Long story short: storyboarding class required us to do FULLY RENDERED illustrations for an assignment that wasn't akin to storyboarding in the slightest. I would say I'm happy with the final result, but the assignment and class it stemmed from left me with such a bitter taste in my mouth I'm hesitant to say anything good about it. I have much disdain for this piece and the other two that accompany it. I attempted a "pseudo-anime screenshot" look for this piece and sort of like it's turn out? May or may not do more of these if I can think of any in the future. I need to draw my boys more often, god I love them so much. I don't remember much about the time I was making this, other than it was slow and between a lot of homework assignments. I drew my Leafeonsona and my friend, Cloudpool's character Pip together! There's not much to say on it, other than I like the stickeresque style and I need to draw Leafeon! Red more often.ĭantaylor!! This couple has a special place in my heart. January is one of the months I had almost no drawings from, so out of the few options this was my favorite. I'm also hoping to take on a volunteer position so everything will be schedule depending.Īnyways, that's enough rambling from me, let's get into the artwork from this year. I would also like to stream more often, including commission streams, nuzlocke streams and general art streams. I was hoping to do it this year, but as mentioned above, school and lack of self-confidence greatly affected that. I would like to try to do a monthly illustration again. Thank you everyone who commissioned me this year so far, and I look forward to possibly working with you again <3Īs for plans for next year, I don't really have any. Something I'm super excited about though, is my commissions! I've really really enjoyed working on commissions through December, and I'm hoping to have a commission livestream either once a week, or once every other week (school schedule and workload depending). For now I'll stick with Ko-fi if anyone wants to support me that way <3 I don't think I'll be opening another any time soon, but we will see. I had to close it after June, but I appreciate the few people who decided to support me there. I almost forgot that I had a Patreon for the first half of the year! I had started it as an attempt to get back into my own artwork, and build some self confidence back up, but ultimately it ended up not helping and only added more stress. I can only say I hope to work on them more this coming year as I continue to settle into my new school. I don't really have any goals for any of them for the coming year I jump around on which one I'm working on too often anyways to make promises for any one in particular. I did not do much work on any of my original stories this year- most of my attention was pushed onto school and switching. Thank you to everyone who attacked me this year, it was just what I needed and over the month I was able to create over 60 pieces.

There were a few months where I could barely find any drawings, and one or two were actually drawn in other months, but I had posted them later so I'm counting them.Īrt Fight came at JUST the right time this year as it was just as I was transferring out and needed a creative outlet. And I'm happy to say that since tranferring out, I'm gaining that confidence back, little steps at a time. SCAD really ruined my self-confidence and it's something I'm slowly working on building back. It took me until last and this year to for the first time in my life to actually hate my own artwork.

And that change of schools was the best decision of my life so far, despite it all being online still. This was probably the biggest event for me this year, besides moving to a new state right as everything shut down in March. I switched schools in June and am now studying Elementary Education at a local non-art college. That Spring quarter was the straw that broke the camel's back, and having one more quarter online like that there would have pushed me over the metaphorical edge. It's hard to believe I was still at SCAD before the summer. I can barely remember all that's happened this year, it's been such an emotional rollercoaster for literally everyone. This year has been absolutely batshit crazy.
