Art summary for this year, featuring some of my best works per month!

This year has been a bit of a turbulent one - had to move houses during June/July, so I didn't get a lot of time to work on art during then. I also (weirdly enough!) got swamped with a few larger-scale commissions this year, so trying to balance those with personal work, patreon stuff, streaming, RL, etc. turned into a bit of a struggle. As a result, I've had a bit of a dry spell with rendered works this year, whether it was cel-shaded or full-render.

So here's some of my goals for next year:

- Do more fanart! I've got some ideas for artwork of popular characters that I want to put on paper, and I want to do more of that. I've also got ideas for some patreon/gumroad exclusive art that I want to create on the side, so maybe I'll be able to do that this coming year.
- Do more personal art! I've been neglecting my OCs outside of commissioned work, so I want to do more pinups/action scenes with them. I've also got a couple of reference sheets that I need to make, so I'll be making those a priority outside of owed work.
- Improve my commission turnover! I've been getting a lot of commissioned work this year, so much so that a lot of you have been commissioning full-render stuff from me ^^; I'm going to try and focus on getting these done much faster from now on. I'm also going to reduce my work list from 5 to 3 slots, and open up a waiting list for anyone who's interested in getting art from me, so hopefully this will reduce waiting times for anyone on my active list.
- Sell prints/physical products. This is a tentative goal, but it's something that I wanted to do last year, but never got around to doing. Now that I have a new work area setup, I can finally purchase an A3 printer and start making physical prints of my work. I'm also considering the possiblity of making my first daki next year, but will need to decide on which character (OC or fandom) before I do.
- Work on emotes/banners/graphics/etc. for Patreon, Twitch, etc. Been putting these off for long enough now, gonna start work on them next year.

There's probably a few more that I forgot to list, but I think those are my key goals for next year. Thank you everyone who's supported me this year, whether it's commissioning me, subbing to my Twitch or Patreon, or just sharing my content wherever! I'm going to keep on working and keep on improving as an artist and as a person next year and beyond <3
