I can't believe a year went by so quickly But I love doing these, so no complaints from me! I've had an amazing art year and I've learned so much. I started doing commissions in February and as cheesy as it is, I want to thank everyone who has commissioned me over the year, especially the early guys - you helped get me started, and I truly appreciate that

January - My first 'Draw me again' piece, she was my avatar for a loong time This is a very dear character of mine, and I've kind of avoided drawing her before on purpose - I find it hard to get that exact image in your head of how a character looks on paper XD

February - This was my favorite piece for a long time. I love Tezarya and Aluvia But there are so many things I'd do different now! Also old designs, omg...

March - This is kind of a cheater. I retouched this piece a bit in August but the original was made in March Many things I'd do different today... but I still consider it an okay piece considering where I was at when I drew it

April - A long time favorite commission. I love the contrast I think this was the month I discovered I hate sheets and folds

May - Started to experiment with light. A fairly timid experiment, but still

June - Still a very dear picture to me Experimented some with skincolors and light, although I wasn't very bold here either. Rhod is also the first man I drew in forever at the time XD

July - Aaah, how long this one was a work in progress... I remember that most of all XD Another experiment with skincolors and light, didn't quite turn out as I had wanted, but still like the picture

August - Redrew my favorite couple together. I have to admit I'm not a fan of how I would draw back then, I've tried to step away from the glossy shading since :/ It's like that goth phase I had as a teen, I remember it with kind of nostalgia, but also know I'm better off without it, lol XD The metal phase though, that was good shit

September - It had been a while since I did a proper pinup, and a lovely commissioner came along just at the right time This was the first of three commissions I did for them. Tried out a different shading technique for hair, alas, still doing the glossy shading for skin

October - Slowly testing my ground with different light sources. I believe this was the month when I started to actively try to keep a certain style. Really liked how this one turned out, definitely one of my recent favorites

November - Elveren! Continued to focus on toning down the glossy shading and maintain my style

December - Reminds me in a way of the February piece... which is nice, because here I can see improvement Continued to work with light sources and maintaining the style, always trying to improve anatomy for better expressions and more lively poses Very pleased with this one too

And December isn't over yet, there's more to come This was a great year and I can't wait to see what happens in 2016

Here are some things I'm going to work extra hard on in the new year
Backgrounds, especially creating depth
Male anatomy
Dynamic poses
Light sources
Magic spells/fire/etc

Here's the summary from 2014 and the blank meme:
