I would like to take this time to give my deepest thanks and appreciation to @AverageFranDev for their kindness and for giving me the go-ahead to post this! When that contest was first revealed, I originally didn't even wanna submit anything. I thought my art was too low-quality to even ATTEMPT to share a drawing. But then I realized that it was worth a shot, because even if I lost or my drawing wasn't seen, who cares? I participated and made my voice known, and as you can probably guess, it was 100% worth it! Dude, when I saw the official announcement of the winners and realized that MY drawing would be included in the game, I legit almost cried of happiness. It's been genuinely a DREAM of mine to be involved with something like this, even if only for a cameo, so the fact that I've been blessed with this just goes to show you that dreams ARE possible! NEVER stop fighting for opportunities like this, since who knows when's the next time you're gonna be able to do something of this level? I really gotta repeat it just for those somehow still unaware: MY DRAWING WILL BE FEATURED IN A FNAF FANGAME. It doesn't matter what anyone says to me from now on, nothing and no one can take this away from me. I've officially hit the big time, I don't think anything could get better than this ONE moment! With that being said, this next part is specifically to give a personal message to @AverageFranDev .
My friend, I can't stress enough how much I'm grateful for this. If it wasn't for you announcing that contest, I wouldn't even be making this post, but the fact that you did proves how much you matter and mean to me, plus everyone else who submitted a drawing. FNAF 2 is my all-time FAVORITE FNAF game, and when I saw that you were remaking it to be a much more realistic horror-based game, I immediately got hyped. Then the teasers and reveals started to be shown, and THAT'S when the magic happened. That drawing contest got revealed and I just KNEW what had to be done. It didn't even take me a long time to MAKE that artwork, I finished it in like an hour! I was fully ready for it to flop, but when I saw you liked it, I just EXPLODED with happiness! I was like "THERE'S NO FUCKING WAY!". MY drawing of JJ (who is one of THE most obscure and underrated FNAF characters) got liked by the contest holder!? Talk about a shot straight through the heart, or should I say ROSE through the heart since I was happy? Then I waited and bided my time, since I had a good feeling about everything and assumed that I would at LEAST be given an honorable mention or something, you know? But seeing the confirmation that ALL of the drawings submitted would be featured in the game was not only a shock to me but was most definitely a shock to everyone else! It's taken me a LONG time to build this all up, and never in a million years did I think this would be possible. Fran, I will forever be thankful for the opportunity you blessed me and others with. I don't care if the game takes a decade to come out: EVERY day spent is just another day of excitement! Thank you, for everything you've done. I'll remember this day for the rest of my life, as the day TheLegend87 TRULY became a "Legend". To those who've actually finished reading, I'll now link the FNAF 2 Reconstructed page here so you can check it out! Go give Fran and the development team a follow, they're the ones you should direct your praise and appreciation towards: https://gamejolt.com/games/FNAF2R/713519
I dedicate this drawing to my family and friends, and I dedicate this message to you, who gave me faith and hope. Thank you. - TheLegend87
