2012, such a short year it was I didn't even noticed when it started and it's ending up already.
- In 2012 I uploaded 65 deviations (there was more but dA deleted some, THANKS ASSHOLES jk), my dA front page was visited 123,863 times (and almost half it is made probably by myself ) and I got 1 Daily Deviation.
- Last year wasn't very visible progressive for me, my art style didn't evolve so much, maybe my anatomy got a bit better, faces a bit less childish, I started to notice that oh wow! guys really can have some bigger muscles than the pansy ones I usually draw, but effects of this discovery won't be probably visible for a long, long time
- First half of the year wasn't very spectacular, I started to RP at the beginning of this year, joined Love-hotel and my life was revolving around it a bit too much. But I do not regret it, I created Clover (his application was the first deviation i submitted in this year), met a lot of amazing people and created great bonding with them. In the late spring I got back to taking commissions so i got more active.
- In 2012 I continued experiments with digital colouring my traditional sketches, trying new things, adding more layers and finding out new shading methods. When I started to edit my traditional sketches in Photoshop, i was just changing lines colors and adding some gradients, now they are fully colored, much more detailed, actually I'm not sure if calling them still sketches is adequate anymore.
- I started to use blue color more often, which till now was really troublesome for me.
- I started to use textures.
- The big step forward for me was a Clover x Cross: Good Morning picture (actually it's my favorite one) where I made fully colored interior background. It was next followed by Commission: That night and my first Daily Deviation I am the Plague . All of them were some kind of challenge for me and I'm really proud of them. I hope to draw more fully colored illustration like those i next year.
- I'm getting more familiar with drawing pictures fully digitally, what always was troublesome for me.
So, that's how my 2012 year looked. If I'll survive tomorrow, I have a list of things I wish to realize in 2013:
- I would like to finally start to work on my comic - Continue my journey with digital media - Make a website, get a website, whatever. I really wish to have all my stuff in one place, I'm in much too many places around the internet - Maybe start to work on some prints? Artbook maybe? - Be rich and famous HASFAHFAGSFS
So wish me luck and I count on your support, the same you gave me in this year
wow, I just realized you were right about 2012 being a fast year O_O;;
Even if it isn't as noticeable in the art, I'm glad you're making small improvements that's always a milestone when you realize you're getting better love that you're more comfortable with the blues, their just stunning X3 course most of your work I find is stunning if not dangerous because of all the blood loss vuv
Can't wait to see what you do in 2013 XD least we can say we survived the "end of the world" crap, means more lovely pictures from you
