Backlog's finally cleared! That took a long time. Wow. Especially Ucro's thing. I'd rather things take long then look bad, though! And as tough as it was, I had fun with it, as usual.

I've been doing pixel art as a hobby for about a decade, now. I can't remember the exact date I started, though. Some of the first things I did were called "Ticons", which were basically crappy ripoffs of deviantart's emotes made using the circle tool in MSPaint. I started making them on a now-dead forum for people's avatars, and even though they looked terrible I think I made over 50 of them. Those are on a long dead hard drive, though, so I don't think I'll be seeing those ever again. Shame.

Even though I've been dabbling in the art for so long, I only started taking commissions on January 6th last year. The first one I completed was this! I've improved a bunch since then, so it's interesting (and kinda cringe-inducing) to look back at it all.

But hey, 2018 is still a thing, and I'm still gonna be doing stuff here! Commissions are still technically closed, but I'm going around and contacting some friends who were interested in commissioning me after the backlog was already full, so I'll be working on some of those before actually opening publicly again.

This year has been pretty life-changing to me, for the better! The past few years have been absolute insanity on a large scale, so we'll see what next year holds when we get there. Live in the moment!

And of course, thanks to all of y'all who've supported me over this year. I don't know what I'd do without your love. <3
