Here she isssss, I love Riptor sm she's so scrungly and sillyyy, I went through an absolute journey with this, which is why I included my practice sketches as a show of how frustrated I got. I kinda had to relearn how to draw dinosaurs, which is gonna serve me well in the future, but absolutely did not serve me well in this moment.
I had probably 2 or 3 moments where I said "fuck it, I'm doing something else" and I'm really glad I stuck it through because I'M SO PROUD OF THISSS WEEEEEEE, it left me pretty mentally exhausted because of a bunch of other outside factors.
I also tried something that I've never really done before, which is a digital background, it looks really bad in some places if you look hard enough (like her teeth in the middle one, jesus christ) but overall I think it turned out alright, it opened the opportunity for quicker background work without sacrificing too much quality. I might add a background to the physical drawing in the future if I ever get the time. This thing absolutely overloaded my brain so I would prefer to not look at it for a very long time

On December 31st 2023, I decided that 2024 was gonna be the most productive year of my life, not just in terms of art but also just with life in general. I'd say I did a pretty damn good job holding myself to that. This was the year that I worked my ass of in school to make sure I graduated on time, got my first job, and officially launched my commissions (despite not actually getting any this year, rip).
One of the resolutions I set for myself was to finish at least one project every month, and I WOULD'VE actually pulled it off if not for school getting in the way. March and April were definitely the busiest months of the year for me. I almost didn't finish my October drawing because of my job but I pulled through last minute. Overall, I completed about 70 projects this year, give or take, which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE, especially for me because I work pretty slow most of the time.
The amount I've improved this year is genuinely insane to me, like if I showed my past self all the stuff I've made, I think I would have a heart attack and perish. I feel like I'm becoming the artist I've always wanted to be, and there's still an infinite amount of things I wanna do. My 80 page google doc of ideas doesn't even begin to capture it all.
I've been considering making videos on DeviantArt to maybe give advice to struggling artists, nothing super serious, probably just little 3-5 minute rambles to hopefully spark some motivation out of people, whether it be on how to draw something, or how to approach creative challenges, or even just life advice in general. I'm probably not the most qualified to be giving out serious advice, but after everything I've done this year, I feel like all the knowledge I've gained deserves to be shared (:
I may have one other thing that I finish before 2025 if I get to it in time but no guarantees, so that's all I suppose. See you all in a year HEHHEHWHAHAHAGDHWW
HERE HE IS HE'S SO COOL WAWAWAWAWAWA :0 he gives me vibes of the sexy emo lion from Lion King 2
Meet Sirius, he belongs to Myrt1e on DeviantArt, this definitely felt like a nice little palette cleanser after my last drawing, even though I had to refresh myself on dragon anatomy since its been like 4 months since I've drawn one. I forgot how fun it is to do glow effects, which I'm not actually sure if his bright red spots glow but they kinda looked like they might so I just ran with ittttttttt everything looks cooler with a bit of ✨n e o n✨
This was a gift for WisteriaStudios18 on DeviantArt, WHO YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO FOLLOW BC THEIR ART IS LIKE RLLY COOL AND STUFF
This is their wof OC Lemon and I love her sm
I LOVE KILLER INSTINCT SO MUCH RRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I just started playing like 2 weeks ago but I already think this might be one of my favorite games ever, would highly recommend if you enjoy fighting games, or just fast-paced games in general. I was introduced through watching Maximillian Dood play it on YouTube and it caught my interest, AND THEN I learned that Mick Gordon composed the music and I was SOLD
There's plenty of single player content if online play isn't your thing (LIKE ME). Oh yeah, and I almost forgor, ITS FREE ON STEAM. There's also the anniversary edition that's like 30 bucks, but it you're not sure you'll enjoy it, you don't even have to spend a penny to try it out. The free version only has 2 characters that are unlockable (one of the being Jago here), but there's also a free character that rotates out weekly, so you can still experience every character if you wait long enough.
I wish Microsoft actually gave a shit about the IP, but instead of making good games they would rather renew the Halo TV show for a third season, god forbid. BRING BACK KI YOU COWARDS
