AAAAHHH
Oh my gosh! Words cannot describe how excited I am to win! All of these emotions flowing through my head.. I can hardly sit still or keep a straight face when I think about this.. I just want to smile and giggle and laugh because I am truly so happy - I could even cry Omg. C':
I've been through a massive emotional roller coaster with this competition. As soon as I heard about it I knew i HAD to enter! I've been following Nifu for ... foreverrr (since I've started drawing, so maybe like, a few years xD) and once he moved to Tumblr and stopped posting on Fb my absolute obsession over Nife kinda faded out a little, and I started getting really excited whenever Dino posted - and that's how i found out about this! Dino shared Nifu's journal and I squealed and told everyone about how important this is to me. I tried so hard to draw the best piece I possibly could. I have difficulties with anatomy and all that stuff, but i tried for hours and hours and holy it was effort.~ I swear I sat there for three days just planning drawing, doing flats and shading xD I was stressing a lot because the deadline was coming up, aaaaaand then Nife extended it haha. As I was one of the first to submit, I had A LOT of time to stress! I refreshed Nife's DA page a zillion times a day, every day, until this morning when I finally saw that I've won! I had days where I thought about it and looked at the other submissions and thought to myself - hey, mine isn't cute.. or hot.. what if it isn't good enough? Basically all my life I've been putting myself down and feeling like I wasn't good enough for anything. I was / am constantly searching for some fulfillment. I kept finding new hobbies and giving up when I realized its not for me. I wanted some sort of achievement in my life where I could just think to myself - "I did it. i finally did it."
This is it.~
I am so so happy and thankful for everyone that voted for me and all of the other contestants fr entering, it was a fun emotional roller coaster!
