Hi, I'm Farsek aka HipsterFlamingo

Well folks, it's been one of The Years of a Time. Cursed year 13 on FA. I don't think I need to elaborate on why, we all know, so I'm gonna focus on the good parts of this year.

In terms of art, this has been my most productive year ever, I think. Since this time last year, I posted 45 pictures here out of about 90 pictures total for various other accounts, and also made 87 pages for my comic. depending on how you count it, that's more than 170 pictures... I made more art this year than the previous 4 years combined. I think personally I've gotten really good at doing backgrounds. After a long period of stagnation, my account finally hit 500 watchers! I probably would've been more excited if it had happened on any other year... but thank you to everyone who follows my work.

I also started streaming regularly this year, which has been fun! Made a number of friends this year through it. Been interesting to see how difficult it can be to just sketch a picture when people are watching, so clearly that's something I need to work on.

I also decided to start working on a long term dream of mine to make games. I've stated trying to learn Godot, which hasn't been very easy by myself, so if anyone knows a good place to ask questions about developing for it let me know lol.

In that vein, I also stated designing a card game! I don't really think much will come of it, but I do have all the rules and a bunch of cards made, so perhaps I'll throw what I have up on Tabletop Simulator at some point.

So yeah, a lot of ups and a whole lot of downs, but I'm pushing through it for the moment!

Happy Christmas!
