Welp, it’s the end of the year, which means time for an art summary!

This has been a bonkers year for me personally, an emotional bunjee jumping rollercoaster of a year. Going from “I’m fucked six ways to sunday” to “alright, we keep truckin’ on” on average about twice a month. Mainly medical stuff.

Despite that, I did manage to achieve some personal goals I loosely set out for myself at the start of 2025: I’ve had more commissions and adopts sold this year than before; I finished another OC swap card; more artfight pieces than last year, though they were all sketchy whereas last year I did one that was a full blown painting. On the other hand, I had two painterly commissions with humans, which was a challenge for me, so there’s that. I finished Lykoris’ reference sheet, finally; and, most of all, I finally have an art summary without any months missing XD I drew *a lot* more in 2025 than in 2024 or 2023 overall. And more consitently, despite all the curveballs life’s been throwing at me. Which is a win in and of itself for me! I love drawing, but let’s not pretend it’s easy, particularly when the backdrop of the world is what it is. And I’ve always struggled with consitency, just in general, as a person.

I’m hoping to continue the trend in 2026. I developed a bit of a fear of drawing backgrounds this year, I’ve noticed, so hopefully I’ll be able to break it next year. I also want to dip my toes in animating with Procreate Dreams (particularly now that it’s gotten a major update).

Have a Happy New Year everyone and thank you for being here with me! I hope that, however 2025 treated you, that 2026 will be kinder to you, to us all. Pls… 😅
