I realized it's "almost" time for this. Yeah, I guess I could have waited for a few weeks... or even a month... but whatever. Summary of 2014 in art.

I don't know.

I don't know if I chose the right pictures for this. I wanted to include more pictures, so maybe next year I'm gonna do like "3 pieces for month" thing, I remember running into this problem last year too....

Man, looking back on my art always makes me kind of depressed, in a way. I feel like I'm not growing as an artist fast enough. I can't believe how "old" some of the pieces featured here are, I could swear I finished some of them like... two weeks ago... definitely not 5+ months ago. Scary. Almost as scary as not hating all of my almost year-old art [ok I really dislike the Jan piece, but I included it to go with the Oct piece, because, hey, same character.]

This year I worked a LOT on full-body pieces, and I think I finally got over my fear of drawing full-body artwork, as opposed to busts or waist ups. I'm still not as fast with them as I'd like to, and I really need to push myself to work on more interesting and dynamic poses and angles, but I suppose this could be a first the... or something.

Is it just me or have my colors become brighter as the year progressed? Even considering some of the pieces are intentionally a bit muted?

One thing that didn’t happen this year was me working on personal projects. I wonder when/if that is going to happen. I also did a lot more commission work than personal work, and that’s both sad and happy.

Bittersweet, I guess.

I miss drawing personal stuff and developing my own things, but on the hand I’m happy people are willing to commission me for actual money, and I’m really grateful of that.

Oh, also, for those interested:
