600  WATCHERS  WHOA!!!

As it turns out i exceeded 500 watchers without even knowing it.
I JUST figured out how to check and see my exact number of watchers
I'm so slow!
Usually i do dragons to celebrate, but i was so stoked and speechless and as i started working on this piece i thought i'd make it in part to celebrate the 600 watchers mark
It's like 605 or something now, the number's rising and i wouldn't have it any other way ^v^

So this is just a third of the reason for this.
The other is, i'm two days away from hitting a milestone in my age.
21 years is like a coming of age for youth, marking the legal drinking age while also being a large inspiration to gain independence and grow up.
I've talked to my dad about learning to drive, and there is talk that he may take me in the Spring to start!
I sincerely hope it happens, because driving is crucial in independence.
         On my birthday my sister is going to take me to get my ID updated, and then the day after we're going to a VERY small Hacienda dinner and i will be given my first margarita
_{I'll probably hate the taste of alcohol, i almost guarantee i won't like it hahaha!}
Oh and also on my actual birth day, later after getting my ID updated my small family and i will go down to my dad's for a shared cake between me and my sister, whose birthday will be on the 12th!!
AAAND my dog Milo's birthday is on the 11th, i mean it could not be more perfect!
         It's like after weeks of hell and exhaustion, and while STILL being in an odd place, the stars are finally aligning in my favor. 
God doesn't promise us a tomorrow, let alone that it will be good.
But i wanna look forward to something -- it's been a long time since i looked forward to something, so this is like looking up at a white light after sitting in the dark for centuries.
Thank you, God!

NOW THIRD OF ALL, as you all know...
I have a girl crush on Rihanna.
The woman is literally the speaking and singing voice i've chosen for Zanza, and also a huge part of her just as a whole.
Intimidating, sexy but also very maternal and thoughtful with a strong sense of love and friendship.
This artwork as a whole was inspired but Rihanna's song "Pour it Up", a fav of mine at the moment (along with "Hard").
The middle image was based SOLELY off what she wears in the music video, an outfit i sincerely want her hubby to see her in and drool over, and the other two were inspired by tidbits of stuff i've seen her wear in pics and vids
Also note, Zanza is wearing three different editions of Vortian earrings!
There's been some anticipation for this so i hope you like them on her!!!

Zanza may not be famous in her fandom or in her career, but she's a superstar in my heart and i think she deserves the strong effort i put into this piece of her, as with the framing and editing of this work.
As a bonus, i have also divided up each individual pic of her and spent several HOURS experimenting and editing them and making sure everything is just right, and i will post them
I've put this girl through a lot, so she deserves to party every once in a while and i LOVE using her to represent my feelings of success and impending growth.


                Beyond the art, the watchers and the birthday, i just wanna say again how grateful i am for all of you guys.
The compliments, the comments, and rooting me through my tough times and always having my back all means more than i can express.
So all in all, this art is for YOU.
Kitten, AsphaltCat, CQ1, Tijopi11, Spectra22, Zhidkovv and SO SO many others.
I love ALL of you, with the list growing i can't possibly name you all but you see this, and know you're appreciated.



    

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
