It's that time of the year again! ´7` Doing this every year is so fun haha!
I think my art and artstyle has stopped changing lmao I don't see much improvement other than using colors a bit better (LOTS OF PASTELS YAY) and being able to draw different types of faces the way I want them too haha ´7`b 

Well this year has been kinda slow art-wise, since I've been pretty busy with trying to graduate from uni, so I was drawing less _(:3_)TL I didn't draw my babies enough sobbb! 
But I finally picked up the pace lately so yay ´7`

:flail: Anyway this year I made more great SAI-brush discoveries! This helped me become a bit faster when drawing, thank goodness ;7; I also started using Photoshop CS6 lately, and even though I'm still not very familiar with it, I think I'll use it more in my works from now on. //still though...Sai is my love o)-)
 
:flail: Also this year I started auctioning some of my cms, which gave my big breather with my work. I really can't thank everyone enough for their interest ;u;♥

:flail: Ah and before I forget, getting a new computer and tablet this year was such a joy ´7` Finally being able to stream again without my old laptop lagging 8D Streaming has been such fun, and it also helps me work faster haha //no distractions to surf around the web or check tumblr etc LMAO//

:flail: Health-wise, I continued doing the things I did in 2015, which helped improve my hand/wrist's health. Also welp, I wasn't drawing as much this year, so I guess those breaks helped my hand too :'D Doing hourly exercises for your hands helps a lot /0/ Please take care of your hands and health in general guys!

Summed up: 

Fandom-wise: I FELL IN LOVE WITH TOKYO GHOUL AND YOI SEND HELP


Original-wise: I did like almost nothing this year o(-( Except for 2-3 artbook entries sobbbb

Colors-wise: I....love white hair... and pastel colors o(-(

Style-wise: NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL LMAO though I managed to get a bit more into semi-realism, so this makes me happy!

Goals from previous year: 
-Finish designing all the Anima Failed lmao
-Try semi-realism: SUCCEEDED LMAO 

Art-Goals for 2017: Finish designing all my characters ;7; Also draw more for friends, and hold a contest or raffle/giveaway at some point *-* I also want to flesh out my Sekimori Original Species and create some ref pages etc for them. Oh and get even more into semi-realism. And also draw comics omg I wanna do comics so bad o)-)



Like always, I want to thank everyone for their support this year as well! Even though I feel that dA has made things a bit "distant" and difficult to communicate, I can still feel people's support and love <3 //you can still always find me on twitter though haha I'm super active there XD

And just like last year: I wish you all a wonderful, creative, improvement-filled and artblock-free 2017!!!  Draw what you love, share what you love, and spread positivity with your art and artistic expressions  ´7`

Such diversity in your works this year!
I feel like at this point your style is established, it's just now you are fleshing it out and improving upon it, which is a good thing. It's great to have a style that screams you to make one stand out.
I feel like you really have improved color wise, like everything just seems more solid and real looking
Hoping the best for you in the coming 2017!
