    To me, this is the best thing you've ever made - hands down. A year ago, you had enough trust in yourself to meet three strangers who were glad to share your company. And now, you have enough trust in other people to open yourself to them, even if only for a moment. It was a pleasure to meet you, a delight to know you and an amazing experience to witness your meteoric rise. Bring on 2019.

    Zillion, i'm literally crying with your story... look, i've had a really hard social life with people, mostly because of school. Every year of elementary school was the same story about nobody talking to me, bullying, harrassing, damaging this guy in every possible way, mostly physically. I believe it all started during my first year of elementary, with six years old, when i wanted to be friend of somebody. I was the "weird" guy of my class, mostly because i've got the higher grades and i liked a lot of things that nobody shared with me. I started by talking to people really scared because at the time i've had no friends, and the thing went well by some time, but then i got a bit annoying for some people because i didn't knew at all how to make friends. Some years passed and everything was just horrible, people started bullying me and hating me really hard, i've almost had no friends, and the ones i had were just the same kind of people that harrassed me... When i wanted to talk to somebody, they said i was stupid and just ignored me. I became very sensitive with my emotions since that, i started to become annoying with everyone just for "fun" (actually, because i thought that being bad would make me happier in some way...) I became violent, and everyone just wanted to make me feel bad... it's like a social plague, if the dominant of your classroom hates you, everyone hates you in the same way or worse. The sadness just started to make me cry every day of school... sometimes i cryed in class making everyone think "i'm not crying, i don't know what you say". Some time later, i was just plain depressed, and the only thing that started to make me feel better, was being egocentric... which i actually realized not long ago that thinking in that way was stupid... I started to act like i was someone "superior" to the rest of the people (while i'd know i'm a piece of shit) just because of my egocentrism, but... i just made it worse, a lot more worse... lots of people were planning to hurt me both physically and psicologically, and in some way, they achieved to do that. ...But... even if people could destroy me so hard to the point of wondering to commit something as horrible as suicide, i've ever had a strong point... the feeling of wanting to share myself to the people and being very comprehensive and loyal to my friends. Then, not so long ago, i've joined this amazing community, i made a friend that is like a brother for me and he helped me to overcome my depression as i made he overcome his sadness too. It was just like an entire life since everything started to go well, i feel stronger and i want to live my life as amazing as possible, i wanna share everything i like to the world in some future, as i still learning things and making good friends. Now, i'm 12, and i'm finally on a high level secondary school, people it's better with me despite everyone stills ignoring me when i wanna talk to them, but i don't care anymore. I want to give my best to the life and everyone, because that is what i most love to do. I don't have so many things to add, the rest will come in the future nwn Thanks for reading (and sorry for my bad english), i really appreciate that

    Oh my gosh, your story is very similar to mine. I was ( and still ) a weird nerd too. I was (am) bullied and I have no friends because I'm the only intellectual in my whole class, and probably the only introvert in my whole school. A year ago, I met a dude online who was 14 years old, he's weird too. I made (online) friends with him and talked to him a lot because we're one of the few Furries in my country ( I'm from Vietnam, Furries here are very rare ), he was one of the people who brought me into this fandom. So far, I still get depressed every day because people only want to be like others, they want to swing along the trends and fashion without thinking about creating differences. Please reply if you wanna discuss about this, I can tell you more. Chào ! P/s : I'm 17.

    So, I'm sorry you're getting bullied. The one thing that really stands out to me from what you said is that you see yourself as "the only intellectual" in your class. I never put myself on a pedestal above others, I find it to be ignorant and destructive and is a sure fire way for people to hate me. Be yourself but also don't hound others for not being able to understand you, because most likely they don't, and that's ok.

    This is by far one of the most inspiring and motivating things I've seen. I'm a young fur as well as a long time artist and every day I have that moment where I ask myself "Am I good enough?" or "Am I worth all this praise?" I admit, sometimes I stare at my art and internally keep telling myself it's not good enough, never really looking at the good things about it, or mostly not even believing that there are good things about it at all. I'm glad I found this video and maybe now that I hear how you see life, I'll try thinking in that way too. Thank you for this amazing and inspiring video, Zillion, it really changed my perspective on life for the better.

    Zill sparked the art fire in my body that i didn't know i had, i went from shitty doodles to actually trying sometimes. The best part about it was that he wasn't fake about it, he didn't lie about the ability to do so, he made it very apparent that it was hard to do But at the same time, encouraged experimentation in his subtle actions. His ability to be honest is one to hold up to as the normal standard, this man has become a good role model He shows himself that he is a normal person, making us realize that we don't have to have 5000 different issues to be acceptable. Zillion, i know i already said this in voice chat, but i highly respect you, as a person, and an artist, you're so real, and tangable, and you don't fall into your personality being "Furry" you don't make these stupid jokes, and pander to the audience, you're your own person. I'm tired of all these furries becoming a hivemind , their ability to talk reduced to stupid furry inside jokes. Zillion, keep doing what you're doing. You're doing perfectly.

    I can relate to your younger self. I was loud and bullied a lot (I was bullied for being the small kid). I stayed quiet after that. But at the same time I was being a jerk. When I found good friends, I finally felt accepted. They showed me that it's not bad to be myself. And to never let other's shape me into someone I don't want to be. You reflected on your past, and you helped me reflect on mine. Thank you. Ps. People still change no matter how much of jerk they are before. I know you're a good person. If not, you can still change. This video is truly inspiring.

    I know I'm commenting on an old video, but let me tell you... I love the video. Not only did it really help me recognize who I might actually be, but it makes me realize what I did right and what I did wrong. I love art, and while I don't make the best art, its not about that. Its about knowing what you are drawing, and putting your emotions on paper. The truth is, I had a very similar past to yours funny enough. I was an annoying kid that didn't know any better, and I eventually hit a brick wall due to so many people bullying me. Almost literally in my past Elementary and middle school, I've been the laughing stock. Everyone, even the teachers to some extent bullied me. It got so bad that I nearly crashed mentally, and took my emotions out on pretty much everyone I knew... not good. After I got a chance to recover by being in K12 online schools for my high school career, I knew I was better than to be that person. But just like zillion, I didn't make it out of the pit of hell without some consequences. Even today, I'm afraid to show my emotions to just anyone, and just like him, whenever I am alone or too close or something, I get the feeling that I'm not welcomed. Despite the person actually trying to be helpful. So zillion, if your reading this by any chance, keep going. You have talent, and don't let anybody think anywise.

The things that affect us deeply for so long a time are the hardest to talk about, but once the words are spoken, they can help others so, so much. And that's what you did for me. Again, thank you.

Everything you mentioned about your past resonated with me, hard, as I went through a lot of the same things (and honestly still am to and extent) even if in my own way. I will say that I look forward to seeing this next year with ya, cause I may have only joined this ride halfway through 2018, but I definitely plan on staying as long as I can. Keep on being you.

    I found you originally from your art tutorial, and I loved the video for what it taught as well as the humor in it. I then looked through your past video to find your con videos. I've always been terrified to go to a con, as well as being scared to even talk about it. But seeing the fun you had through each video and just the good time of the whole thing really helped push me to try. Still haven't been to one, but I have plans. Your videos really show me how just going out and having fun can be truly worth it, and for me, I've been pushing myself ever since to try and say and do more. I have a plan to at least shake your hand once for being the person to help me push out if my boundaries as well as being such an entertaining person. I'm excited to see more from you and to hopefully greet you at a con!

    You know I've never seen such an inspiring video in my life. Honestly I am that person who is scared to talk to people (it showed the most at my first furmeet last January and first convention back in November) I want to change but I find myself in this loop of "Oh they're gonna think I'm weird and just ignore me or tell me to leave". Winter is one of the worst times of the year for me as well because I have SAD (Seasonal Affecting Disorder, which is just a fancy name for depression during Autumn and Winter), which doesn't help me during school and when I'm in any social situation (great example; I was just at a family birthday party and talked to almost no one other than my cousin and listened to music). I would like to put what you said into practice, and I hope I can without feeling like a total failure. Thank you for the video, it made me feel quite emotional in a good way (legit almost cried) and maybe I will become a more social person. Hecc, maybe one day I'll be at a con and have the courage to say hi to you. I hope you have a wonderful 2019 Zillion.

    If I’m being perfectly honest, I’ve been drawing for my entire life but it was only a few months ago that I realised that using construction lines properly could really improve my art overall. And by no coincidence whatsoever, it was a few months ago that I started watching this channel’s videos. Somehow you were the first person to actually convince me to stop being a lazy ass and actually use construction lines, which is a goddamn miracle, so thank you very much for that. I have you to thank for my sketches being more dynamic and anatomically correct now, although I still have a lot of room for improvement (and practice, of course). Then there’s the other tips I rarely hear about, particularly using line art to show how far something is from the perspective depending on the thickness of the lines. Overall, you’ve been a really positive influence on my art and the con videos were truly the cherry on top. Thanks for everything, mate.

I understand your point of feeling like a third wheel and I hope to push past that myself when I go to my first con (planned to be Furlandia 2019). I have friends and can talk to people I know pretty easily but I have a hard time starting off a conversation so I hope that I can relax and let myself meet people there.

    "We always expect the ordinary. We are taught to keep our dreams in check, and compromise. We are taught to dream, but not to dream too big. We are taught to believe that we have to put things into perspective, and because of that we limit ourselves. We don't stop trying because we want to, we stop because inevitably, we think we have to. ...At the surface level, I am one of the most conventional people you will ever meet. There was never anything special about me. Yet Here I Am. So why not you? Why not us? Why do we hold ourselves back and stay in the comfort of the (normal)? We stay where we are because we know it, and we understand it. Yes we may not like it, but we understand it. But when you take a leap of faith, it will often be unpredictable and scary. You jump into the unknown, unsure of the outcome, and our brains will always assume the worst. You will fall. You will fail, and you will feel inadequately that you never thought possible. But you will get back up, because the toughest people are not the people that succeed on the first try. The toughest people are born from the ashes of failure and molded by the crucible of hard work and passion, striving forward with others in mind. " - Imaginatively Unimaginative, 1/20/2019 You have inspired SO MANY people to do what they love, and I think that you should be known for this. We all love you, your content, and are supporting you.

    I'm so glad I found this channel again. This was the video that convinced me to make the decision to go into therapy for my depression and really embrace my sketches and improve them. I used to despise when my family called me talented because that term felt so limiting and like that was all I'd ever be. Takented at everything and never skilled at anything was how I felt. But it's so much better now, I genuinely love myself and am proud of what I'm able to accomplish. I love the skills I possess because I know I earned those and am still working hard to improve them now. Thank you for making this video because in a lot of ways it opened up my eyes and made me free as a person.

I've always wanted to draw, and sure, while I was inspired by artists, you were the one who told me and many others "Ok, here's how you get to it." Before, I always just dreamed about making art, and showing it, making creations. But I always grounded myself, saying "Stick to reality. Get your degree. Get a job. Maybe 10 years you can get into it." Videos like these are the reason there's a part of me that says "Do it NOW. There's nothing stopping you." Thank you so much Zillion. You're the reason I can find the strength in me to pick up the pencil and improve myself.

    I love this video. I think parts of this resonate with everyone in some way even if just a little. I cried a little during this video, just a little but that's because a lot of what you said is what's happening to me. I always knew about the fandom but have only recently within the past 2 weeks gotten into it. I find it hard to socialise with new people face to face, online behind the screen it's easy but the face to face part is different. People I have talked to keep inviting me to all these small events to meet people and tbh, as scary as it will be I wanna go to make some friends. I have my first con comming up but I feel like I'll just be hiding somewhere watching from the sidelines. It is also quite daunting, joining furry chat groups to try and get comfortable with people, make friends and join in on things but it's hard since everyone else has either met at some stage or just knows each other already so it constantly feels like I'm the outsider and that trying to fit In can't happen. Watching your videos of your con trips gives me a bit of insight and makes them look fun no matter what which is what I love. Does it change how I feel I'll be when I go to my first con? No, but it makes it a little more reassuring that everything will just work out fine. Thank you for all your videos and I hope to one day meet you at a con.

    Even if it's not exactly like my own experience, you talking about the depressing aspect of your life strikes a chord with me. I'm almost the same currently, suffering from depression. Difference is I just have no sense of self worth or esteem and don't want to either waste other people's time potentially or put myself in a position where someone can get on my good side just to stab me in the back first chance they get. It's not happened to me, but it has happened to other people I know that otherwise wouldn't hurt a fly. Glad to see you made it through though. It gives me, a somewhat vain, hope that one day my anxiety and feelings of worthlessness will be a distant memory. Keep up the good work and art, when I'm not wallowing in self pity you actually inspire me to draw, even though my art is mediocre.
