So… new year’s eve again, huh?
Seriously, where did this year GO?!
This year was kind of weird, with ups and downs I’m apparently still recovering from. I’ve been kind of trying to take it easy for this reason, but once the new year starts, I’m hoping I can start doing more details, interesting poses, backgrounds, cool concepts, things like that! Also draw more OCs. I kind of want my first post of the new year to be a new OC that none of you have seen, but… I guess we’ll have to see how that goes. I want to enter contests on deviantART, too! Earn dA points and stuff so I can commission some of those awesome people whose art I always drool over!! *O* …well, I guess I’d have to win said contests first. Eep.
I’m kind of confused with how I improved over this year… like, I mentioned in that image of Len and Gumi that it was a redo of a picture I did a year ago, and I saw so much improvement from that and it made me proud. But I don’t see as much improvement here…? What is this I don’t even?! Like, there’s a bit, and some small changes to my style that I like (eyes, blush, highlights) but I don’t know. I just don’t. u___u;;
Let’s move onto the pictures here~! Just to be clear, all the proper copyrights and things for each image are on their individual pages. Please look there for them.
January: Here!
February: I don’t think I ever got around to posting it here, but you can see it on dA here.
March: Here!
April: Here!
May: Here! Just a note – the very first file of this was made in the last days of March, but every file from then on is from May.
June: Never posted anywhere, but hopefully you guys will be able to see it soon. ;3 The character belongs to me!
July: Here!
August: Here!
September: Here!
October: Here!
November: Here!
December: Here!
And I’m also gonna put my resolutions here because it seems like a good way to keep track of them.
* Begin uploading my singing (I said this last year, but I think I can really do it this time!!)
* Improve on colouring hair
* Draw more dynamic poses, interesting concepts, and backgrounds
* Try to be happier and try to keep my stress level down
* Draw more of my own characters
…that’s all I can really think of, so I’ll try and wrap this up quick. Like I said before, my year flew right past me and was full of ups and downs… but I’m sure that 2014 will be better. Things have already begun to turn that way, my mind just needs to accept that I guess. But it will be better. And even if you had a fantastic 2013, I truly hope that 2014 will be even more amazing for every one of you! Let’s all keep going forward and improving, becoming better people and artists!! See you next year, thank you you all so much~! <3 <3
...almost forgot lol. Here’s the blank base!
Also, I’m a goofball and was lazy with posting three things on here I should’ve posted last Friday, so I just posted them now. Please scroll down to see!
