asakiyumeWhen started my Livejournal in 2006, I asked the ninja girl--at that time 16 years old--to make me an icon. "Draw me as a wanderer with a little gray in her hair," I said. She created this picture:
Not only have I used that as my default icon for 16 years now, but I've used it on other sites, too--so much so that I really think of it as me.
Today I received this mother's day portrait from Little Springtime--who is currently 29 (she was 13 back in 2006). She did it on a form they had at the local convenience store for kids to do portraits of their mothers--you can see she's given her age at the bottom right. When I got this, I at first thought it was manga art from a magazine. And then I realized it was my icon! I love it.
