(( A couple of doodles, to get back in the swing. And to prove that I haven’t let my skills stagnate in my absence.
Forgive my brief comments attached to the one with @dailytypenull's Noah. I’ll leave them under the cut. It just feels important to write them down. ))
(( Because I’ve been absent these past few months, I’ve only just now learned of Kizzy’s passing. I may not have known her well, certainly not beyond “the mun behind dailytypenull”, but she still had an impact on me, and I feel remiss to let that go unsaid.
It was Noah’s adventures that opened my mind to potentially starting an ask blog. I’d thought that ask blogs were either selective rp focuses, or had to have some sort of overarching plot in the forefront. And yet here was Kizzy and Noah, providing a fun little romp that certainly brightened my day. And so, no more than a week after I discovered that blog, I had the bare bones thought up for Sev, with Idry joining the “plot” mere days after that.
I also think this blog wouldn’t have reached the expanse of followers it has without her sending Noah my way in the blog’s early days. At the very least, it wouldn’t have grown as fast as it did. And because of that, she was indirectly the catalyst for the greatest artistic improvement I’ve ever had, at least since I first picked up a pencil and decided to draw. And I will never not be thankful for that. I’ve learned so much in the aftermath of just one, simple ask.
So, I may not have known her, not in any sort of “traditional” manner. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m going to remember her every time I look down at some new piece of mine, and remember how far I’ve come. And I can only hope to keep improving from here, as my own little tribute to the person who, however indirectly, gave me the courage to get out there and learn.
Here’s to you, Kizzy. I can only hope you’re having the time of your life, wherever you are now. ))

Apologies for the quality of the image, I sort of made this on a whim. But I felt it’d be a crime if I didn’t make anything at all. Plus I’ve been crying over Kizzy for the past 24+ hours. So I wasn’t in a great mood for anything complex or crazy.
I knew Kizzy from the very first day she joined the community, she joined the same day I did. We hit it off instantly. We began talking in the PM’s and even talking about Poppy and Noah. All kinds of wacky and zany things. Then came Alx or MorningStar as he calls himself. Then came Trike. And eventually we ended up making a Discord server. Just for us. Where we would talk for hours on end, play games together. We’d do everything together, even bring in new and struggling artists and help them with what we knew.
We’d laugh, we’d chat, we’d draw, we’d have fun. I even considered these three like family in a way. That server was my safe space for a long long time. Thanks to everyone involved including Kizzy. Kiz was such a sweet and wonderful soul to where I could speak novels to people who didn’t even know her about how great she was. even showing the art she made for me, without me even asking.
Hell, she even helped me throw away all of my anxieties and actually be an active member of a large community. She was the first person I ever met on this website. After I had been outside of communities for almost two years. And I’m glad she came into my life. She helped me be social and make all of these friends I have now.
And now that she’s gone I feel like I’ve lost one of my family, as your family isn’t bound by blood, but it’s bound by the people you hold close to you. And Kizzy was one of them. I’ll miss you Kiz, I regret not talking to you more. Wish I let you know how much I valued you being there. To which Alx, Trike and I all miss you. And we’re mourning. But we’re all glad you aren’t suffering anymore. Perhaps we’ll meet again some day. But I leave this image as a way for all of us to remember the good ol days when she was still around. So full of life even when she was fighting a long and grueling battle.
We miss you already Kizzy( @dailytypenull ). With love, Cal and Poppy.

I know everyone has done their spiel already, but I felt that I needed to also share my bit. It will be below the cut.
I didn’t know Kizmetto that long, but she was the reason why I made this blog. She was my inspiration and a wonderful peer in the art field. She provided honest critiques and help when you needed it.
I had fun plotting mini scenes, our silly angsty Shadow Inquisition with @daily-poppy-primarina and @seals-and-giggles , and sharing in our love of our Poke-puppers.
I am going to miss them. As Poppy’s mun put it, I feel like a family member died and I am still adjusting to them being gone. While we had not talked as much in the past couple months (because timezones), I was always quite happy to hear from them and catch with them when we managed to catch one another online.
But as I have stated in other posts, I am hoping that they are no longer suffering and I hope in their next life they will be able to live their life to their fullest!
Also, bonus image that was a warm up to this I did at work.
“well i hope thats a good smell... but yes i have travelled a bit! i went to a few other regions for a bit of self discovery you could say! ...... that sniffing really tickles...”
