Year In Review - 2019 (Patreon)
Content
With another year almost over I'm doing my annual review again to highlight some of artwork and moments that happened in 2019. In total and excluding alternate versions, I have drawn a total of 96 pictures this year, with one still coming. That's quite an impressive number, if I do say so myself. :3
For a long time I was afraid that my output would dwindle, but it's been going steady for a while now. I think it's safe to say that I can take it easy for now and try to focus my energy on more elaborate projects, rather than trying to keep this number going even higher. In 2020 I will try to balance out commissions and personal projects more to explore new directions. We'll see how that works out. :3
My biggest advancement this year, art wise, was definitely the dive into animation. It's been quite an adventure so far, albeit not always a positive one. There's a sense of entitlement among some furries, that really got to me when I started out. The attitude of "demanding" a certain level of quality from someone who clearly had no prior experience in it, can get frustrating. Especially so if it is done behind one's back. I have moved past it for the most part however. I just wish that some people would rather focus on trying to improve an artist's work instead of tearing it down for their own amusement. Oh well.
In addition to animation, I also made my first Dakimakura design. So yay for that! :3 Plus, I'm finally trying more to include other characters of mine and not just my tigers. Although seeing as how many tiger pictures I included in this review, you wouldn't know that from just this picture. :P
And of course, emotionally, my biggest events were August and November: My proposal to my longtime tiger boyfriend Asyr, who is now my fiance and moving in with him.
I honestly couldn't be happier! :3 The immense support I have received from Asyr and everyone of my friends, family and fans has been nothing short of overwhelming. You guys are amazing! :3
Thank you all for making this year so special for me. :3
I wish you the best for 2020 and hope you can enjoy the last few days of 2019. :3
