Description Well... another bad year for art. 

I feel like I haven't gotten real enjoyment out of drawing for at least two years. Drawing is a chore and a habit, something I feel like I must do to fill my days and to express my characters I build and roleplay with to the audience. It's a shitty feeling because there's not many things I'm good at in life, and when you take the main reason for even a bit of pride away, it's.. uh, it doesn't feel good. There's a lot of variation in the styles this year though. I feel like I've ventured further from my comfort box with new brushes and approaches, although it's mostly just to escape the art block.

Thank you all of you who have been and shown interest in my art this year! In moments of doubt your feedback has been invaluable. I'm hoping 2018 will be better (but I think we all do lmao).

Ugh I totally feel you in the motivation department. I'm gonna work hard to actually draw this year. 
But seriously, you have improved so much it's amazing! I've been following you for years and am consistently amazed by your stuff. You have such a neat unique style-- I can always recognize your stuff. Keep creating!

Best of luck for 2018 in that case! I'm hoping to end the new year in good terms art-wise too. Or at least better!
I've been posting my art for many years so it's really nice to hear someone's been there enjoying the ride to this day! Thanks for the nice works, friend. They always cheer me up. ♥

Your words could be coming out of my mouth as well - I share the exact problem and thoughts. It's... eh, shitty. So I totally feel you.
BUT, I think your art has developed a ton this year. You don't post as much as you used to, but the stuff I've seen have been such quality. <3 Like, wow goddamn your humans for example. And shading and use of colors. Do take pride on your art, it's better than ever.

So nice to hear this. ;; It's hard to see the improvement when everything goes so slow, but it'll always be there in anyone's case. Glad it can be seen by other people! Thanks bud, always a pleasure to hear feedback from you. <3
