guys I just realized that i first joined scratch this month and i just want to takes some time to acknowledge the improvement I’ve gone through since then!!! (Long Story Warning owo) I joined in 2016 under the username @StarCrosser but never shared my projects because i look at top loved and see people who can animate and draw so much better than me i watched animation meme since I was 7 so i wanted to find a safe place to make animations since i was too young to go to yt,, few years later, i see commercial on Cartoon Network for this really cool animation and coding website called Scratch?? What? What’s that???? :000 in fact the first project i watched was an animation comp! but then i see people like @Yunnie2005 who was still active a lot here so i remixed a bunch of her projects because i loved and yes i went through a copying and recoloring stage but then i learned that that’s kinda,, not good ;w; so this was around the time i created the oc that is most dear to me and i would never part with her, Star (i copied the Marionette from FNAF, i was big fan, but over time she became her own person :DD) And so with her I was like,, “well we can’t just have ONE oc!” so i remake star based off of Noname from @Rebeat because i loved how noname looked uwu but i made a point to only copy the mask! Now i would have a steady grasp on how to kinda draw with bitmap and could do basic shading! i still keep my account private, i didn’t want to release my projects because i was still a noob uwu I make a pop culture meme, and that is my first experience with making a universal oc backstory! Star and Flight both have evil, almost demonic sides of themselves that only want to be set free from their bodies. And you know who wants to stop this?? Electro!! My little grey/yellow cat that i like to draw every once in a while. I would never settle on a design for her, sometimes switching entire patterns on her body to changing her gender and body type, but the design you see on my account @spokyscaryskeletons is what she looks like today uwu she was a boy for a long time, im currently thinking about representing that point in her existence as her being trans? like i don’t know why i switch her gender so much but it was at least 6 times i think :0 ok so i mentioned that i like fnaf, huh? ok well now this was also where i learned about AUs. I wanted a fnaf au that had an original thing in it. So i created an oc called Kitlo, a kangaroo who is animatronic (yes he still exists, and is still an animatronic oc or mine) he was a test of personality. ok so at this time, i decided that i wanted to do something! I had used scratch for nearly a year and never upload anything ever! so i made a few trash projects and then i made a who dis meme which was my first experiment with my own original coding. (if you search who dis meme it’s the first one that comes up!!! :D) i upload it and am absolutely blown away with the fact that i get actual people watching and remixing my project?? wOAhhH that’s never happened before!!! So i hang out on @spokyscaryskeletons for a little while, make a bunch of projects. (Including my soup store project that @MistCat remixed and i was so exciteddddd) but then my computer starts slowing down when i get on that one, and im tired of my username and being called Spoky so I decide to create a new account! I’m in 7th grade at this point and instead of work like a good student i slack off and make animations and my first dta under the new name of @VoidStitches (i got the user idea from fantasynamegenerators website and by my own creativity!) i make slightly better content and can animate and release unique projects and eventually still get lot of attention that i didn’t deserve for my art quality at the time,, Now at this point I’m a dumb scratcher who has maybe 100 followers on this account and i use scratch too much now that I’m in 8th grade and im going to basically fail my classes because i want to finish my animations on time! I drop out of map parts and dtaes regularly, i don’t sleep well trying to finish, i became stressed and was completely overwhelmed with things i had to do. So i quit. There was no other option for me, i had to work on myself and give myself some time to heal from the wound i had caused. I had created another account around the time i made the void account (it doesn’t exist anymore but the projects do, just search SphynxCat0 in search) and i was making a few projects in there, avoiding my responsibilities on void account. But still, i wanted to quit that one too, and i ultimately did. But i still wanted to do scratch. I wanted to be an inspiration to someone, to help others and let them help me,, i wanted to grow as an artist! I had joined da and stuff but i missed being here with you guys! about 3 months after @voidstitches I created just one more account. In the end, I took a very long hiatus, got my life together, and made things i was proud of for once ;3
