Description I am the slowest “band wagon” jumper in the history of forever, eternally.

ALLLLLRIGHT. So. This would be me through the ages: only I wanted to take a new twist on the entire thing ANNNDDD draw what fashion/style I was stuck in, including the most prevalent character of that time phase was. Go me right?
If someone else has done this then WOOPS NOT LIKE I CHECK THIS STUFF.

So a brief summarization since I’ll know I’ll need one, but I doubt people will read this:

DOOPDOOP, first character was a cat, named Kendra the cat- I was the most creative 3 year old ever. I obviously didn’t draw as “well” as I displayed here but that’s how I saw her in my head for the most part. That or just a regular tabby- it varied between the two. But I chose the more cartoony approach since I loved Tail’s the fox from the sonic the hedgehog series a lot.
Didn't feel comfortable with the age 10 one because I sorta dislike that stage of my life SO I REMOVED IT. hacha.
I begun doing anime after I met a girl around here that did it, I was so emotionally disturbed and developed intrusive cases of detrimental thoughts, guilt, and depression that I didn’t know what else to do- I wanted to become someone else. It’s taken me years to come to terms with this. I can’t even remember large chunks of my life from when I was 10, 11, and 12 due to this reason- most of it’s a blur, I only remember vague snippets. DOOP DDERP. Awww messed up lil cookie. Not trying to be a sob fest, just trying to state facts. Because I am like a text book- AND MY CAT IS DROOLING ON ME.
I continued to do anime, I still wasn’t being true to myself, I think for an excessive period I just didn’t want to know who I was because I didn’t think I was worth getting to know, So I continued to do things others liked, others enjoyed- people pleaser, mainly.
Oh and the synesthesia thing isn’t NEW I had that since I was a kid, I only realized what it WAS when I was 17. Along with a lot of other things, which brings me to say:
Never underestimate how much there is to learn and STILL learn about yourself.

AND NOW HERE I AM. Stuff happened annnndddd yeup, that’s about it, stuff happens, people change, people develop new ideals and new takes due to life experience.
Everyone does it. I did it- it took me until I was 16 to realize what I wanted to do. And while that’s a bit “late” in some people’s eyes, here I am. And I don’t really mind that.

I hope I don’t regret saying all that information above, ughghhg….

and yet your art is still so cute!

i love how your style eventually started to resemble the past style you first started with but is much more unique! lol it's funny how almost every artist out there has at least once drawn in a anime style x'D
and the hair...get soooo silky and soft looking~ yaaay stripes!


i really like how you share your thoughts, it's just so inspiring! you are truly one sweet and honest artist C:

Ohgod. The boy's clothes/baggy clothing era. Men's jeans are super-comfortable and I wish I could wear them all the time....except I can't. I went through that. Aaaaaand got picked on for it. TT^TT freshie year of highschool wasn't totally kind to me.

5-year-old you is quite adorable. The snail puppet is a total win in my book. I'm nearly 17 and still have a bedspread set that's got insects and snails on it along with a scarf from ages ago with bugs on it. Snails. Are. Adorable.

Mmmmyup. random "AND MY CAT IS DROOLING ON ME" made that sentence very interesting to read. xD

Well, just read your comments - maybe I should do that first next time! That's quite a lot of different types of synesthesia. That's great that you get to experience so many different, totally unique, and awesome ways of experiencing the world!

Does the tonal perception help you musically? I have a friend that perceives pitches as different heights, and is able to know perfect pitch thanks to it - she's a great help to me, since I mainly sing by ear (I can play musical instruments using notes, but I haven't been able to do the same with my voice).

Sorry by overloading you with comments - I just tend to talk/write a lot.

it only helps me in remembering songs almost instantaneously- I can't actually write or read music but I can remember melodies especially well because of it.

Perhaps I do have some form of synesthesia. Or I'm just weird - because I'm a human jukebox. I hear certain lyrics (used in normal conversation) or part of a melody, and just burst into song.

Wowey [2010-10-19 02:11:19 +0000 UTC]

Wow! This is a very wonderful glance at who you are - nice to meet you!

I think it's awesome that you have synesthesia. My dad has synesthesia when it comes to letters and numbers - he sees them in his mind as colors. I always wondered why he could remember such long strands of numbers (He has every card number he owns memorized), and one day I finally learned about synesthesia and told my parents how cool it sounded to me. And that was the day he learned that he had synesthesia. I actually ended up giving a report on it a year later, and everyone thought it was fascinating. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what kind of synesthesia do you have?

cloudbabykc In reply to Wowey [2010-10-19 02:15:43 +0000 UTC]

Nice to meet you too!
I have more predominately personification and sound synesthesia apposed to number and letter synesthesia, though I can SEE them in colour my memory isn't as sharp as your fathers' must have been/is, but if you were to ask me what colour words are- I could give you the gradient I see. Nevertheless that's really interesting!

Looks like I missed this comment by a few seconds - I had just read your previous comments, so I was going to try and not make you explain yourself again.

Wow! That is amazing. Sometimes I really wish I had synesthesia - it would make the world so much more interesting!

My dad told me that with his synesthesia, some colors are more dominant, so words and numbers will usually take the color of the dominant numbers/letters. For example, he told me that when I was 17, my age was white. At 18 (where I am now ), he told me it was purple (He also sees the letter 'A' as red, which is apparently the most common color for it).

cloudbabykc In reply to Wowey [2010-10-19 02:35:10 +0000 UTC]

I see A as red too! Does he see R as red? or E as green? XD I usually see a letters change colour depending on dominate letters as well like for example- my dad's name is Roy- because R is such a striking RED for me I see the entire word as red, but id I broke it apart, y is yellow and o is white

Wowey In reply to cloudbabykc [2010-10-19 02:49:40 +0000 UTC]

Oops - correction. I actually told you wrong earlier. 17 is white, 16 is purple, and 18 is orange. Actually, orange and black, since 1's black, but the other numbers are more dominant, so it comes out as orange.

He sees M and P as shades of red, and told me he didn't see any greens, then corrected himself and said that F was a dark green.

Isn't it interesting that there are so many similarities in such a different mental ability? Thanks for sharing.

cloudbabykc In reply to Wowey [2010-10-19 03:01:35 +0000 UTC]

That's humorous! 1 is white for me XD a completely opposite side of the spectrum on that one. 17 is purple while 16 is red for me (since 6 is red)

it is interesting c8 it's fascinating really, thanks for sharing yourself- I always find it enjoyable to hear of peoples different experiences.

That is so interesting! There are things that are similar and shared among most people with synesthesia, and then those things that vary extremely from person to person.

And thank you for having this conversation! I love talking with and meeting new people. It's been wonderful - thanks for all the great experiences, yourself.

Hmmmm...Maybe that's why I drool in awe of all your very animated works (and that synesthesia sounds like it might contribute...)

The fact that you have synesthesia, and see stuff in color, is...crazy. 8O I've heard of it before, but it's just hard to imagine (for me) having that reaction all of the time. I guess it's either really cool or really distracting. I wouldn't know though..

Maybe I should do this meme, SOME DAY.

Okay, Kendra the Cat looks like Bonkers. Maybe it's the whiskers, but I swear she looks like Bonkers. Couldn't control your voice level, huh? You're just like my sister.

I must say, you still do an excellent Manga style, even if it's not "true to yourself". And LOL at Sirius become a pissy anti-hero- we all went through that phase, didn't we? Also, I want that hat you always wore.

I know it's a personal question, but was there any particular reason you were so angry and depressed at that age? If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, I understand.

cloudbabykc In reply to SergeantLuke [2010-10-19 00:35:40 +0000 UTC]

LOL well I do remember watching the Disney channel at that age so perhaps an unknown influence? Really she resembled old-school tails, in actuality. Tails with... blue lighting shaped stripes.

I still have that hat! I had a black and a brown one I wore persistently. all the time. it was ridiculous.

Many reasons, mental frustration, self loathing- et cetera, et cetera.
There were a lot of fabricated conglomerations that surfaced after emotional trauma at the age of 10 and continually up until 18 really. Blah blah blah.
