thank you emily! 🥹

character concept artist, but due to ai i ended up pivoting to 3d character modeling so either one would be a dream! i’m hoping to art direct one day

i will keep working hard to make everyone proud- i just selfishly ask you to keep cheering me on and supporting me! thank you for helping me believe in magic and giving me the chance to add just a little more color into your day.

as for the future, i will be going basically full time on vtubing and art commissions while i bulk up my portfolio and look for a job. we'll see what happens! 2026 is the year of bear taking the training weights off, because you haven't seen me at my full power yet.

i am so lucky that a silly decision that was supposed to be a hobby ended up helping me through school, brought me so many new friends, more confidence, and new goals to chase.

becoming a witch vtuber was a whim of mine that i didn't think too deeply about, but you have shown me that magic can be real if you just put your kindness and heart into the people you believe in.

i have received kind, heartfelt messages saying that i've inspired people in some way when i feel like a hack and like i don't know what i'm doing- but you believe in me anyway.

you believe in me, you believe in my skills, my passion, and that i can make it. you show up in chat, in the comments, you like and repost, you take the time to make fanart. my friends have offered to help me and my content by making me 3D models, drawing art for projects, and making clips for me.

but i couldn't and i didn't because i had so many people cheering me on: my friends, my family, and you- my coven. going down the path of being a professional artist is insecure and i'm delusional for thinking i can do it. despite all of that, you believe.

i am so incredibly lucky that i was able to cultivate such a kind and supportive community that i could lean on in the short time that i had to give to them every week. 2025 was quite literally the worst and most insane year of my life, and there were honestly times where i felt like giving up.

but on top of that, i managed to stumble into finding a new passion of mine and an amazing community on the side that quite literally helped me put food on the table during my time in school.

i pushed myself in unhealthy ways all in the name of becoming a better artist, getting into the best school, and because i wanted SO badly to work in the games and animation industry. i've managed to do all of those things in my own way, which felt impossible even four years ago.

speaking as the person behind the model, i think having this many encouraging voices pushing me forward is a privilege i wouldn't be able to have without becoming a vtuber. going to and graduating from a prestigious art college has been a dream of mine since i was in high school.

i wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me over these last 3 years of being bear. i haven't BEEN bear without being in school, and i think i am uniquely lucky that i have had so many people invested in me and my dreams.
