weird colours and/or with complicated names to be good characters (and a lot of the time it's better if they're not).

Sorry you're having hard times and trouble managing :S I don't know if it helps or not to know that you're not alone in this and that there are other people sprinkled over the place that will at least have some vague idea about how you feel, and will be able to relate and encourage if/when you feel like opening up.  Hope you're able to work/draw your way into a better headspace!

I'm really sorry you've felt so upset, honestly, but i'm also strangely glad you came up with such a fantastic character because of this. Afterall, the storms don't only brew destruction, but sometimes, reconstruction.. I can truly see how you feel about the little guy through my little screen, probably hundreds and HUNDREDS of miles away... Could say I identify with you, but my bond with my characters is not as strong. At least, I don't think so. I wish you can keep on growing and developing this little cutiepie and hopefully for you to get happier future events, and leave any sad thoughts behind yourself. Stay strong, and this lil prince shall rise up along with you, i'm sure of that. I really don't care if you keep up with the comic or not to be fair, i'm just glad you feel so attached to a character, not for profit or for popularity- But just out of love for your creations. When a hobby becomes a chore or obligation- It's time to re-think your objectives. Although it would make me happy to see more pages, in the end its you who matters in this, and your feelings are just as important as everyone elses'. You probably already know that, but I thought some kind words would come off as nice. Positive things can never have an excess anyways!

Very good comment I've read here. I'm sorry I wasn't able to reply earlier.
It's ok to no have a "such bond" with a character. Actually , it's like a child with his plush. He needs it very ,because it confort him. 
If everyone owned character like this one , it wouldn't be necessarily a good sign.
I'm not able to show to everyone how it looks like to create a character that you know in every fiber.
I can simply write and draw it story more until one day, people finally get the chance to know the char.

i will stop here for now, thank you for your support ^^

*hugs you* I'm not that good at comfort or anything like that, but you are amazing. You maybe surprised
to hear this but your character has actually helped me out a bit. Got me motivated again, so thank you. 

Take your time, rest, relax, and don't push yourself to much.

Life can be difficult, and we can be our biggest obstacles when it comes to overcoming our emotional standings. It is good to have that outlet and to allow us to get the negative feelings out as best we can, but there are times where it seems like there is no opportunity. So we hold it in, but that will only do more harm. Never feel that you need to hold back and deny yourself that outlet, and never feel that you need to apologize or explain anything. Don't force yourself to do anything that doesn't make you happy, and those you love should understand as well. I am sure they do not expect you to keep drawing things for them if you are unhappy with it

You love your Baby Hiro and the emotional attachment you have with him is your special bond in his creation. And there is nothing wrong with that either. If you want him to change, then you will make changes based on how you feel, and not how anyone else thinks he should be. Let the art sing what is in your heart, be it dark and gritty, or bright and cheerful. It is all beautiful because it is your expression. Your vision. Your art is part of you and extension of you. And I am happy that you are willing to share your talent, art, and open your feelings to us.

P.S.: I also love Baby Hiro just the way he is. ^_^

These are some of my favorite kinds of drawings not because they are pretty, but because you can tell that they mean something more to the artist. You can sort of sense when an artist truly identifies with something they create, and it’s almost like you can see how they felt when they drew it.

Taikgwendo In reply to Ominous3 [2018-05-07 22:36:36 +0000 UTC]

I generally keep those for myself , never show emotionnal drawings on internet usually. I'm glad people can understand it

Don't worry, perhaps you're the creator but the moment I saw Hiro I literally fell in love with him. I love the design, the art style and the comic!
Don't be harsh on yourself and remember that we will always support you!

He is awesome, and strong, and incredible
Show yourself can be a good way to understand your feeling and confront with other to grow up and take out what is tormenting you.
But only when you are ready, it also "expose" you, and stand this exposition requaire courage (that I'm sure you have) and time and energy...
SO take your time, for sure I will wait patiently your art, because I think it is unique and very beautiful

Inspiration, the one thing people look for until they have found it. Yet, with this inspiration you posses with you is powering. In the begging the pain was your fuel but not the fuel you wish to keep using. Now you have found better fuel to keep going and you'll keep using it until time stay still.
P.s. do what makes you happy, don't do it to please some people. Draw for the joy, draw for passion and draw for the fun of it. Lastly, you are an inspiration even if you don't see it, just know you are. <3

-hugs- I hope both Fawn and Hiro can dance again someday, when your heart is lighter and the scars have had time to fade. You're a wonderful artist but, more, from the times we've interacted I think you're a wonderful person, and I hope you can find the balance and happiness that you deserve

Everyone deserves and should have one character that means this much to them. I'm not going to pretend I understand everything you're feeling, but I do know what it's like to have a character I love above all others. 

-hugs from afar!-

I got such a character too. I maybe don't really know you but I can relate. Art vomes from HE A R T in my opinion. Everything else is not making you feel good in the end. Had to figure myself several times. I hope you do well with all ahead. Stay strong. May Hiro be your hero =]
