SHYGATO'S ART SUMMARY 2024

---

I had to face the most difficult and tough year of my life, starting with social problems where I thought people were distancing from me because of false accusations coming from a classmate whom I considered a "friend" and who, whenever needed help, I gave it to him. These things happen to everyone and sometimes is difficult to deal with them. For me, it lasted all summer, mixed with the stress of university and I didn't feel comfortable. Fortunately, I have been able to meet new people with whom I can talk and feel more secure.

My animation degree takes up most of my time and I see that 2025 is going to be a bigger headache and I will start with the final degree short film for at least two years. I'm still happy tho because there are many things I learn that are entertaining, but many times there are inconveniences and doubts regarding professionalism. It is also a significant expense of money.

Problems have persisted throughout the year, including the loss of my grandfather due to a serious ischemic stroke. May he rest in peace. As if that wasn`t enough, I almost lost my uncle this Christmas due to the same thing, which fortunately left no after-effects, but he has to stay in hospital until the beginning of the year. I'm still scared, but comparatively I'm better and I hope problems don't get worse.

2024 has been an artistically difficult year. I wanted to dedicate this year to search for a specific style, "my style", although, apparently, I kept the same style throughout the year, not the one that really satisfies me, but I haven't managed to experiment much either. I wanted to be active, especially during summer and I have been unable to because I have isolated myself with my mental problems. The raffle I organized this summer suffered modifications a month after announcing the winners because I was not comfortable at all. That's why in 2025 I would like to experiment more with sketches, even if they are simpler, and be more confident when I draw (if I don't kill myself with animation before then).

I've been able to make fanarts of artists I follow, both on Instagram and X, for the purpose of trying things out and forgetting about classes when I needed a break. I want to thank these respective artists for liking my fanarts and because they have been my inspiration in a certain way.

Apart from finding my style, I would like to get more involved into character design and history. I would like to be able to make more OCs and develop them, especially with Silvia, my main character, and turn Albatro into my alter ego, so they may apparently change.

Finally, I wanted to thank all the people who supported me, specially  sxdUltra for being my main supporter along my starts ^^ I hope for future years my art can get more attention and interact with more people.

Greetings everyone and happy new year <3
