Hey everyone!
Hope you all survived the festivities! With the year coming to a close and all pictures having been uploaded for the year we'll have our year 2021 art wrap-up.
Rules for this of course same as always, favourite picture for each month gets picked and then the yellow letters being the overall yeary favourite. So yeah, watch me ramble as i write this next paragraph without a plan!

It was a bit of an odd year art wise, i feel like i always say that for the past 4 years or so, weird year, not a lot of progress with a lot of walking wrong paths and all that, but yet if i look back to just even 2019 or 2018 and it's like... who even drew this? This is all looking so odd and why would i paint that way?
But yeah, another weird year in my view, but i guess at this point i know it's just still progressing looking back at things, so i guess it's more breathing a sigh of relief than the years before where i felt it.
STILL though, can't ever stop! Always following the urge to push things forward. Figure out how to get the light a bit better, the heads, the poses etc.
As for the yearly winner, July this time around. Always hard to win against a personal painting of course, but july and june were honestly head to head. I think the overall quality of some of the technical aspects to the June painting were better, but July simply won by being more of a high quality whole thing. I just like it when i manage to convey a sense of place well, and July just was a highlight for it i think, even if it just was a portrait.
But yes, a very honourable second for the June picture and once of the closest i've had so far.

Aside from that, yes thank you all so so much of course. Once again was a successful year on my end and hey, i couldn't do that if it weren't for you all supporting the stuff i do and having it strike a chord somewhere! Whether that is via commissions, patreon, prints to directly help with the whole earning enough to survive thing, but also just sharing things around when i sometimes see one of my paintings float by on reddit or in a telegram chat or what have you. And of course whenever you take the time to leave a comment somewhere! It's a weird world to be honest where we just chuck art into the aether and numbers happen, but only for like 48 hours before the internet's constant churn of art already has forgotten about a picture. So whenever there's someone talking about a little detail in a painting, or asking about how i did this or that, how this or that character looks cool or hot or how they use it as a phone background or whatever. It's really really appreciated and makes the effort oh so much more worthwhile!

So yes, thank you very very much all of you and let's see what 2022 brings. Hopefully even better art, maybe i'll finally start to feel confident enough to share some watercolours as well (as if), and i bet all of you will stay as awesome as you have been!
Stay safe of course and enjoy the end of the year. :)
