If you are specific to Newegrounds you may not know *DestinyBlue, but, she posts wonderful artwork over on DeviantART. She is one of my largest inspirations and is the sole reason I started trying to take art seriously. I remember the first time I came to DeviantART I saw her piece "She's brOKen" and that made me think, "wow, I want to create something like that." It was clever and had emotional impact. Though nothing I have posted is anywhere near her level and my art is still in its infancy as I try to improve my technical ability, seeing her art is what gave me the drive to start posting in the first place. So I drew this to say Thank You as well as Happy Birthday.

This piece was also a way of challenging myself artistically. With the over the head angle, putting in some sort of background (though it's still simple lol), as well as working on a much larger canvas than I have in the past.
