I feel like the BTW creature has gained quite a bit of notoriety and a lot of people don't even know who made it! Hello, I drew the original BTW image below!
Aswell as this other one that circles around, and a few others.
He was made somewhere around may of 2022. My friend funstersdescent over on instagram doodled a little cat with 2 legs (shown below) and I made some fanart and jokingly called it the ADHD/BTW creature. Soon enough I then drew the first image and funstersdescent posted him on tiktok (under the username real.megamind) where the creature gained quite a bit of popularity, aswell as some controversy.
I just felt it'd be good to let this out there so people know the creator(s).
I'm very glad you guys seem to like this thing! I never would've thought an inside joke between me and a friend would be getting tens of thousands of notes on tumblr .......
tl;dr : My friend doodled a cat, I had the idea of it being an ADHD creature and drew it to be the BTW you know today.
