under cut for size

I've been a member for a year already? Didn't seem that long!

Yes thats right, after almost a year of inactivity I am returning to this joyous community!! I am a totally different person now. Since I made this when I was fourteen and a lot has happened since then. So hello people and their deers!!

Hey guys, so lately I've been drawing group pictures of animal guides. If you're not familiar with how they work, please feel free to read a little about them here.

Essentially, animals are always trying to speak to us. Some animals are signs of good luck, some animals warn of danger. Many of them appear in our lives and even our dreams to teach us.

If you are familiar with your animal totems, I wanted to offer to draw them for you. I've drawn mine as well as FaunGrae's totems so far. All I really need to know are what animals you associate with, and either a scene or season to use for the background.

If you don't know your totems, here are some good guidelines as to which ones may be your guides and totems:

- Your favorite animal, one you love dearly, is often a totem. Even if it was an animal you appreciated in your childhood, they may have been protecting you.
- Any animal you see in your daily life that often visits you.
- Any animal you see in dreams often, or even any animal that randomly appears in a vision.
- There is a Native American zodiac that identifies an animal close to you.
- You can also include animals you have a difficult time with, especially animals you are afraid of. They are there to teach as well.

It helps to be observant of the world around you. Maybe you see an animal all the time and just never realize they're there for you.

The Universe has no mercy for those of us like me,
The shadows in the background,
A leaf on a tree.

A certain wolf once spoke to me,
Of the times ahead,
I paid her no heed,
As she was a voice in my head.

Shikami, Shikami,
Why didn't I listen,
You warned me of everything to come,
And I refused to listen.

My heart rejected everything,
Everything but the false truth that it provided,
All of the true feelings I truly had for someone.

Now that wolf has parished,
Never to be seen,
She has been replaced by a dark, black machine.

My aura became clear to me,
But only after this:
I had been awakened,
By the harsh reality.

Lìngqì came to follow me,
To guide me from above,
But truly if she has helped,
I would not have fallen,
Fallen to the dark trench of Trauma.

Lavender and crystal take advantage of my soul,
So everyone thinks I have no heart, but coal.

My friends do not believe it, and neither do I,
But if no-one believes,
Then why should I.

The only thing that worries me,
Is one troubled thought,
Running 'round in circles,
'Round and 'round my head at night in my cot.

The one that I have feelings for,
Has never truly seen my soul.

I reckon we all know I've had a shit ton of characters in the past three-and-a-half years, and made new pictograms without reusing old ones. So I present to you - 26 pictograms to be...traded.

Art, writing, something will suffice. I'm not asking for something huge, something that takes you forever to do, but for the Gen1 pictograms in particular it'd be nice to recieve something in return. A lot of these pictograms have been attatched to characters that mean a lot to me, for a long time, especially the Gen1s.

I'd also like a reason why you want the pictogram. This will likely be mainly a first-come-first-serve thing, but I do have the right to choose someone else to have the pictogram you want. And of course I'll need your email to send you the password C:

If the time comes where you no longer use and/or want the pictogram, let me know so I can give it to somebody else.
