End of an Era by Puzzled

I had a hard time trying to decide what my last drawing for Colors3D would be. Just the thought that I won't be able to upload anymore drawings this way is heart-breaking. But I think that is why it's fitting to draw a 3DS.
I have so many good memories with the 3DS. The excitement to see I got a streetpass. The various games. And I learned to draw and eventually joined Colors here on the 3DS. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Instead of goodbye, I want to say Thank you!

EDIT: Wow, um, my mind is just spinning! First, thank you all very much! I'm just overwhelmed by how supportive and amazing you all are. Second, um, I don't plan on leaving the Colors community just yet. I'm sorry If it sounded like that, it was not my intention. And it's on me for not discussing this with anyone. Again sorry! My plan is to tough it out on Colors Live until the end of the year and if by then I can't get used to drawing on the switch then I might need to leave. Until then, I'll still be around!

Yeah, it sucks that the 3ds servers are going down. I met a lot of cool people on this app.

Wow this is beautiful!! The shading is on point! ^o^ You did a great job on the Colors home screen as well!! I got started here on Colors using the 3ds. I like that you get to zoom in on your painting on the bottom screen, while also getting to see the whole view of the painting on the top screen. I really enjoyed using Colors on there.

all the 3D art and accounts will left behind by those moving on will stand like a newly place statue to inspire others before sadly in time fading

Such a sombre feeling. I'll never forget the charm and allure of painting in 3D. I'll treasure the friends and memories I made. And now I'll look forward to what the new generation has to bring to the table.

It is an absolute end to an era.... @Puzzled, you've always inspired me with your artwork. No matter what it was, it always put a huge smile onmy face!! I'm so glad that we've met and became friends on here. It's still unreal, but I will for sure miss seeing your artwork. Whatever happens next for you, I wish you the best of luck!!! Take care!!!

Beautiful drawing. The online services will be missed, but thankfully, pretendo exists. See ya!

... Dang, I am taking this HARD. It's a lot to process... You're one of my favorite artists here, and also a friend to me...

Even if you can't post after the shutdown, I hope you'll still drawn, at least. Do you have any other socials?

@PoodleKingdom @Gaz bell: Thx! Very glad to hear!

@Meowy_a_Meowdracorn @Rubber_Ducky @brettzter @Keyotea @-Livi_Cat-: I'm sorry for not explaing properly but I don't intend to leave jusy yet! I feel so bad for even giving you all that impression. Again, I'm so sorry! >o<

@SaltyBagel: You and me both. But that means it was worth the time spent, even if it's temporary!

@ColorMeInspired: Thank you! And yeah I really like that about Colors3D too. I can mess around in the bottom screen yet the top screen will show the full drawing. Maybe that is part of why it's hard to leave behind. I guess now they will be good memories. Oh and thanks for congratulating me! It has been a whirlwind of surprises and emotions for me today! XD

@hannahwallbank: YES!!! Why must Nintendo take down such good things. Bring back eshop! Bring back free online service! And thanks for the congratulations! ^u^

@Kit-Chu: That's actually an incredibly postive way to see this but you're right! Even if the artists have left, their drawings will still be left for all to see. Now I wanna check out the drawings from galleries inactive for awhile now. :D

@The_Adjudicator: 100% agree with you. The time and memories I have with Colors3D and it's artists are irreplaceable. There's also stars shining brightly in Colors Live. The future of the Colors community still looks bright!

@NovaNothing: Oh wow, you called it! XP

@PineappleChan_: Thank you very much! Something you should know is that the 3DS owes alot to the switch artists. There wasn't much activity here until Colors Live quite literally livened things up! So thank you for being apart of the community! Oh, and, yes I'll continue drawing here now through Colors Live! I'm so sorry for any confusion. I'm just panicking seeing all these goodbye comments. >o<

@ShadowPikaboo: Thank you very much! My exact intentions so I'm very delighted to hear this! <3

@Dynoluvva: Thank you so much for the amazingly kind words and being an amazing friend! I'll still be around, at least until the end of the year. At least, to incentivize to make you smile more! Take care to you too!!! TuT

@MarekSinister: Thank you! Pretendo? What's that? The way you say it sounds very intriguing!

@Mewsea: ...oh no. Wait, I'm not leaving yet! It hurts my heart to see I lead people to believe that but I also only have myself to blame! ToT I can't post on 3DS but I do plan to continue through Colors Live. At least until the end of the year. Sorry sorry sorry! ...but now that you mention it, maybe I should look into other socials

It actually works perfectly fine if you use Pretendo Network (Nintendo Network revival) because Colors! and Pretendo collabed according to their blog. In fact, I'm writing this comment on 3DS on Colors! 3D app!

Now back to my PC, you can find the article of what I was talking about here: https://pretendo.network/blog/4-8-24

@Puzzled Yeah, the 3ds will always be very dear to me. <3 No problem!! Your painting really deserved to win!! ^ ^

Puzzled

11 Apr, 2024, 9:09 am

@Meowy_a_Meowdracorn: again not your fault. If anything it's my fault. Besides, seeing so many drawings saying goodbye to Colors3D and also leaving the community, it's only natural anyone would think the same here. Don't worry about but I am glad you care ^u^

@LooneyWizard: 100% agree! Very well said! I look forward to see how the Colors Live era turns out XD

@Missyyoda12345678910: I guess because I'm old :3

@SatinFoil: Oh, I see thank you very much! I know some workarounds were made during the DS era but didn't know if it could extend to Colors. I do have Colors Live so I'll still be trying that out. But wouldn't mind finishing old drawings on my 3DS too >:3

@EllaJumpyWay: No idea, didn't know until you let me know. I can see it now (it's a sparkly heart!) but I'm surprised I didn't even get a notification even on my switch. Very interesting. No idea how it happened but thank you very much for letting me know! ^u^

@LuxeCreative: .....um, ok just this once

Oh, also, to whoever gave the superlike: thank you very very much! <3

That's such a relief! But I told you that already on one of my arts, hehe.

Mewsea

13 Apr, 2024, 12:14 am

Also!!! I can't believe I didn't even notice you got artist of the week!?! Ugh, I could kick myself!!! I'm so sorry! But congrats! And congrats on winning this contest and getting a Superlike! Seriously, you're amazing! I also read through your interview. Your humor made me laugh at some parts. And you had such good advice too! I really enjoyed reading it.

(Even typing on the Switch is infuriating! I had to sign in on my phone to type this!)

Oh, and! One last thing... Thank you for giving me a shout out and being such an awesome friend! <3

Puzzled

13 Apr, 2024, 8:06 am

@Mewsea: It's alright and thank you very much! Just the thought their is an interview on me is really embarrassing, but I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed reading it! >u<

And of course I'd give you a shout out. You're also an awesome friend and an amazing person!!! X3

@Puzzled Ooh rlly ??:00 Well I'm so happy that I could b apart of that and joined this community !! Tysm, I'm so glad to hear that you will b staying with us !! ^w^ <33 And don't apologize ! I just wanted to ask you since a lot of 3DS users mentioned abt leaving, but now ik now ^u^

Puzzled

15 Apr, 2024, 8:11 am

@LuxeCreative: No idea. The only way I know is from select contests. Other than that, I don't know. Sorry.

@PineappleChan_: I am realizing that, with so many good bye posts going around, a lot of people are wondering who's staying and who's leaving. I assumed that with me not saying anything about leaving, that others will guess that I'm not leaving. That was bad thinking on my part, I really should have been direct. XP And I'm really glad to stay too! >u<
