Patch The Alpha X Reader **GOING THROUGH REVAMP**

(2)

Over the course of a few weeks, I had made myself at home in the Patchie Pack. I met a lot of great friends? Webby, Elise, Flipachu, and many more. One day, I realized: I haven't drawn digitally in so fucking long. Maybe. I should make Patch- Fanart? Nahh, I suck at drawing headdresses. But- I have to give it a try, I've always wanted to draw him. That Fishstick sword meme that someone started by addressing the fact Patch kept slamming random mobs with a raw cod. Yes! I'll draw a headshot of Patch holding the Fishstick sword in his mouth! I got onto my phone, went to YouTube, and began playing Optimus's videos in the background whilst I sketched the head of Patch The Alpha on my iPad screen.

When I got the lineart and coloring down, I uploaded the art in the Patchie Pack Discord server; "li'l wip! Just gotta shade, then I'll be done!"

"I like it so far!" Someone said.

"Thank You!" I replied. Suddenly, Patch popped in.

"Woah (y/un), that looks really good; can't wait to see the finished product!" He said. My motivation to continue was already high, but this time, it rose to an all time high. I've gotta finish this! I'll show him.

After 2 hours that seemingly lasted 30 minutes, I signed my artwork: (artist sig). Time to deliver. Not gonna lie, It was a little nerve racking. This was the first time I ever spoke to the Alpha directly.

I slid into Patch's dms, and sent him the finished artwork, Along with "here's the finished piece! I hope ya enjoy it!".

Patch replied with, "Omg thanks so much that is awesome!! Tysm for spending so much time on it, you're a great artist" My heart. It felt so- warm all of the sudden. I involuntarily began to widely grin.

"You're welcome, and thank you! That really means a lot, honestly." I replied. I took a few more seconds to digest what had occurred.

The next day, Patch posted the art in the big PP pack Discord, announcing he would repost it to Instagram. This feeling, help. My motivation is hopelessly flooding over. I felt a burst of energy I haven't felt in awhile. Hmm. I've never been over on his Instagram page before. Might as well take a lookie now. The repost of the art.

"Amazing art of me wielding the legendary fishstick sword from the MINECRAFT livestream I did by @(y/un) 😆👏🏼 Hope you guys enjoy the livestreams in-between uploads, if you wanna see more of me, tune in! (This Meme originates from when I played mc like a pro and beat every mob with a fish (even enderman)." The likes. They rose to near 40. If y'all want more of my art, oh I'll make sure to give it to you.

I stayed away from Instagram and all other social medias for a while, seeing them as downright pointless. But now, there's a point. I began pumping out posts of different artworks I did. When I reached the end, I decided; I would use Instagram. It's actually, surprisingly fun. (Real talk: Thanks Patch uwu).

Later.

It was pitch black in my room, and I was all snuggled up in my bed. I was getting the hang of this art and Instagram thing. Distractions AJ read a reply Patch made off of her laptop;

"If you don't like it, then piss off." I heard from the Content Critique I was watching. 'Piss off.' Pfft, sounds like something he'd say. I think I have my next art idea.

The next morning.

"Omg, thanks so much, that is awesome!!"

"You're a great artist."

"Great artist." I echoed in my mind. This feeling was too much for me, I was overloaded with motivation. I had to release it or my stomach would probably most likely explode. I grabbed my phone, started listening to Patch The Alpha Content Critiques, and began to sketch.

3 hours in, I've finished lining, and was nearly half done coloring. My stomach didn't growl, but it began to pulsate. Hunger; I was hungry. Food can wait, I need to finish this. I powered through; nothing can stop my everlasting drive and motivation of making Patch Fanart. I spent 5 hours straight drawing. Heck, usually I'd get demotivated like a minute in. That 5 hour long drawing session really drained me, but at the same time, satisfied me. If only I had that type of motivation for art class..
