#Oct to Dec 2020 Template

[fullmoonfireball]

It's been yet another year! Only one left before the big 1-0... Very weird to think about that. Anyways, I think this is my most varied year in terms of art summary pieces so far, which is pretty neat I think! Tells me I did a lot of different things this year, if nothing else.

Anyways, I would like to shout out my 2025 art goal, which is getting my custom Mimi doll done! Here's hoping that doesn't go the way of Suspect at Large...

Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / Jun / Jul / Aug / Sep / Oct / Nov / Dec

This idea came from Halloween day 2020, and I brainstormed possible ideas Oct/Nov 2020. This whole endeavor was inspired by seeing articulated finger extensions on youtube.

This took a lot of time. There were quite a lot of lulls, but days upon days of work went into this. I didn't start taking progress pictures until ~October 2021, so a lot of the process just lives in my head.

By far the most difficult part of the project was figuring out the template for the crow mask itself. I knew of the whole wrap a body part in clingwrap and then duct tape to get a template, which I did around my head to get the inner headpiece, but that only works for fitted things.

I did a whole bunch of tomfoolery over gr10 winter break to get around this. I make like a paper mockup of my head, and then I built off of it with paper tubes to get general shape and structure of the crow mask down. This took so long omfg. I wish I'd taken a picture. I made a huge mess of the house for weeks over the break as I slaved over this stupid shite. Once i'd gotten it,,, it was just like,,,, kinda rudimentarily figuring out what size the foam pieces would be 😭

It worked out eventually, but man was it annoying 💀

I don't think I worked on it much after that until sept/oct 2021. Beginning of october was the final rush because I really wanted it done for the halloween.

When gluing together the pieces, I didn't have any barge contact cement so it was a struggle. Initially I was using a contact cement, but it didn't work well with the EVA foam, and I found that I was able to just pull the glue off once it'd become tacky (wouldn't even damage the foam - was just laying on top of it). So I used a lot of superglue and... other types of glue I can't remember to force em together.

Used a dremel tool and foam clay to smoothen the seams and add more details.

Magnets are embedded in the jaw for movement and to hold the jaw in place. Initially, I wanted the lower jaw to move up and down as I move my jaw, but I never figured out a way to get the torque to achieve that (and it was too late to go down that rabbit hole once i'd realised that the jaw wasn't working as I'd hoped).

Painting was a couple layers of mod podge followed by acrylic paint and then a couple sealing coats of varnish.

Teeth were made out of peachy-coloured polymer clay and glued into the mouth after it was painted. They were used to mould the foam clay gums prior to painting.

Then it was done!

Previous yearly art summaries: 2022 - 2021 - 2020

[fullmoonfireball]

Had to rush to put this one together because I was a bozo who forgot about it until earlier today, but boom! Year over. Remember when it seemed like this year was going to be "about" me getting re-fixated on Kirby (and more specifically, Magolor)? Because I sure didn't! The sheer power of Pikmin... Anyways, standard rules apply- these are my favourite pieces from each month, limited exclusively to pieces I made and shared here that month. Let's go.

Jan / Feb / Mar / Apr / May / Jun / Jul / Aug / Sep / Oct / Nov / Dec

The template can be found here.

2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022

Anyways, yes, it is horrifying to me that I'm rapidly approaching a decade's worth of these, thanks for asking!

wrapping up 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣2️⃣‼

this year was wild - since the start of the pandemic i've lost joy in drawing, and it's taken quite a while, but i'm starting to have fun when i draw again. like i've said before, it's a tradition of mine to do these art summaries since i was in high school, i love doing them even if the year isn't fruitful. more below the cut !!

i didn't draw a lot this year due to.. life obligations... work (inc. commissions), anime north, online shop. some months i only had 1 drawing 🤦‍♀️..... and therefore i don't think i achieved a lot of my goals from 2021. there also aren't a lot of full illustrations, just a lot of busts hahaha. i spent a lot of free time away from the computer - sometimes u need hobbies other than drawing u kno??

this is what i wrote:

"in 2022 I want to go back to basics more and focus on things like depicting fabric & drapery, detail, anatomy & structure, expression & body language. I think a lot of my work lends itself to the “boring” side so I want to improve on conveying mood and a statement with my art. I’m not good at portraying expression or making something like. “visceral”. but I’ll do my best (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و"

i opted to keep a lot of my few drawings just for myself/among friends, so that i wouldn't focus on the Posting aspect of making art (bc this is what really hurt me in 2020-2021), and to just focus on the process and having Fun.

i want to continue pursuing happiness in my art, and to not ignore the stories i've always wanted to tell with my characters, about topics that are really important to me. this looked really short on twit but it looks quite long enough on tumblr hahaha - so thank you everyone !! from the bottom of my heart !! (my cold black heart)

thank you everyone for all your support and kindness this year, let's work towards being stronger in 2023 ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

Time for this year's Art Year in Review!

All during this year I have felt like I was struggling to get anything done. So looking back on it, I'm surprised to find that I did more this past year than I did in 2021. (Still not up to the levels of 2020 though.) The VAST majority of it was due to one project: the 10th Anniversary piece in June (48 pictures, 87 individuals, done in 9 days). If not for that, the year's total would have been pretty pathetic; I even wrapped up the year just doing some updated character-redraws of old pieces. But... I *did* do that, and probably burned myself out a bit doing it, so credit to myself where it's due.

Totals: 72 pieces (22 of them full backgrounds and color); 164 individuals.

I hope 2024 is better all around.
