A pic I drew for my fanfic 'Write My Report' where we're doing paperwork mafia-style

my art summary of this year ^_^ i hope to improve even more next year!!!

Considering tomorrow is New Year's Eve I think I should probably be good to consider this finished! I always worry I'll make something I'm super proud of like, right before December ends LOL but I probably won't?... So yeah! My 2023 summary of art :-]

2023 was a verte weak year in termas of drawing but i feel that it was they year that improved My drawings they most

Worst thing that ever happened to me (/nsrs) was learning that the dead son in Astro Boy is named Tobio.

NOOO THIS SHIT IS SO FUNNY I CANNOT EVEN RIGHT NOW 😭😭😭

fic: so long, Frank Lloyd Wright by: youabird (nevulon) [on ao3]

I enjoyed creep 2 IMMENSELY. more than the first one ngl. I like the first one because its just. set up real well. but this one.. this one I was sucked into as soon as josef was called aaron. and sara is Such a good character to have in this sequel. I was worried when I saw there was a creep 2 that it was just gonna be another movie like the first, but I think they really hit the ball outta the park when it came to making an actual good sequel. "aaron" and Sara's relationship is so gripping n mirrors josef and Aaron's in a really really interesting way. and the fact that the real aaron haunts the movie so much, showing us that josef really does think of him as his favorite. the elements that give a lot more meaning to what josef does in the first movie. it's so *chefs kiss*

I think my only complaint would be the ending. it felt very "gotta leave it open ended in case we wanna make a third movie later on". I wouldv liked to leave it in the woods, as both a parallel to the first movie and tying back to what "aaron" said would happen earlier. tho I guess I wouldnt mind seeing what sara would do next if another movie was made (also assuming sara would be a part of it)

Just a quick look back at 2023

Another year gone another art summary! (Why is time going by so fast this is so fucked help-) Happy new year 2023 everyone!

A decade of art (and also the entirety of my teen years)!

I was only intending to put together my 2022 summary of art, seeing as I hadn’t made that yet-- and then found I also hadn’t made my 2021 summary, and fell down a rabbit hole of nostalgia from there :)

It’s interesting how as I progress as an artist, I’m less and less repulsed by my “old“ work-- like my December 2021 piece is STILL one of my favorites, and one I try to keep up with sorta. And yet, on the flipside, things I know I was proud of last year, two years ago, I’d do so much differently now. My idea of “good” art is different every year-- for a lot of the late teens I REALLY wanted to be an MCU concept artist so realism was what I strove for. But nowadays I’m really embracing simplification in ways I know I never could have before. I talked to my illustration professor about this, and he said something along the lines of, “It’s okay that it took you this long for it to click-- that’s why there’s four years of schooling.” I’m graduating in a few months and there’s still so much I don’t understand and I still feel a lot like the 12 year old using a mouse and GIMP/Paint.NET vector paths to draw. The nice part about still feeling like a kid, though, is that it’s still so much fun to do :)

nearly nine years of my arts, and damn am i proud of my art growth! ...also no art summary for 2018, because i never made one :(

I dont have a good record of my art progress anywhere since Ive lost access to my previous blogs - and deleted all my work from deviantart in the wake of the whole AI debacle - so I thought the closing of this year would be a good opportunity to post all the “Summary of Art” pieces Ive filled out since 2013 ^_^

im not proud of a lot of things, but I can safely say that I can look back on my art journey with fondness. <3

the nature of warrior cats is that when you first read it you get so hyped over firestars journey from kittypet to leader but then as you read on you get more annoyed by how the series just cant let him go and no matter who the protags are or what this arc’s plot is it always has to go back to firestar so you get firestar fatigue but then you go years without reading a single warriors book to where you only remember basic plot beats and your fondness for certain characters so you wrap right around to getting hyped about firestar

6 years of working on my art. Still more to improve upon.

ohhhh i love ray so much *draws him having the worst time of his life*
