Supporting your Local Artist and Thanking your Fans

[Jethal]

<DIV>As an artist in the EverQuest I & II communities, I enjoy the creative outlet that my parodies/satires & occasional artwork allow me.  I simply love performing and nothing makes me happier than making someone squirt soda out of their nose while hearing one of my songs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But what I love most of all, is simple words of appreciation from those who enjoy my work.  example.. I've played other games, either seriously, or just to try them out.. on Every Single Game.. I've used the name "Jethal".. and on Every Game, someone sends me a /tell, out of the blue, and asks if I'm the guy who makes the songs in EQ.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I LOVE THAT - it boosts my spirit, it inspires me to do better.</DIV> <DIV>Anything from "Good Job" .. to the extreme (had a guy track me down in Dragons Necropolis (EQ1) once, just to take a screenshot with me).. just feels so good.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the same statement here.. allow me to thank the fans - I love performing for you and it's YOU who give me that creative outlet.  If it weren't for you, my roomate, Anne, would have killed me long ago.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you enjoy what we do</DIV> <DIV>or if you enjoy doing..</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Let it be heard here in the Fan Art forums.</DIV>

<DIV>I was very happy when I stumbled upon these forums one day, and it was neat to see the other artists.  I have always appreciated the art and talent of other gamers.  I can say that it inspired me to want to start to create my own art some years ago and I never looked back. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know what you mean by it is nice to have a creative outlet, and I found one of your songs a long time ago and enjoyed it because of having been in those spots and seeing the things you talked about.  Keep up the music and poetry.  I know that I enjoy it.  *hugs*</DIV>
