great gifs, Erin.
#2 should be "you're" not "your" though

Great arts, Erin! Specially the banner with animation in it

Oh I really like that new icon
Great coloring

Those are lovely, I like the fade you've used on the colours.

Tia,

wow what a post! I didn't know you were going to take it so hard me leaving, but you have and I felt bad about it and I really appreciate the advice it really got to me and made me re-think about my decision. I think you are right about when you said to keep on going and learning from tutorials even though me and tutorials don't mix very well.

That said your lucky you had a friend who recognized your talent because I didn't; I had no one to notice mine. I put my thread up by myself. I think that also factored in my reasoning for why I wanted/needed to quit posting on here and being frustrated because no one ever told me I had any talent for art making. I just decided one day that I was going to try it out and see what happened. I wish someone had let me know I had art making talent because then I think it would have made me push to post up an arts/make a thread I mean without already done it myself if you know what I mean.

I'm going to and take Tia's advice, try my best from now on to think positive about my arts and keep on trying to practice more and just believe in myself I guess. Maybe it's time to just wipe the slate clean and start over in my thread and forget I even quit/took a break, move on so to speak if that makes any sense.

By the way Tia thank you for showing me some examples of your work that you did when you first started. To me it doesn't look very bad at all actually.
