The nine-year anniversary of the meeting of Mask Face is upon me Though Jan 17 is the customary, I have decided to celebrate both today AND tomorrow. Happy "birthday" my beautiful Muse... HOW I adore every theoretical atom of your intangible being! If your atoms were less theoretical and you more tangible, I would bake an amazing chocolatey burfday cake and make you eat some, so help me. xD

I didn't really have time to create a new anniversary-drawing (at least if I wanted it to be less lame than last year's ) so I did a kind of 'timeline' instead (and I'll be back with yet another thing tomorrow! ). This is probably why I got so off in my count with the years... apparently, when you do an anniversary, you DON'T include the original year in which the thing that you're Anniversarying actually occurred. Because look at this thing... it starts with 2009, the year that the Masky-Dream happened in my brain, and it has nine squares, and only goes to 2017... but 9+9 is 18... GAH it's confusing. :'D Oh well, it's just as well, because I haven't really got any great Masky-arts for this year yet. :'P

2009: I believe this is the first color-drawing of Masky that I ever did, ever. It's done in oil pastels and was made a mere two days after I had the dream. Masky is shown holding (and largely hiding behind) a mask that was made to loosely resemble Sekoiya the Kazzen , the older version of my 'fursona'/spirit-beast. That's how much I could ALREADY tell that Masky was closely bonded to my own individual spirit. :'D This was a couple months before I decided to make an official story around her, so at this point she was just an alluring shadowy entity fresh in my consciousness and not a 'character' yet.

2010: In all truth... I'm almost certain this drawing was actually made in 2009 as well. But the info for this file on my computer said 2010 so I rolled with it! Besides, 2010 was a DEAD year for Dreaming Esmeralda related stuff... I dug, and I dug, and I DUG, both in physical files and digital, but I could NOT find ANY Maskies clearly labeled with the date 2010. HOW did she go on the backburner SO quickly when she'd entered my awareness SO powerfully just the previous year? ...And how did I SURVIVE 2010 that way, furthermore?? ALSO! That purple dragon she's petting is a proto-version of Pan the Draggin . Yep, in the very beginning, PAN looked like THAT.

2012, '14, '15, and '17: I tried to give some air time to lesser-seen drawings with these choices... '12 and '17 are unfinished works (at least one could still get finished x3), and '14 and '15 were never posted to dA, only to my own website. I was super-duper torn between that unfinished face-shot and Music Wand for '17, though. x'P But this one's not been seen before and by golly, I just LOVE how her face came out, it's darn-near close to perfect. Sing the praises of the Drawing Goddess!

2011, '13, and '16: They can all be found in my gallery here if you care to poke. '11 is actually the first drawing of Masky I ever shared to dA. ^u^

Here's Part 2 of this year's celebratory art-shares. :3
