May 9th by August_Comics

Yep! Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the Fairy Tail account.

Despite my first painting, I actually joined on May 9th, two years ago. If you go on the website and look at my first liked painting you can see my first comment there. :3

This pic contains elements from my Fairy Tail gallery in sort of a timeline type of way.

Two years and a couple weeks ago, I bought the Colors3D app not knowing that it would be a significant part of my life. I discovered the actual gallery by accidently tapping the gallery icon (I previously ignored it because I didnt know exactly what it was. SILLY ME.)
.
I first saw that mermaid painting (my very first liked painting) and wanted to comment. So I made an account and did so. I named the account "Fairy Tail" originally because it was my favorite anime at the time.
.
I remember staying up really late exploring this fascinating gallery, and drawing things myself because I remember honestly wanting at least some recognition and a place in the gallery.
Painfully I have to admit, when I discovered tracing, I used to post traced drawings. >_< However the outcome was that it helped me become used to drawing on this little app, and thats when I made my first FT comic. (cont)

Originally I wanted to keep my real identity completely secret (including my real gender at first) so I used an orange cat with glasses as my mascot. Fairy was inspired by Hiromu Arakawa's (creator of Fullmetal Alchemist) little avatar cow with glasses. Even some of the expressions Fairy uses are the same.
The paneling I used was something Ive done for years when I previously made little gag comics on paper.
I didnt expect it to reach the weeks best and when it did, I immediatly started on the next comic. xD
.
At one point, I did experiment with a lineless painting of Halloween Sora (now on display at the Lofty Lioness gallery as its new home), however it did not get very many likes. (it wasnt that good anyway and I didnt know how to handle layering at the time so..xD)
.
Not long after, while I was in a very confusing state in my 13 year old mind. I was into dark stuff like vampires and monsters (fyi I hated Twilight :P) and so the idea of Vampire Story was born. (cont)

(cmon guys let me finish my story! xDD)
.
I didnt see much manga/comic series at the time so I was like "why the heck not, lets do this" and started making Vampire Story.
Not long after, while it was fairy popular, I hosted my very first contest for VS (which I remember getting around a back-breaking fifty entries or more.)
.
As the year went on, friends were made, my art skills were improving more than ever before, and Colors had been a big part of my art life at the time.
In November of 2012, a doodle account was made. Originally called "Lulu's Doodles", the doodle account was @Lofty Lioness. (which I will celebrate that anniversary later.)
It was an unannounced doodle account, meaning it was for discovering.
. *more time skips*
Fairy's Human Tail was a break from the dark Vampire Story for me. Though it didnt last long, it helped me develope my current style a whole lot.
.
Some time after the update, Vampire Story was officially canceled. (cont)

The reasons for this was that I was far out of my dark phase, and it became tiring to make. I also had different ideas in my head. Though it was tough for me to cancel, eventually it died down and Vampire Story went into the grave. (...get it..cuz vampires...and graves..)
.
Halloween 2013 came and multiple people were doing gallery take-overs inspired by HEDROVER. So, well, I kind of got swept into the neat trend as well and out of the random parts of my mind, constructed III rather quickly. The character itself is inspired by...well, nothing in particular. After that, on October Twenty-second, FEED was born.
.
FEED's original idea was about kids who explored an abandoned elementary school infested with monsters. Obviously the idea was slightly changed, but the dark idea remained the same.
The name FEED was made because I liked the way it looked when it was drawn all sketchy. xD
(cont, AND LET ME FINISH PLEASE xD)

December of 2013 came and I decided to do twenty-three bloody paintings in twelve days.
Most of them were not gut-drawn (when I say that I mean most of them didnt really come from the heart)
And you know what that means? :D
DELETE DELETE, DELETED ANYWAYS.
Eh, well. I delete alot of stuff. And I wasnt particularly disappointed in myself because of the extra FEED I got in.
.
Few days after Christmas, I met a Colors user in real life for the first time. HEDROVER, or should I say Jeremy. I'll probably talk more of the subject later but that day was a day I will probably never forget every moment of.
.
NEW YEARS CAME, and shortly afterwards the Fairy Tail gallery has been officially labeled as a Comic Account to the new official (previously a doodle) account, Lofty Lioness.
The activity in the Fairy Tail gallery tremendously decreased since then but all the art is now passing on to the Lofty Lioness account.
.
THE END, I open the comment flood gates now geez.
