One of my earliest avatars and my first ever avatar art. It was drawn by Monochrome Ayaka. I remember I had next to no money back then (less than 1ook pure and a few 1ook total) and I didn't think I could afford to buy any avatar art. Of course, my avatar wasn't spectacular like so many other people's were which meant no one would want to draw mine. Then one day I'm surfing around and I get a private message from her. I opened it and she said something to the effect of "I saw your post in the forums. Thought I'd give you a freebie!" and with it was this beautiful drawing.
I was so excited I put it on my profile and it's been there ever since as a reminder of how far I've come and of people's kindness. heart
