I’ll start off this page with my last piece from 2022. It is a commemorative piece in honor of my dog, Tiger, who sadly passed away on October 5th of that year.
It’s not perfect; had I done it now, there are a few things I’d do differently. But it was extremely formative to my development as a person, and I admire it for capturing such a critical moment in time.

2023 was not an easy year for me. Unlike 2022, a lot of the hardships were spread out throughout the year, rather than being concentrated at the end. I can’t really recreate the emotional catharsis I experienced with the Tiger piece. But the unfinished nature of this piece at least fits my mental state at the time it was made.

It’s done! My Mighty Nein portrait series is finally complete. Who would you like to see next? Veth? Pumat? Artagan? Let me know, ask away!
I will most probably make them a set of stickers or even T-shirts and I will add them to my Inprnt shop shortly. Stay tuned!

It is time for me to heal in defiance of everything going on in my life. I’m not gonna be perfect, but I can at least have confidence in my tools.
And I have learned something very valuable from, of all things, a *TF2* fan animation: The Scratched Universe Episode 6 (Part 2).
“You can learn, you can train, you can make the effort until you drop. However, know this. Someone who works hard can never beat someone who enjoys himself. THIS... is what I live for!"

Here are some drawings of me. The first one was from March 2022 and the second from September of the same year. As you can see, I was shying away from drawing realistic noses for some time. And lips. I like rendering lips now, even though I didn't before.
For the second one, I was going for the vibe of someone trying too hard to be cool, with a snazzy outfit undercut by a doofy hat and glasses... And it also looks like I really have to use the bathroom. Choice.
Of course, that second piece being from September 2022 means it was made right before October of 2022, which, to anyone who has perused this blog, was an extremely emotional and formative time of my life. Ever since coming to terms with my grief, I've felt like my persona and I have become separate entities.
The Notsophism in the sketch is awkward and reclusive, especially in the face of conflict or difficult circumstances. He feels tied down by his limitations and doesn't think he's capable of much. The Notsophism in real life is... well, he's still awkward. But he's harder and more willing to challenge difficult situations when need be. For better or worse, he's more willing to assert himself, no longer feeling restrained by diabetes, anxiety, what have you.
Well, I aspire to be like that, anyways. Given how much I've changed in such a short time, it's about time I redraw my persona again. I don't think too much will change beyond refining what's already there and changing the body language, though.
