2020 art in review! (Patreon)
Content
NSFW and SFW versions ^^
In 2020 I got to draw so much COOL STUFF!!!! Including:
- 12 postcard illustrations (including one bookmark)
- 1 TDBKDK Valentine's smut comic, which became a book
- 1 InaTodo comic
- Hinata's Top Tour starting in June (and will continue into 2021!)
- A Halloween countdown
And more! It's been so fun. I took a year long break from fandom zine work too which was, tbh, amazing. XDDD
I started this patreon in October of 2019, and working on building it for the past year+ just been absolutely an incredible experience for me. It's given me opportunities to grow as an artist in ways I wouldn't have otherwise, and I'm so grateful to you as patrons for being a part of this. Whether you've been around for a long time, are brand new, or just passing through for a while, your support is so valuable to me. ;~;
On a personal note: in April of 2020, I was furloughed from my full time job for an indefinite amount of time, which was really scary, but having this patreon gave me the very lucky opportunity to pursue art much more fully as my primary source of income. It's been such a dream to be able to draw exactly this stuff that I LOVE to draw, full time, and have your support to back me up. The year was rough in so many ways, but to be able to draw fun, filthy, indulgent, escapist stuff, and work on improving my art on top of it has been such a gift to me.
Another big thing you guys give me is inspiration! I get so many awesome ideas from my patrons, whether it's prompts for monthly polls, suggestions in livestreams, or comments on my posts--I really love hearing what you all like and seeing if ideas or plot bunnies take hold and spawn an illustration or comic. Thank you for being part of idea-making!
In 2021 I don't have any clear big art plans, so I'll just see where the year takes me. I'm really looking forward to creating a lot more stuff for you all! I have a couple of ideas for collections I'd like to make into small-run books sometime (hinata bowl, and maybe an inatodo artbook?), so maybe I will try to make those happen this year. :')
In conclusion--thank you thank you for being a part of my art journey! On to a new year!
