Yep. That was this year. honestly I think I improved the most with shading and character design and i'm really proud of myself, you don;t see it here, but my last few pieces in 2024 were a lot less.. developed ig? but the choice piece for January 2025 was at a massive turning point in my skills, so if it doesn't look like I improved as much, that is why. I picked all of my favorite or best pieces of each month, and now I am very happy :) I also think the July piece was pretty pivotal, because something about shape just kinda clicked and my brain said, alright lets do this thing. December was SOOO peak bro. I was literally so proud of myself and I still am, the background, shading and design made me really happy, and of course there are still things I could have done better, but I it so much.
