I voted for ya! And I'm sorry that people were unkind to you in the past about your art skills... I think your drawing is cute! :) Drawing is a skill, so keep doing it and you'll get even better.
I just bought a Royal Paint Brush for my (male) Uni... thank you, Food Club! :) I need to figure out some customization for him, but here he is:

Isn't SilverShanks the best name for him? He was a lucky Pound snag and I've been saving up to paint him Royal for quite awhile now. :)
I took a hiatus for awhile... I had no idea about the Candy Kougra until just a little while ago! I'm seriously tempted... Kougras are my favorite species. Can you get it through the Lab Ray? Hopefully one day I will own one. :)
