LIFTING THE WEIGHTS YOU CALL LIFE *randomness 3.0*

ART HISTORY + HOW TABBI WAS CREATED

As most of you know, I art a lot and way too much.
Whenever I'm at school, I have a blank piece of paper and I'm just doodling the most random shit on there.
So yeah.
.__.

But let's start at the beggining- ((sorry, no pictures right here))
SECOND GRADE
*breathes in*
*breathes out*
That was where it alll started.
The eyes looked like small footballs with circles in them...
And the hands looked like tentacles.
And if I made the eyes look straight ahead, it looked like some demon spawn.
So my drawings always looked to the side.
Until 5th grade, I dropped drawing for a bit.
I returned to a similar style, and the bodies looked like sticks.
Once I realized my people were terrible, I moved onto animals...
AND FURRIES.
But with the animals, I drew mostly cats. And the cats had the skinniest bodies, awkwardest legs and weirdest noses. I can't even....
But FURRIES.
FURRRRRRRIIIIIEEEESSS.
WHAT EVEN-
Let me give you an example of something furry I drew-

No, this was SIXTH GRADE
THE YEAR OF CRINGE
That was when I started making terrible comics ._.
They didn't make sense, they didn't have plot and they weren't even funny.

Then I just sorta quit for a while.
Yeah, a lotta giving up :/

But then, it came back earlier this year when I joined Wattpad.
Well, 2016 and that was the summer time.
I drew cats and wolves and such, and my humans still SUCKED.
But then, school rolled around and then came Tabbi...
I can't even believe I still draw her and use her, but that's because she's in her own story now.

I first made her in a roleplay, a fandom one at that, and I was going to put her in the Black Butler fandom.
I thought I was SO clever since she was a neko AND a demon, but then I realized she was that awkward puzzle piece that didn't fit.
So that never worked.
When I started drawing her, my inspiration came from Inu Yasha, an anime about a demon-dog.
Yeah....I still don't know about that idea.
But I just ditched it all and drew her literally everywhere.
Then I realized she could be a great British person •O•
AND IT WORKED.
I used to sit next to my cousin in one of my classes, and we just draw on a random sheet of paper.
So, I started drawing, and I drew the most random lil person next to Tabbi, crouching, asking "ARE YOU CRAZY?"
And she responded, very simply, "Yes".
My cousin saw this and had a fangirl attack. She just went liek "I SHIP ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"
And I respond "Dood, this guy doesn't exist, he's just there to make this lil thing have a point."
She says "IMA NAME HIM ROSS AND IMA SHIP IT!"
And that's how our story started.
But that's not where this timeline ends...
I soon met another classmate, who was also in my class I had with my cousin and my homeroom, who had a large interest in art like me.
We were buds (still are) and she soon showed me good 'old Nine. She also shows me another one of her OCs named Syn and she says
"Hmm, I was wondering if I should ship these two together..."
My response-
"NO! I has a better idea! Who not with Tabbi?"
And I felt like a f*cking genius.
She says "YES." and asks me for Tabbi reference.
Then, we started writing the greater frame of the story (you can check out her profile, FanficFanatic22 and go to her story NinexTabbi if you would be pleased to know more. We're writing a shit-ton irl).
We're still writing it.
And all our ships came true c:
But its still not the end.
Oh well.

Cody wuvs you :3
