Quick lil warning, some of the music or these pieces might briefly mention alc0hol or something, so if that's a problem for you I can replace the songs or censor a piece (one of which is already done lol) :'P It's that time of year again B) I love doing these each year Sorry I got this done a bit late, I would've probably had it done on the first of January, but I got sick and didn't go near a tablet for a few days so it's a bit late X'D I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ALREADY DOING IT AGAIN? HELOO? WHY IS IT ALREADY 2025? JUST IN 2022 I WAS DYING TO GET TO DO THIS AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE I DID THE 2023 TO 2024 ONE YESTERDAY? EXCUSE ME? N O, NO NO NO THIS IS NOT HAPPENING A U GH ANYWAYS EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO CRY IN A CORNER 1. Just a random test for my second style. I might actually try to pick up drawing in different styles again… ;’) as for this, why is his neck so long lol 2. I don't actually remember how much I drew in the month of January, so have my pfp from that time! :'D I still like this honestly- 3. Redraw of a piece I did based off ASFoS by Coldplay. This still looks okay- proportions are off, but the background is pretty :'0 4-5. Around this time is when me and Cloak started rping, and I drew her characters Arrow and Victor! the hair rendering looks good and their eyes are super neat- their necks are so long and they have no foreheads though X'D 6. this is a lil Nico piece I’ve shown on here a few times- I can see a few things I’d do differently, I guess that’s a good thing lol 7. Cleo drawn in the pencil brush >:”) this looks okay, except I think I should definitely pay more attention to values here (something to work on in the new year I supposeee-) X’D I like the textures though- 8. A drawing of Shadow, @ShadowyNights’s character! I still have no fricking idea what possessed me to be able to do that background what 9. Around this point was when I started brainstorming new designs for my children. So here’s Cleo’s concept sketches and EXCUSE M E what happened to his face and his chin X’D 10. THE FERRET AU IS BACK >:') this was like the only rendered scratch piece I did this year lol- it's still pretty neat, I like it :") 11. Lol the first and only piece of STR art I made this year ;w; that water though, I STILL cannot- X'D 12. A redo of a TNE for @Foxcakes10's Gravity Falls CCF MAP! I dunno I still really like this lol- probably because I didn't draw many cats this year other than for MAP parts X'D 13-14. A lot of what I did during this time was OC redesigns, so here are Cleo's and Flint's original refs! I say original because I just revised them a bit hahah 15(?). Something I haven't shown on here before, but- I did a pause art challenge. And. I got this. It's. It's a weird fish lady. With three eyes. And a crown thing. WHY DO PAUSE ART CHALLENGES REALLY LIKE TO GIVE ME CHARACTERS WITH THREE EYES- 16-19. Around this time I also did a lil art challenge thing I made for myself in April, so here's some sketches for them (because I didn't put the pressure on myself to finish all of them) B) so here's a few of the prompts; 2, 8, 9, and 14 :'DD (which were "tired/sleepy", "based off a song", "using powers", and "gender swapped" lol I know not the most original prompts but hey I just wanted to draw my silly guys okay) 20. so I got into TUA at the time So here have Five using his powers lol SERIOUSLY THOUGH I STILL DON'T KNO W HOW I DID THAT RENDERINGGG- 21. This is a scene in an rp and I never finished the drawing because I ran away from my background responsibilities I know so lame Frosty 22. Originally a stress reliever but also a colour test, I do still like the rendering loll Flint's hair is so shiny and b l u e 23. My June pfp B) lol I knew my proportions I swear but I don't know WHAT happened to Nico's eyes and nose in this drawing- still cute though judging by how I can't find any other files I remember creating and finishing in June, I think this was my only high quality piece in June lol 24. Around this time, I was in a creative slump X'D but I did create like two pieces hA one of them being this piece of ST fanart B) Dustin babyyy 25. I also did this AT with the rendering for the background still looks great haha, I'll eat those rocks U P (don'tactuallydothatyou'llbreakyourteeth) 26. (Spoilers for act three of In Stars And Time!) Around this time I was starting to really get into In Stars And Time B) seriously though this was the point where I started gawking at my own rendering haHHAHA- 27. My august pfp! Still proud of this, I like how Cleo looks in this B) I guess I don't have much to say about it except WOW that hair rendering- 28. a lil doodle I did of Nico and Victor hehe- there was supposed to be a background but I ran away from those responsibilitiesagainhahahwhoops
(cont.) 28-31. I finally got my act together and made some Six of Crows art ;'D I was gonna do every single one of the cast but I didn't do Matthias because I got stuck on what his outfit would be so then I just never did him :") maybe I should- but here's Kaz, Nina, Wylan, and Jesper :"D 32. I could've sworn I drew more in September lol- anyway, here's around where I started doing OCtober. I've got prompt 1.1 here lol hey it's my three boyysss 33-34. Something that's NOT OCtober, the matching pfps I did with @EEVEE500 this year, with her character Midnight and mine Nico as TUA students hehe 35-39. More OCtober stuff, this is prompt 4, 7, 9, 12, and of course 31 ;") (I did a Shakespeare AU for 31, sort of got the idea from something someone else did) lol 40. In November I was pretty much done from OCtober, I didn't want to do it anymore lol- but I DID draw this. It came out of nowhere, I'm proud of it, it's just Cleo playing with a lil toy of his and I wanted to draw rim light so X'D 41-43. Some theme song sketches because I wanted to lol- some are real, some aren't, who knows ;)))) order: feelslikei'mfallinginlove (Coldplay), Compromise (Joywave), Breathing Underwater (Metric), and Train (Brick + Mortar) :'D 44-46. I didn't draw much digitally in November. But I did do a bit of alcohol marker art. :)) So here, have some traditional art yay- here's Siffrin, Loop, and a bit of a comic that I did based off a scene in In Stars And Time :'D (maybe I'll do an alcohol marker dump sometime in the near future…) 47. Nor did I draw much digitally in December. X'D I drew these lil cuties though :'D I was testing out trying to draw in different styles, so weird looking Cleo with a bit forehead (the worst part is this is also an inside joke with Cloak AAAAHH) is my regular style, Nico is a simplified version of that, and Flint is what might be my revamped second style? BUT LIKE LOOK AT HIMMM HE'S SO FREAKING CUUUUTE 48-50. With a sudden burst of motivation, I did some last minute Christmas/winter artworks >:")) I go into more detail in the actual project haha, but here's a mistletoe piece, a piece based off 2000 Miles by Coldplay, and a lil Frosty bust :"D 51. Concept sketches for a "royal"/king design for Cleo (because he is a king after all) >:")) not my best work, he's angled off to the side uGHH 52-53. The thumbnail ;"D there's two versions because I couldn't decide on keeping the beret or not lol- And Moonee, if you ever see this, if you remember your dare to create a character with silver hair that wasn't emo, had no black or gray on them, and had hot pink eyes, then…here you go. ;") I still have to name her lol So anyway, that's my year in review when it comes to art- I feel like I plateaued a bit this year, but when I do look at it from here I DEFINITELY improved. The reason I probably didn't improve much was because I didn't work on much? Whereas after August, I started working on gesture and a bit of other things and I…kinda got better :') this year in general was a lil weird though, a few ups and downs, I liked 2023 more loll but hopefully 2025 will be okay.
