I always find New Years' Eve/Day to be really weird. >u>
Anyways
I feel like I ended 2014 on a good note academically and artistically. School has been super tough and time consuming this year, but I think that since I've stopped slacking off in school a lot more, I've actually done the best in school this year compared to previous years.
Art wise, I'm pretty happy for the most part. :')
january -> december
january -> november
2014 was a year of painting and struggling over anatomy and color theory. I've also never been this frustrated with my art before, but I think it paid off?
both december
If there are some things I want to improve on more next year, it would probably be expressions, hands, more appealing compositions... Oh, and most of all, going through with things. I have a big problem with wanting to do amazing things and telling all these stories in my head but I have trouble staying motivated long enough to complete them. Some things I barely start on before they crash. Other times I do a TON of work before they burn (Sempiternal, Crossing, Deck of Spades). But regardless, it all ends at some point.
WELL NOT THIS YEAR HAHAHAH.
Hopefully.
This year will be the year of the Nuzlocke for me. (If you're not sure what a Nuzlocke Challenge is, check here ->
fav.me/d55wd1rI've done multiple drafts before, one of which one page was completed and posted. But these things are HUGE commitments and require hours upon hours of drawing and planning and storytelling. I feel like doing a comic like this would be the best way to successfully improve with the things I want to. After I finish all my current art trades and commissions, I probably won't do any more art for others (besides kiribans) until April or March.
Ughughughugh. I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. otl. i try not to post journals like these, but with this giant adjustment happening and what's to come in 2015, i feel like i should let you guys know? idkk I won't be too offended if you unwatch me because of this since ik i have a handful of watchers watching me for specific things.
OH AND if i dare try to quit this project sometime this year, slap me plz. thx.
let's hope 2015 is awesome.
