Happy New year, everyone <3
So, what about the results of this year...
2025 was very contradictory. There were many bad, depressing moments, but at the same time, it turned out to be extremely productive. I graduated from the biology department (what a stress with the diploma and exams), my scientific work on Sachalinocetus cholmicus was published (albeit weak, but still my first in a journal! everyone has to start somewhere), I participated in Artfight for the first time (a record number of detailed artworks for July), and drew a lot of works in general... I'm finally finding a style that I'm comfortable drawing in and creatures that I enjoy drawing the most. Unlike last year, which was full of ferals and dinosaurs, this year there were a lot, a LOT of anthro characters, but I actually like that! The Year of the Snake truly lived up to its name... HAHAHAHA. After graduating from university, I really got going and I'm not lacking in productivity, but it's not without consequences — I'm still trying to recover from my studies, which haunt me in nightmares, and total exhaustion and constant moving have caused me insomnia that hasn't gone away since the summer. And in general, I'm pretty burned out, having lost interest in a lot of things... The funny thing is that I still haven't found my style, constantly jumping from one rendering method to another — because old methods cease to be convenient and comfortable when bipolar phases change. It bothers me a little, I want to have something stable, marketable, but I try not to think about it too much — I think if I had been drawing using the same technique for years, I would have quickly become bored. So I'm constantly searching for myself and trying to improve, finding lots of gaps in my knowledge and trying to fill them. It's fun, although it's hard to combine with work — it's difficult to build a portfolio. Well... that's just how I am.
I'm trying to improve my health and finally understand what I want from this life and how I can live it most comfortably. New acquaintances, old friends, all kinds of markets, walks, and festivals—all of this has filled the end of this year, and I'm sure that next year will be even more eventful.
But for now... I'm very tired, and I definitely need to rest.
I hope that next year will be even better, and I will finally get rid of all the consequences of COVID-19. But I won't make any predictions. I will gradually move forward toward mental peace and physical recovery, as well as comfort in my life. I want to better understand myself, my abilities, and my desires. Many adventures and discoveries await me, and I hope that none of my plans will fall through!
I also want to thank all of you for supporting me and following my work. Your likes, comments, and reposts warm my heart, and I am incredibly happy to know that so many people are interested in my work and my stories!
I wish everyone a comfortable and happy New Year, lots of pleasant experiences and discoveries, may all your dreams come true, and may your endeavors and efforts lead to success. Thank you for being with me!
Happy 2026!!!
