Hey guys, it's that time of year again where we look back and see how we've improved over the year! Just like last year, here are some fun facts for you all:

- I've submitted 170 artworks from January 1st 2013 to December 31st 2013
- That's 68 more than last year! (!!!)
- 155 of those were commissions
- 8 were gifts
- 7 were personal works

This year I've done a lot of experimenting with brushes and lighting, and I think it's pretty easy to see from the summary that I've improved! I'd say May and June were my least inspired months, mostly because when I was trying to pick what I wanted to put in their summary boxes nothing really jumped out at me. July, however, had like 5 things I wanted to put in that box! I guess that means I found my inspiration somewhere in there. :D

Of course, none of this would have been possible without any of you. :D I didn't really tell anyone this, but at this time last year I had just used up the last of my cash reserves. Chad (my boyfriend of 8 years) had no job and no additional income, and so I was at the end of my rope. I figured I'd need to give up my art dream and go work somewhere more stable and soul sucking. :C However, a few days into January Chad snagged an awesome pizza delivery job, and as the year went on I met so many more awesome people and slowly accumulated more and more art orders! And now, I even have a little bit of a savings built up again! (WOW!)

Thank you thank you thank you for everything you've all done for me this year. I literally owe everything to all of you, and don't know where I'd be without your continual friendship and support. Here's to another awesome year of more art and more improvements, and hopefully you all will decide to stay along for the ride! ^-^ *hugs you all with her tiny axolol hands*
