Deer

~Happy deer~

Two Years of Panda! A Celebration!

Buckle up, this is gonna get sappy, so here’s the short version: Thank you! I’ll keep pushing forward!

Exactly two years ago, I drew my first adoptable character—a deer girl. It took me about six days to create her, and I still love her to bits! Back then, I thought that was the peak of my skills, like I’d never do better. And now, check this out—I created a brand-new character from scratch in just seven hours! Wow. Little me would probably be proud—maybe a bit shocked that I’m drawing NSFW stuff now, but still proud, haha!

Guess who got me to this point? You. Yeah, I know, it sounds cheesy and cliché, and sure, my own hard work played a part, but there are people out there who’ve brought tears to my eyes just thinking about them. They’ve been my cozy bunker in the storm. I’m grateful for every single person I’ve interacted with—whether you dropped a lazy like, left a funny comment, bought a character and went on your way, or were kind and patient with me. Every bit of kindness and praise fuels my artist soul like nothing else.

But there are some extra-special people who’ve been unbelievably kind to me, and all I can offer in return is my hard work.

My dearest:

Missi, Sati, Crow, Tata, Denson, Rosie, Lucario Lover, Thomas, Neko, Salty, Neon.

I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done. Each of you is so unique, kind, and genuine. You’ve all helped me in different ways—cheering me up, keeping me from giving up, chatting endlessly, and having a blast together. I’m so grateful I became an artist and got to meet you all. It’s like some kind of magic that I’ve crossed paths with such amazing people. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and support!

Missi, words can’t express how grateful I am for you. Your stubborn belief in me kept me going when I might’ve given up. You’re like my silent knight, always there to help when this silly Panda gets herself into trouble. Thank you for everything.

To all of you—thank you! I’m not stopping anytime soon, and I’ll keep pouring my heart into getting better. Writing this, I’ve cried a few times and thought about how lucky I am to be Pink Peach Panda.

Am I a perfect artist? Pfft, hardly. Deadlines? Yeah, they’re called that for a reason, and I’ve messed them up plenty. But I’m trying, and I’ll keep trying to make you all happy. Back when otome games and manga helped me through depression, I decided I wanted to give something back to the world. That’s why I draw—to create beautiful things that might make someone smile, laugh, or even cringe for a second. Any emotion is a good emotion! I’m here for it all, even the cringe, haha.

Here’s to hoping your life is filled with as many joyful moments as possible.

Thank you for reading this!

With love,

Panda
