As it's only a few hours until 2011 hits Te Whare Mayfurr, I thought I'd do another "year in review" set.

January: Not much here to start the year with - just a pinup of Esmerelda in lingerie that was coloured and posted in February.

February: Another spartan month on the art front, solely devoted to an art trade with  strikersa...

March: ... which still managed to be more productive than March. This month's theme - "Draw, bitch!"

April: Getting out of the art rut with Esmerelda in a homage to the British comic character "Judge Dredd". Another piece where I've been applying a technique for hair shading and highlights which seems to be working well. Slightly disappointed in the reception for this one though - maybe it's the non-revealing uniform with the steel-capped shit-kicker boots

May: Delilah returns to the fore this month... definitely playing up the "lady of negotiable affection" theme for the next three months. Even Esmerelda wound up playing a hooker (though in her case it was undercover work, o course).

June, July: Ditto.

August: Back to Super Collie this month with what I think is my best picture of the year. Finally taking reference models seriously

September: For this month, the experiment on coloured line work (which in the end wasn't used in the final works). I'm still impressed with how it came out, and may try this again.

October: The month I finally left the mouse behind and got a tablet for computer graphics work! So I started practising tablet skills on both uncoloured inks...

November: ... as well as recolouring older works to see what improvement I could make. Thanks to the table, as well as application of Gimp Paint Shop brushes and tool presets, this improvement would appear to be significant

December: Ironically, the most productive month of 2010 for me, with a fairly equal mix of Delilah, Super Collie and random other stuff (mostly thanks to FurcoNZ).

Summary: A lower art output than last year, hopefully justified by an increase in quality
