This is the first time I have done one of these, because Wielder made me do it. it's all her fault!! 2018 was a rather tumultuous year for me, starting with a deepening depression, and health problems, Culminating in a stroke and then a coma, in June (no e the June Square). July and August and part of September were spent in hospital, and a Convalescent Facility, as I could no longer walk well and I had speech problems initially. I also could not draw, at first which was kinda scary. However, I sketched nearly every day to return to being able to draw what I imagined or had in front of me, and to rebuild my hand strength as my muscles melted away during the 22 days I was in that coma.(see the July , and August squares to see the poor state of ability, and my improvement) I was released in the middle of September, bursting with creative energy, and resolving to make a lot of changes in my life. So far I have lost 55 lbs. and my endurance is better than before the stroke, and Looking over the art from before it, I was stagnant, and sloppy. I needed to push myself further, so I wanted to develop a more "painterly" approach to coloring, and kind of kiss that old animation style goodbye, at least for now, as 2D is dead, and what animating I do is in 3D. Plus I wanted to see if I could master that Table Top RPG style of painterly illustration and see if I could apply it to my Lupines. For the upcoming year, I will be doing more painterly portraits of The Lupine Characters for an RPG book project I am working on, plus I may attempt to do so me comics again, but don't hold your breath. I feel I have been given a second chance, and I don't want to waste it. So I will forge ahead and see what I can do. I feel I have to stop being afraid of color and take the time to master it.
