Animated version of https://www.deviantart.com/vanillaswi... For my 10 year DA anniversary in October, I know I want to redraw some of my favorite pictures, but also thought it'd be fun to animate one too! Of course these take me a while so here's the WIP, hopefully I can color it soon enough. Pretty happy with this, always knew I could animate, just need to actually do it lol.

It's my 24th birthday today! I was 14 when I first started posting art online in 2015 so now I'm a decade older! I don't really feel different but my hair has definitely gotten longer :D I speed colored this last night XD

Wanted to draw Maryland with Virginia, because I've only drawn her once in like 2017 and wasn't a huge fan of my design for her, but I did a mild redesign and I like her a lot more! I've also done some experimentation with pixel art and it was pretty interesting and fun to do, might do commissions for it for like 30 dollars since it kind of took a bit longer than I thought. These are sketches I've done at work and home throughout this week.

This is from the previous image that was for 4th of July but I don't really want to finish that but I liked this part so I decided to color it instead. In this image he isn't afraid of her lol just afraid of lighting the sparkler. I haven't drawn Oklahoma in years but have strangely drawn Mass quite a bit lately, although he is one of my favs X)

Design for the Electorate of Saxony, using specifically the electorate flag, I really like her design and I want to draw her with Brandenburg since they both were important states during the Protestant Reformation. (Also EU4 although I haven't played as Saxony yet) I had a bit of a break from drawing again since I had to get used to full time hours. I also remade Twitter, I really regret deleted my previous account :( I liked posting WIPs there are will do it again. https://x.com/VanillaSwirl6_/status/1939143734488170965

YAY I finally finished this!! It didn't even take that long in real time I just got very busy with finals, work and traveling after I graduated :D I do want to animate again I have more ideas but I really want to draw more still images first I felt like I needed to finish this before I could start anything else lol. To celebrate my graduation I'll probably draw something self-indulgent, although that's pretty much been what I've been doing the last couple of years XD Anyway I did enjoy drawing and animating this and I am pretty proud of it although it's definitely not perfect, I hope you like it too!

I saw that on March 19th the New Mexican flag was adopted 100 years ago so I had to draw something even if it's a bit late. I like drawing casual scenes like this with my OCs hanging out, I also like drawing food, it's fun lol. I haven't drawn Arizona for a couple years so it was nice to draw her again too. Been pretty busy with school and work over the past month and it will only get busier for the next, but hopefully I can post something soon!

Practicing animation with Kansas! Wanted to try something simple-ish and I'm somewhat liking how it's coming out. I'll hopefully fully color it soon, although I'm pretty slow.

[vanillaswirl6]

Finished drawing the WIP, enjoyed drawing her again after several years. Want to draw Kansas or Indiana next.

Since I finished all 50 states I'll do some Canadian Provinces while I draw US states I haven't drawn in years. Maybe I'll do some Mexican states soon too! Been busy with work, school, and had a bit of an art block but I'm excited to be back after a little break lol

[vanillaswirl6]

Colored my Alabama sketches! I say this about all my OCs but she is one of my favorite designs, even though I haven't drawn her in years oops. I need to update and draw many OCs and will be focusing on that going into the new year.
