Hello there~ Wow, this year has really been something... The best year since I started posting on the internet so far. So let's do a little recap shall we~
From January through spring of this year I worked on my portfolio to present to TheAnimationWorkshop. It was rough, and in the end I can say I agree with the decision they went me, of not accepting me in the school. Then the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes were announced! And I was so inspired I had to draw a poster for the occasion. Looking back, the poses and lines could be done better, but I still really like how it turned out in the end.

After that, onto May. This May I decided to attempt my first ever drawing challenge. Because I had school and because it was my first challenge, I skipped a few corners with it, using an online poser to pose my characters and working on more than one a day to save time. But the stories in each entry were written day by day, so... it was actually a writing challenge! It came out better than I ever expected, and receive much love and support especially on Reddit and Instagram, so thank you~

I started, then ended a project of hd pixelart-like portraits of monster girls with short stories attached, but seen the lack of interest and my lack of willingness of continuing it, I only made two entries... but I love them and you got to see them anyway!

In August, recovered from that pesky July filled with trauma, I wanted to do a great comeback! So I opened commissions for the first time! ...only one responded... Then I opened and took requests! I went through a gijinka/moemorphism craze and even posted my first nsfw art. But then a miracle. A project that not only was well received, but I was willing to continue and pursue: Kieta Friends! The season lasted for a month and a half, sometimes speckled with nsfw art and pokemon redesigns~ Kieta Friends was fun, enjoyable, and I received lots of support and requests doing it. That's why I'm working on the sequel~

During October I did another drawing challenge with mixed results, worked on more requests, did my first trade~, and since my new gpu had arrived, I tried out Blender, and from that moment on, I started rendering and making more nsfw art! Some of my favorites are here~

November was full of classes in the morning so I decided to compile a huge 3d model library and start experimenting with Blender settings. This is when Instagram has fallen more and more out of favor with their strict policy and some insults coming my way. Though it has been one of my longest running social media, I'm slowly outgrowing it. Maybe next year my be the last year on Instagram... I am also sorry for those on Ko-Fi (the... 2 of you) because of the lack of content both in November and in December, but I was scared of Ko-Fi's policies closing me down when doing more nsfw content. I'm immensely thankful for your support~
December was tough. Hardships at home, exams to do, inability to find time and inspiration. I was able to work on some pieces, but I always felt like I could do more. I wasn't even able to open commissions properly. Only at the end of the year I was able to free myself and work on some more exciting pieces. And that was all because of you. The support, the people and creators I met along the way (I'm still in disbelief of whom I met and I still get excited every time I speak with them~), those were the things that kept me going. I always try being positive and sunny, but I won't lie, this year has been one of the worst in my personal life. You made me want to continue, and for that thank you~
And after that, HolY MoLy GuyS!!!1! 1000000+ views this year alone!?! Thank you, thank you, thank you soo much!!! I really hope next year will be better for me at home, but here, I know it will be better~ My thanks have run out of steam, so instead, let me finish this year with... a hug~ ;)
