Thank You

With a new year beginning, I look back on the past year and feel the need mention how much everyone has helped me. The end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 wasn't exactly happy for me. I lost a lot of myself during that time, and friendships as well. I stepped away from dA. I didn't draw as often as I once had. I felt lonely.

I first discovered Dofus and Wakfu in April of 2014. While browsing the Cheezburger site, which I spent most of my time doing, I came across a GIF of Lou the Ouginak dancing from the episode "La fièvre de l'hacienda" and became curious as to what the cartoon was. I became hooked, instantly, falling in love with the young Joris, and posted my first piece of fanart on the 18th of that month. While reading the comments on the videos, I began noticing comments like "Joris was adorable as a child!" and "Is this the same Joris?" It was then that I realized Dofus was only a sister show to Wakfu. Upon completing the Dofus series, Youtube removed the account that had posted both series. I scoured the web, searching for a Wakfu playlist, sadly discovering that many sites had their videos removed. Finally, I located the subtitled series on a website that was unknown to many official blogs and watched the entire series, still in love with Joris' character, only this time as an adult. Although it had gained my attention, my focus dropped away again until October. By that time I had started to find myself and my happiness again. Upon the English dubbing of the series, I attempted to watch through Wakfu again, but couldn't bring myself to enjoy the English actors, but my focus remained, this time. My muse had struck and I began developing characters, in my head, but not yet putting them down on paper. I was itching to learn more about the series and it motivated me. While searching I discovered information about the upcoming Dofus film as well as the three OVA episodes. By this time my happiness was building and the anticipation of the film and special episodes kept me with a positive attitude. All this despite the fact that I was feeling rather lonely on dA. My newfound interest in Wakfu was not shared with my previous watchers and I was finding no other fans of Wakfu. I even attempted to share this interest with some of my friends, but they simply could not get into it the way I was. I waited, patiently, until the OVAs were released before I began hunting, once again, so I might be able to watch them. It was during this time that I discovered the blog of . Through her blog I was able to get my hands on the OVAs and eventually I found myself turning to her blog for any new information or answers to questions I may have had. While I kept silent, I also admired her beautiful artwork and was enthralled to see she was on dA. I watched her, continuing to keep to myself except for a few comments here and there, still feeling the quiet on my end with no friends who shared my interest. Before long, approached me and offered his friendship to me. Not long after, Wish and I became closer, developing a strong friendship, and followed.

My friendships built up and I met even more wonderful people like and so many others. Too many to list.

Friends have come and gone, but the biggest friendships have remained. The year started off slow and lonely, but because of you guys, I was able to endure hardships and even though there were things that brought me down, some worse than others, you were always there for me through it all. If I hadn't found Wakfu, I wouldn't have found all of you and if I hadn't found all of you, who knows where I'd be. You all made the past year spectacular for me. You made me happy. And while I have so many people to thank for it, I have to especially thank the first three people who opened their arms to me and offered me their friendship and love.


Thank you all so much for everything you've done for me this past year. I love you all so much and couldn't imagine how things would have gone without you. Remember I'll always be here for you just as you were for me.

And I still extend this to all my other fantastic friends here. I love each and every one of you and wish you all the best. May this year be as joyful as the last.
