Aw, shucks, haha, I don’t consider myself popular. <XD Some of my work may have gotten around, sure, but I’m just a big, shy doofus. :)
A few of my RL friends are aware of my art (and one or two do know about my Tumblr (though don’t check it very often from my understanding, phew! :’D). Though.. haha, I’m sure they’re not aware of some of the things I’ve gotten opportunities to do (like make work for particular projects/conventions) or even offers I’ve received (joining an art team at a different kind of convention).
I do love my friends, and I’m flattered it they happen to take interest in my drawings, but (again) I tend to keep to myself when it comes to art, since I don’t like to go on about my persuits and possibly seem too egotistical. ^^:
