SolarGem's summary of art 2014
Once again I have decided to do this meme. Not to copy those who are doing it, but for other reasons ^^ During the last 2 years I have made a big improvement in my drawings and I can tell by looking back on these. It is cool to look at them and compare them together to see where I changed this and that about my style and what improved it the most.
I jjust copied and pasted most of this from my dA one lol xD I know a few of these drawing were never posted here but I hope you like them anyway. I think I'll stick with posting my comics soley to dA so if you are interested in reading them then please check out my dA account which goes under the same user as here ^^
Jan- The design in this drawing was for a design trade with one of my watchers. I decided to draw this as well as the normal base ref for clearer markings and for practise with my okami style. The anatomy is a lot better here then in my older drawings and is probably what helped me most when drawing canines ^^
Feb- A redraw of an old Wolf's Rain fanart I did sometime last year or the year before. I wanted to make it somewhat realistic while keeping traces of my style in it. I'm still not completely happy with how it turned out, like the anatomy is off and the background looks a bit flat but that just makes me want to improve the drawing even more so I might up redrawing it again someday in the new year xD
Mar- This one was a completed YCH I did over on my old FA account and yes it is slightly on the mature side xD I think this is the best male anthro drawing I have done so far on any of my accounts. The coloring is so soft and the lighting looks really neat too. This is also the drawing that started me off using colored lineart. Definitely one of my fave finished YCHs :'D
Apr- A cell shaded easter themed YCH. The character I had to draw for this was a very pretty bunny and fitted in perfect with the theme ^^ I admit that this one isn't as good as the previous but it is simple and cute which is a nice change.
May- Again another finished YCH piece. Not the best drawing I've done but not bad either xD I love how the little duckies turned out especially since this was my first time drawing them lol so I am happy they at least look like what they are meant to be :'D I used black lines here which is probably why it looks really weird to me now. I think it would've looked a whole lot nicer if I had colored the lines as well but oh wells. The character looks really sweet which is good. She works well with the title and of course her name too lol x3
Jun- My Lynx issue 1 cover :D I love this and of course I love how my little Lynxy looks here. He looks really happy and energetic which is great because that is his personality anyway. Again I would've obviously preferred the lines to be colored but the black lines do not ruin this image luckily.
Jul- Ooohh lookie~ a sneak peak of Lynx issue 2's cover :D Titan looks so badass in his dark waterfall cave. The background looks great and so does he as usual pff x3 The only thing I don't like is that I forgot to blur the shading on him so it looks really off and doesn't match issue 1's cover. Sadly I can't fix this as I merged the layers, saved and exited the file before noticing :C
Aug- Yet another completed YCH piece for a buyer on here. I really like this one. The character looks adorable and the background looks good. The picnic blanket could've done with a few creases as it looks a bit flat and one of her ears looks longer then the other due to the bow but in all it came out well and the customer was happy which is always my aim ^^ This was the drawing that started me drawing anthros more human-like.
Sep- N'aww my Fiera baby <3 After not drawing my characters for an awful long time I decided to draw one that hadn't gotten much love since she was created... Fiera. I loved drawing her thick long fur and the pose too x3
Oct- Lol what can I say, I love this expression xD I had a sudden love for mermaids so ended up drawing my sona, Light, with a mermaid tail. I think the scales on the tail look really nice and shiny :3 And the water splashing up is a nice touch too. I could do with working a bit at improving the way my water/sea looks, it just looks really flat to me ;u;
Nov- A finished YCH piece again. I really love the expression here omg, she just looks really cute and happy which works well with the pose and the whole listening to music thing.
Dec- A finished YCH for one of my customers
tigercloe ^^ I loved drawing the preview sketch and was so excited to get this finished, I was so happy when she bought this as I already knew her character and seen her wearing maid outfits in other works her the gallery. I still love how this turned out. Just the outfit, pose, character and everything. I do wonder how this would've looked with a proper background and what sort of background would've gone with it but this one looks pretty neat and cute so it doesn't really matter anyway x3
and that's about it for this year's summary ^^ I hope you've liked my works this year and I really hope you will like the ones that come in the next. I look forward to drawing your characters, my own and of course my comics again. Feel free to have a look at my previous summaries <3
Here are the ones I've done before~
