Nope I'm not stopping this still. XP At this point it'd feel weird *NOT* to update this in December. Still drawing, still playing way too much DnD. I think a lot of my improvements this year were the little things. Trying out new shading stuff, cleaning up my art. Not big leaps but I notice some stuff and there are works I did at the start of the year that I still like so that's always a good sign in my eyes. And that's just the way I see it at this point, as long as I keep drawing I'll keep seeing steps in the right direction. So I continue to look forward to the next year~!

Lets do this! Another year, another update! Damn this thing is big now isn't it? Sometimes I wonder if I should keep updating this every year, but it doesn't hurt, right? Not as much art was done as I would have liked this year. Life has been draining and sometimes very stressful. But I've continued building a collection of different sellable designs, and I'm hoping that 2020 is going to be the year of you know... being able to make some kind of profit with the thing I love doing? I've continued enjoying my time with Midgardia as well, and my love of D&D has been quite the inspiration when it comes to a lot of my work. Cross your fingers for me that this coming year I can start getting some tables at local cons, and I'll of course keep my DA updated if that happens. Hope everyone has a great new year in 2020!

Alright everyone, the tradition will continue on! Will I ever get tired of this? We just don't know. On and off a lot of the year I've been planning/working on merch for cons next year and building up a respectable starting collection of worthy stuff. Besides that working on some more lighting, coloring and things like that. All in all I'm happy that stuff I made at the start of the year I don't hate, and I just want to keep up consistently making art and hopefully improving. There were points in time this year I did get frustrated at the fact I couldn't get images in my head out on 'paper' but... I hope over time I'll get by that annoyance.

This really is a tradition at this point. XD; Feels kinda fun updating this once a year, even if the years seem to keep going by faster and faster. I don't have too much to say about this one? I didn't do as many completed pieces as I'd like (or at least ones I feel had a chance of being put in this meme). This year was a lot more doodles and quicker shit that don't exactly fit. But at least I had enough finished stuff to continue updating this. Kinda wish I saw more improvement? But one thing that doesn't show with a finished thing is, I think I'm getting faster at art as a whole? Too bad I didn't draw as much as I'd like.

Yep, just keeping with the tradition at this point. Less pokemon and more D&D characters. Also, for the first time in this, traditional art is being showcased. I've been working on traditional art a lot this year and my sketchbook actually has a lot of stuff in it I like. All in all it's been a decently busy year, with creating new characters and really enjoying designing them!



. | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | EDIT 2015 | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
Another year, another update. One cool thing about this one though? I've now reached the point where I've been drawing and posting art on the computer for 10 years (Edit: Guess who doesn't pay attention, this is actually the 11th year)! That's a bit nuts for me to think about, yeah I've been drawing on the computer about a year longer then that, but theres nothing left that I can find and add to this so yeah, ten eleven years. Holy shit. It's always a bit fun picking what to put in here, and surprisingly the first box was the hardest to decide that to put in. Cause I KNEW I wanted to put in a color challenge. Rikuto's just happened to look the cleanest to me. It's also fun this year cause I have a pokemon, anthro, comic and human drawing to put in. I feel like I can't see much improvement as I'd like, except with the human drawing. But all around I don't hate the work I've done this year.

It's always fun to update this at the end of the year now. ^^ This year I finally have anthro art again to put in that I'm happy with, though partially sad since there isn't enough room for the decent background that image has. XD Besides that I think I had some decent improvment this year. Three months without work I tried to keep myself distracted with drawing (you know, once I COULD draw) and thanks to my PMD ask blog I think my speed had gotten better. For the first time in a long time I've even been happy with my art if it doesn't have shading, which didn't happen before!



. | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | EDIT 2013 | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
And here we go again, another year and more art to add. No anthro art this year, while I HAVE been drawing some of my characters it wasn't good enough for the limited spots the meme gives. Decided to keep up with the pattern of adding one comic page I liked, though this time no color for that one. Ran out of time for coloring on M8. PMD-E might have ended, but I plan to keep up on the pattern and add a page from PMD-U for next year!

Hopefully the next year I can draw more then I did this year, and continue to grow better.

Holy shit another year! And this one... kinda sucked in my opinion. There were MONTHS were I didn't upload anything then I'd spam my followers for the next month with so many comic pages. XD; I seem rather inconsistent.

Improvement wise, I don't see a lot. I think backgrounds I tried working on more, I experimented with shading and textures a little. Still in PMD-E making comics, and since joining SXL I've tried working on drawing humans which is a rather difficult thing for me right now. But I do hope that by this time next year I've improved on it.

Didn't draw my anthro characters as much, well at least not completed images. Quite a bit of sketching just nothing posted here. Looking forward to the next year though. ^^

Wow and here we are at another year's end. I know it's a bit early this year, and I'm holding back on the 2011 summary till closer to the end of the month. Hopefully I draw something I like for the December slot. XD

Anyways, added in 2011 for this summery. Three anthro pics I'm really proud of and then a page of a comic I've done that I really like the look of.

It is fun to see this thing grow every year. The two blank years do bother me but really I just can't find any old art to fill them. Which sucks.



. | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | EDIT 2010 | . | . | . | . | . | . | . | .
Well it't the start of a new year, so I desided to add a new section with the 2010 year. XD I think that was some big impovment then. Saw some other people update their memes with this year, so thought it would be cool. Never know, I might keep updating this every year to see more changes. XP Oh, and by the way, was WAAAY too lazy to find the original text I used for this. Meh. Maybe I'll fix it later.

Yaaa... Another Meme. This one I really enjoyed to do. XP Old art is old and horrible. I don't actually have any digital art from '03 or '04 so... You get red lines there. XPNext time I post here it will be actual art!
