my 2023 summary of art!

Template:here

still not consistently posting anywhere, but I like doing these. they're fun there's a lot of things i would've liked to include but had to exclude, due to not being shareable on this account. maybe i'll have more stuff next year!

this is long, so details under the cut

JANUARY silly lizard oc i generally dont do much single line hatching, so it was nice to fiddle with it this time

FEBRUARY the wittle scrunkly lizard last time i drew this one, they were an lps shitpost, so its nice to like draw them normally lol

MARCH herman is running out of time glasses axolotl but make him neon idk

APRIL fancy calico i honestly dont know whats up with the clothes, i just kinda drew whatever tbh

MAY yippie!! toontown oc! was playing ttcc w/shard and co, this is the character i ended up making i also got covid around april-march iirc so i was feeling horrid for a while (and the remaining symptoms didnt clear up till like june)

JUNE an oc i got years ago but didnt have the confidence to draw for a while lmao anyways i like her colors and shape, she's fun

JULY mandatory artfight posting this was one of the last ones i did! ocs belong to pookapooka and they were so fun to paint

idk if ill be doing artfight again tbh. ive been doing it consistently since sun vs moon but its honestly felt less fun ever since the tiktok invasion`and how ppls behavior has changed, and especially since the whole ownership thing that happened mid fight this year. (not interested in any of the alternatives ive seen either bc they have the same issues, notably worse issues, or are not furry friendly) but tbh that might just be me being disenchanted with online art spaces due to the intensifying shittification of basically everything, fucking rip

AUGUST ring but hes going to jail (again but for real this time) the staxie monthly prompt was barbie mugshots but i . . . i did this with ring and lumos and promptly forgor to do this with cakes and ale like i was planning to lmfao im actually gonna watch the barbie movie tonight, renting it so i can watch it on the big tv (didnt watch in theaters bc expensive (movie tickets are generally 15-25 bucks in my area (compared to the 5-10 in my aunt's area (renting is cheaper per person)), and they changed the chairs to these weird uncomfy pleather recliners that make my skin crawl to "justify the price raise" + i hate sitting for more than an hour i need water, bathroom, stretch, and snack breaks))

SEPTEMBER ganache went over the hedge was very busy w/projects so i did little casual art this was inspired by me comparing the over the hedge version of supermarket by ben folds (upbeat & high energy) vs the one by the clash (melancholy + commercial-induced agony) ever since then i cant stop thinking abt how much the lemon demon guy's voice sounds like the fucking clash guy sdjkhfkjsd also over the hedge was one of my favorite movies as a kid and i watched it at least 10 times before we had to return the dvd to netflix. i also regularly played the flash games on the site until i forgot about it after finding out about miniclip + notdoppler from other kids and decided to use those for flash games instead bc more options lol

OCTOBER dta img for a new oc i got, funny long neck budgie thingy busy w/projects again so little casual art had to use old mini tablet bc previous tablet was completely unusable fucking rip

NOVEMBER ganache + cactus pony, they want to know if you have any bubblegum. do you? busy w/projects again so little casual art doodle i made in heavypaint (one of the old layerless versions, i bought a lisence for it a while ago.) i got a new tablet on black friday since the mini tablet was horrible + my broken tablet was making me work very slow

DECEMBER ring in the void (this is lore accurate) or as nic put it, "fucked up twilight sparkle" lol busy w/projects + gifts so little casual art i actually sketched this w/the mini tablet, but didnt finish it up till getting the new tablet

---

for reading this far, you get to see amogus.

i would've put amogus whisper on the chart but decided against it since im not done with that one yet lmao

heyoo im doing artfight for the first time this year, have any advice lol

honestly wasnt quite sure what it even was until earlier this month

-🧃

sure! this is only my second year but i got a general low down of how it works

- first things first, HAVE FUN! artfight shouldn’t be a chore and if you find it is you gotta take a step back. no part of participation is mandatory so even if someone’s demanding you revenge them you literally... do not have to. like, the aim of the game is just to attack people and revenge isn’t guaranteed so if you don’t wanna revenge someone then just do not!

- i personally recommend seeing if any friends are participating bc drawing their characters and getting over that initial heebie jeebies of giving people art is good practice

- how i generally found people to attack last year was just going on the browse character page until i saw a design i loved! or even a cool art style id explore and then i’d find some other cool characters on their profile! overall just going for it even though you might not know a person personally lets you draw all sorts of new characters you might have never had before

- don’t WORRY about art ability. i got art from what i was pretty sure was like a 12 year old with ms paint jpeg fill lines and i loved it so much. one of my favourite defenses from that year. the point is free art IS free art no matter the ability and even if you think someone might be out of your league i’m sure they’ll love the attack anyways

- don’t burn out! art fight lasts for the entire month so judge your own stamina- i think i knocked out like 40 attacks before i got busy and had to stop (this was just before july 10) which worked good enough for me but i found that if you feel like, say, you’d like to only do 40 attacks that year, you might be good by waiting bc a lot of artists will just stumble on your page randomly as the month goes on and it’ll go from you seeking out attacks to attacks seeking out you

- don’t get discouraged if nobody attacks you the first few days! it doesn’t mean nobody is interested, sometimes it just takes a while

- this is just a personal tip but i really like attacking people who are beginners bc like, that might make their whole WEEK yk? i know if i had fanart drawn for me 10 years ago i’d totally flip... it’s just a nice thing to do imo
