Description EDIT: touched up some bare spots I overlooked.
Warning: big description!

First off: I do wanna say thank you to everyone here on DA, to all my friends, watchers, aritsts, stalkers and everything else in between, without you guys, I wouldn't be here today.

So yes for all you paying attention to me: the reason why these been such little art activity in my gallery, well...*points to the picture* this is the reason, this monster of a picture was originally started on Nov. 1st and was finished yesterday (Feb. 12th) over 2 months (not 3) in the making, during the making of this was suppose to be my birthday picture back in January, but due to work and some other unseen circumstances I was forced to put it on hold, it never got finished on time. so instead of a super late birthday gift art to myself, I decided to make it my DA anniversary gift with a combination of this picture being my 100th uploaded picture. (even thought about a fourth of my gallery are emotes. )

Why would I make such a large picture? as I mentioned before, its a dedication to thank everyone who's been watching me, paying attention, and above all inspired me to draw myself, whether it be recently or since the very beginning, many people draw for many different reasons, as for me: alot of times I don't consider my artwork great. in fact when I first joined DA I had no intention of drawing, I started to draw by popular demand (and it all started with this picture) mainly because no one inspired me to do so, one of my biggest problems letting other people opinions get the better of me, even my own family told me I couldn't draw and I was just wasting my time, but I don't draw to make it big, I draw because it makes me happy and makes others happy and get a laugh out of it too. like gaming, its just a hobby I do, not to mention meet people who share similar interests as I. sometimes when comments and replies fly my way and when I don't reply back, doesn't mean I don't care, I do enjoy reading my comments and replies very much, because it tells me you guys are interested in my stuff and opinions, when you post something I don't comment it, doesn't mean I don't like it, its much the opposite, seeing artwork from you guys always brightens my day regardless its a picture for me, a picture of Daisy or just anything that shakes my interests, plus it gives me respect on how much time and effort that goes into each picture, it always makes me wonder how cool and awesome your guys talent really is.

So who’s in the picture? 20 of my closest friends and biggest inspirations. (left to right)

top row:

middle row:

bottom row:


Note: Just because you're not in the picture doesn't mean I don't care about you, but the fact of the matter is, there are just too many people to do so. in fact I ended up cutting out alot of people for various reasons, if I could I'd put in everyone in. but doing so means I would of never finished this picture, so please no complaints on who in it or why their not in it.

FAQ:
Q: why is *Alvin-Earthworm choking...whoever...?
A: for all those who don't know Alvin, hes quite the Anthro artist with alot of impressive stuff, but the one project that really sticks out for him is his flash sprite cartoon series, SMBZ (Super Mario Bros Z) and if you go to his front page, almost every other day, theres always some troll always asking about the next episode of SMBZ, and that person that Alvin is choking represents that common everyday troll always forgetting that alvin is just then a person makes sprites fight one another.

Q: why is *YoshiMan1118 holding two cakes?
A: If your familiar with YoshiMan's cartoons, then you know what's going to happen, if your not then let me give you the 411. his comics are just crazy, with alot of cartoon related humor and gags. but the most commons are injuring Daisy in someway, to putting cake in his friends faces on their birthdays, (before retiring from the caking business supposedly) and since this is my birthday picture, I'm about to get my cakes. (for the record YM, I had already drawn your character before you announced your retirement, back in November.)

Q: what the heck is with *ErnestoGP arms and face?
A: what he is doing is this: you see...about 90% of Erines posts and commons he'll always post the yayzplz icon oddly enough, why? who knows, I think it's funny, and with that, I thought it was perfect facial expression to give him at the time.

Q: why are *sonicpeach and *dimitryryutta holding Daisy and Rosalina?
A: there not the real or mini Daisy and Rosalina, but rather small plushies of them, like myself, sonicpeach has a big crush on Daisy and Dimitry goes for the same with Rosalina.

Q: what was the point of this FAQ?
A: to reduce the amount of common questions that might be asked.

With that said...Thank you everyone for supporting me and inspiring me in someway, heres to many more pictures from me to come.

Thank you so much Nat, that was one of the biggest problems I had in the picture (next to time) was figuring out where to put everyone that didn't have interaction with someone, plus trying to think of individuals poses as well, I will admit drawing your character was fun too, only thing I didn't like is the shape of your head, (too oval, XP) as for YM, to me he'll be known about that with me because it was one of his random cake comics is how I first discovered him.

Thank you so much again.

glad to see that, out of all the wonderful artists here on DA, I am one of the ones that most inspire you. it makes me feel all warm inside knowing that my art and personality actually makes a good impact on someone. and you seem to have gotten my emotion pretty spot on as well. XP

I would say more, but I am a man of few words. :b

That is correct good sir, even thought it was your mugen Daisy is how I first found out about you, the fact that you can sprite, draw, make plushies AND make costumes, I thought right away: "damn, this guy is the jack of all trades" I'd kill if I do one of those four things with such great skill, and for that it deserved a spot on my piccy.

And this pic is totally the equivalent of awesome and WIN put together for one happy engagement of epicness! I do particularly enjoy the double cake wielding threat above your head LuigiUser and the Troll choking earthworm to the far right. And most of all I think you drew Wesker Werewolf awesomely! This whole conglomerate of characters and people is an awesome way to celebrate 100 deviations and to honor all the cool people you know!

Most awesome job dude!

Yay, remember back when I told you I was planning on making a group picture? (back in your laptop days) well...this is it. quite a bit of planning went into this and even thought I still wanna to add more characters in to it, I still think it came out great.

and yes, I was going to draw your human form, but decided to take a challenge a farer and draw a werewolf form Wesker, and I will admit it was a bit tough a first, (I think you still need more fur) once I got the face down the rest was easy peasy.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. : D

You have no idea how happy this made me. Despite my whole art slump you've been kind enough to include me in this picture. You're so awesome!

It kinda inspires me to really put something out there because I don't wanna let any of my friends down. You've been a great pal very close to my beginning here! (And yes, I still have the jupiter statue to bought for me on my desk. It holds my hairties! Lmao)

Again, thank you for including me and thank you for still watching me as well. *squishers*

Gallagon In reply to SMeadows [2011-02-16 15:01:25 +0000 UTC]

Of course I would include you and still watch you, as I mention many times in the past in my book, you're one of the most underrated artists I know on DA, you've had an DA account longer then me, drawn WAY more pictures then I, commented others artworks then I and yet, I still have pageviews then you? something isn't right, your fan art is awesome, but what won me over was your adventures of you and Javi, WAY back in the day. plus your an shining example of: "never stop drawing" and for that, that deserves a spot in my piccy.

And I totally forgotten about that sailor Jupiter statue. XP;;

SMeadows In reply to Gallagon [2011-02-16 19:16:23 +0000 UTC]

lmao I know..I don't get the love, yo. XD I must not network as well as you or something. You've got quite the following! XD Maybe it's the comics. People keep coming back for your funny comics. XD

But isn't that just how DeviantART really is? Someone could put a ton of time and effort into something and not get near as many hits as someone who randomly scribbles a Pokemon sketch. XD It's just the way life is, I suppose.

It's actually refreshing to hear that you've kept interested with my Team Sniper Brigade more than just my fanart. It actually gives me hope that people actually LOOK at my OC's lmao Thank you, Frank. XD I may have to start a comic thing with ATSB and kick 's arse into gear to write for me. XD We must breathe life into theeeeemmm! *shakes fist*

Lmao you did?!?! HOW???? Well I guess you're just that nice of a guy. XP She sits right next to my monitor!

well this is the big image you were telling me about. Well how about that, it features all the artists who you must find motivational. That's always good to have source of inspiration. No doubt. My only inspiration deactivated his account. The reason why my Daisy image are still going strong. Thanks to his style I seem as if I adapted it.I really like the way you have this set up. I have to say that your image did come out pretty well. All the hard work and effort you were explaining is shown in the vibrant colors, the amount of characters and in your description. Now I don't mind reading AC's no matter the length because my AC's are pretty much really lengthy. Anyway, it maybe 7:47 am but seeing me i this image actually made me feel as if I'f somehow motivated you to. I am unsure what role I played but all in all, it's really good to see such a fascinating group of talented artists.
