    I’m glad you have grown,
    As a channel
    As a person
    And in general!
    I’m glad we have helped you and I’m glad to say you have helped us!
    Your art is stunning and the way you expressed how you’ve felt and how you’re feeling now made me CRY.
    can’t wait to see more of your progress!!!
    I’m bad with words but I hope I explained my point well..

    I've been following you on TH-cam and on Tumblr since 2015, I was only 14 when I came across your first Peridot speedpaint and I was instantly hooked. The growth you've had these past six years is astonishing. I get a sense of nostalgia when I look back at your 2015/2016 paintings, not because they're insanely old or anything, but because I've changed a lot since then, so it feels longer than it is.
    Thanks for all the years of fantastic art, It's been amazing growing up with you.

    I’ll be honest, you’re one of the reasons I didn’t give up drawing during my lowest point. I’d always watch your Speedpaints and feel motivated and inspired to keep going, you’re mega epic!

    I know us watching your videos has help you’ve grown and helped you cope with your depression, but I hope you know that it’s done the same for us. At least for me it has. For a while I felt like I really had nothing to look forward to but then upon finding youtubers like you I found something very very easy and simple to keep me going. I just had to stick around until the next time you uploaded. And I’m so incredibly grateful for that 💛

    • @KiwiByrd

    초등학교때부터 당신 영상을 봐왔는데 벌써 저는 고등학생이 되어버렸네요 ... 영어를 잘 몰라서 영상을 다 이해하지는 못했지만 당신은 정말 대단한 사람이기 때문에 이렇게 많은 사람들이 당신이 팬이 되었다는 것을 말해주고 싶었어요😭💗💗 항상 응원합니다!
    Hello, I am a Korean fan. I've been watching your videos since elementary school, and I'm already in high school... I don't understand English well, so I didn't understand all of your videos, but you're such a great person, so many people wanted to tell you that you became a fan😭💗 💗 We always support you

    I am overjoyed to hear that this channel is so helpful for you- that this channel is a safe place for you, that it brings you goals and dreams--
    I feel almost... proud? to say I've been following you for 6 years- your Eridan speedpaint was the same to me as those animatics you described were for you. Your artwork really impacted me, and I'm so happy that it isn't just one-sided. That in watching your videos over and over and sharing them all with my friends - that I helped you too. You're doing so great!!

  • @pixiestyx
    @pixiestyx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    You are still one of my biggest art inspirations! I get so excited every time I see a video from you, especially when you talk to us in them. I'm so glad things are better for you this year. I love seeing the comparison between this year's portrait and last year's. It's so much more hopeful and happy. :) Your kitty is so sweet - we also have one named Gwen. :)

  • @gracenblackwelder7727
    @gracenblackwelder7727 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I hope you know that you're videos gave me the same kind of inspiration that you got when you were younger. I used to watch your tutorials on loop trying to mimic your art style lol, and they really helped me refine my digital painting. I even won a gold ket at the scholastic art and writing awards for my work, and part of that is because of you! I'm hoping to go to SCAD as well, but we'll see if I get enough scholarships. Fingers crossed!

  • @bento7062
    @bento7062 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    oh my god, i remember i was around the same age as u were when u found out about speedpaints and i found your channel! you didnt have much videos yet but i rewatched your gorillaz and homestuck speedpaints over and over, trying to dissect how u made such good art. i didnt realize it was that long ago already, ur arts helped me so much in getting better at art myself. thank you so much 🥺💕

  • @schnapapoo
    @schnapapoo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

Thank you for sharing all your fantastic art with us over the years, I hope your passion for art and happiness continues to improve, you've already made it so incredibly far!!

  • @mitwodlemi
    @mitwodlemi 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know if I've ever commented on any of your videos before but you've been a HUGE inspiration to me over the years! You're my favorite artist!!! It makes me so happy to see that you've not only grown as an artist, but as a person. You give me hope.

  • @02Redfox15
    @02Redfox15 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I remember finding your channel through the skin tutorial you did way back when! I started using SAI because it was what you used, and I remember making like my favorite piece of art for that time in my life by following that tutorial. Im not a big commenter but I just wanted to say thank you so much! Your art has always been so inspiring to me and I'm always thrilled and in awe of what you are able to create. I'm so happy that things are looking up for you mentally and I love the bouncy energetic vibe of this year's portrait! Good luck in finishing your final year of college, and good luck with anything else you pursue! Thank you :')

    @betterlooking120 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been here since your Eridan and Cronus speedpaints, and I remember being in Awe of what you were capable of and wanting to be like you. I somehow had no idea you were only a few years older than me?? I'm in art school right now too. You're so insanely talented, and I'm so happy to see how you continue to grow in the future!!

  • @memoca.
    @memoca. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I remember being 12 and wanting to make digital art without even knowing that u needed a tablet if u want to hace pressure or sensitivity. You are one of my main inspirations to start digital art and I've always loved ur style- I've even tried to follow ur tutorials lol.
    Im so glad that you still over here making amazing art and improving overtime.
    I think I found ur channel thanks to my SU phase lol...

    I don't comment very often but this video really made me think of how your channel has affected me in so many positive ways. You were one of my biggest inspirations to start making digital art, and to later start making speedpaints! Watching your videos really helped me learn new techniques that I wouldn't have thought of without them. Thank you, Kiwi!!

  • @HuntingSunder
    @HuntingSunder 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You know, it's funny, because I was just watching a speedpaint from like... 2010? And it was jarring seeing something a decade+ later, and realizing just how much their art influenced my own. I had watched that speedpaint at least 30 times, and I almost felt like I had helped make it with how well I knew the strokes, and how much I had taken their strokes and used them to better my art.
    Not sure where I'm going with this comment, but you reminded me of that. And I'm so glad to see the difference between last year's portrait and this one.

  • @crystaltideVT
    @crystaltideVT 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    As someone who has been watching since your homestuck days (god this makes ME feel old) I've always looked up to your art techniques and the way you seemed to always improve with every piece. Knowing that you struggle with mental health issues as well really makes me feel like i'm not alone with my experiences and makes me respect you even more because i know how hard it is when your in that deep pit. The ability to grow is something so wonderful and i can't wait to see what you'll make next!

  • @hypnosithea7553
    @hypnosithea7553 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    ive been watching your videos for as long as i can remember and you have honestly been my biggest inspiration for art?? like whenever i think about what i want my art to look like i think of yours. your steven universe art was what inspired me to finally step out of my comfort zone of sparkle dogs and do more with my art!!! even if i dont watch your videos as much anymore i always look forward to your self portrait videos, your improvement between each one and the evolution of your style is so inspiring. i am so glad you are doing better mentally now and thank you for all of the content you've put out :)

  • @smilingpandabur

  • @Ama-si8tq
    @Ama-si8tq 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm glad to see from you again! I've watched (and rewatched) your videos since when you were using paint tool sai (I still use your brush configurations and some elements of your process on that software because you just taught me how to paint digitally, basically). I just wanted to say that I really really enjoy yoir videos and I'm happy to be one of the very assiduous constant viewers of your channel, lol. It's very nice to see how your "style" (or process, or... stuff. I'll go with style, I hope it's accurate) has changed over the years. I personally have been enjoying it. I admire how you're using more solid shapes in highlights and shadows and how natural it looks still. Also your color choices are amazing on this one. Hope to see more from you in the future, please take care!

    I remember allot of times, when I was in a bad situation in highschool, i'd go to watch your speedpaints and it would inspire me to make more art. I'm always so excited to see what you do next, especially with all your ocs :D

At the moment I am still practicing digital illustration but admiring your work is an impulse to keep going and improve my level. Thank you for sharing the good note of the music and if you listen to it. Love video and music production. The art of both is unique!

    Honestly Kiwi, I'm super happy to have found you on TH-cam. Your artwork inspired me to start my own journey to Digital art. I went from drawing by mouse using gimp, to using a drawing pad on Sai, and I've gotten so good so fast and now I get to make some money off of my art! If it wasn't for you I would have never gotten started as soon as I did. So thank you truly Kiwi. Your art is always amazing, you as a person will always be amazing, and I hope we help you keep fighting for your dreams like you helped me and others fight for ours! If I ever have to explain how I got started as a digital artist, I'm defiantly saying it all started finding your channel lol.
    Thanks for everything. ~Ashley
    P.S Your cat is super adorable jesus christ lol.

    this is so wonderful! i’ve been following your channel and watching your art grow since... it’s been awhile? since pretty close to the beginning I think :) i’m so happy to hear you speak about how youtube has helped you just like your art has helped all of us bring beautiful things into our lives
