Based on 2018's template by www.deviantart.com/dustbunnyth…---
Hey everyone, it's the end of the year! Weee! How about that - some old school summary of art?
I felt like doing this as this is the year I finally got back on dA. Last upload before january 2022 was november 2020. Oof! And what a year 2022 has been. I don't know for you, but I had a pretty good year! And art-wise, it has been just as good.- JANUARY www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… Started doing the DSC again, and I have a full year of it now again. It's been a while, I've missed it a lot. It kept me going, publishing daily, and it helped me try a lot of different styles.
- FEBRUARY www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… I thankfully didn't only do daily sketches, but I got some random pictures here and there. Doing fanart, like good old times. Fun fact : I finished both Dark Souls 2 and 3 this year, and I played the first one exactly 10 years before playing the second one!
- MARCH www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/C… I finally finished 2017 commissions!! This was bugging me all those years, and I think it partly prevented me from going back on dA. So I finally vanquished my old ghosts and was free to do whatever. Hooray!
- APRIL www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/C… You know what's the best thing to do right after finishing a batch of free commissions that's been bugging you for years? Starting a new one! But this one I finished, thankfully^^
- MAY www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… Got married in May! Also, I tried a cool manga-like artstyle with halftones
- JUNE www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… Back on pen-and-paper on Mauritius island!
- JULY www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… Halfway through the year, I was really happy with how my DSC were going. I felt like I was finally back at my previous skill level. Only way is up now
- AUGUST www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/P… Started working hard on my next game! More info and devlogs here -> lesam.itch.io/pirates-of-the-m…
- SEPTEMBER www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/T… I do 3d now! Weee. New skill unlocked! Also, published a webtoon www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/…
- OCTOBER www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… The last three months I was really stepping up my game on the DSC and I did a few of those that I am particularly proud of.
- NOVEMBER www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/R… Got really into Dylan Dog during this year. I was studying painting techniques by artists from this series, and I started experimenting with brushes. Something I hadn't done for years.
- DECEMBER www.deviantart.com/lesam/art/D… My favourite drawing of the year. Next year : I'll do some more with attention on lighting and coloring as seen here.
For next year, I hope to keep the DSC going. I probably won't have as much time as this year as I'm going to be a daddy! But I've seen with 2022 that I was really missing drawing as it gives me energy, so I'll be sure to continue. And hopefully I'll find some new friends on dA as that's the part I miss the most on this site, more than a design or whatnot, it's the feeling of community we had here. Maybe I'll try some things like contests, collabs (interested? feel free to write me!) and some interactive experiences to find some like-minded people. Who knows!
And you, how was your year? Any highlights? Do you have some resolutions for next year? Leave me a comment, I love to read them
