Description

January: [link]

Comments: I have to say this was one of the most difficult pics of mine I've compiled. This was made up from several individual sketches, which were thrown together onto one canvas, hence how big it is.

In hindsight, however, I'm not overly proud of this one. Personally, I feel Alexa's legs look awkward, as does her and Ryder's poses. I failed Cyrus epically and Mesprit looks rather drugged up. But that's my opinion anyway. That said, though, I still love Ryder's expression.

February: [link]

Comments: The lighting on this one looks different in comparison to its sequel (provided in the description of the original pic) because I forgot how I did the lighting last time. Despite that, however, I was relatively okay with this pic, even though I don't really believe in Valentines' Day, which is what the pic was made for in the first place. I feel like I could've drawn Keith better (especially have his arms in a not-so-awkward place o////o), but I was happy at how Alexa turned out at any rate. Not much to say about this one.



March: [link]

Comments: This was a Mother's Day present for my mother, who loves dragons. I'm not sure if this would've been better if I did this digitally, but I still like it, considering I hadn't used traditional colouring tools - particularly for shading - in a long time. A simple concept, yes, but who can complain? My mother loved it, so why should I?

April: [link]

Comments: I do confess that this pic is actually one of my favourite moments in the story it's from - "Pokémon Ranger: Covered Tracks". It goes to show that you can often forget things when you're trying to escape with your life; if Alexa had remembered she had her Staraptor with her, she wouldn't be in the illustrated situation.

This was my first time in drawing side views for a while, so I was happy with how Jordan (knife guy) came out, but I wish the background was better. -_-

May: [link]

Comments: A bit of fanart for *SnakeSword back on her old account and before she gave Fury (the illustrated phoenix in the original pic) up for adoption.

The background was lazy, I do admit that, but I am pleased at how Gwilym and Fury turned out; I love this piece overall. And it was fun drawing Fury ^^

June: [link]

Comments: My favourite of the "collection"; Angry Dad!

I don't know if it's because I love the facial expression I gave to Hayden or the shiny Overheat effect I gave his Typhlosion that I love best, so I'm going to be on the fence and say it's both xDD

July: [link]

Comments: Don't let the date of submission fool you, this WAS drawn in July, as my signature indicates.

This wasn't vent or anything, I drew this during my hiatus because I hadn't drawn Ryder angry - or even using his bodily aura - yet, so...yeah.

The lightning and overall background leave a lot to be desired, but I think the aura turned out good at least

August: [link]

Comments: Simple pic is simple; my griffon is having a nap. Lazy as hell background and no real meaning. Yeah. Simple.

September: [link]

Comments: Promotional art for my (presently) new story, Sins of Corruption! Similar concept to Kingdom Hearts, except without Keyblades and Sora.

Joking aside, I wanted a bit of promotional art for my story, so I decided to put this together. Surprisingly, I managed to get everyone in one sheet of paper, though the Tamagotchi devices and the dragon pattern on the talisman Jade's holding were on the other side of the paper. This was my first time drawing Jackie and Jade, so I was thrilled that I managed to get this done to my satisfaction. The lightning on the Black Nodachi that Joey's holding leaves a lot to be desired, but I still love the fire around the White Katana.

October: [link]

Comments: Pretty simple concept, fairly difficult to compile. Like with January, this took three separate sketches; one for Ryder, Lupin, Olive and Shandra, one for Ronan and a third for Franz. And doing the Psychic effects was relatively difficult for Olive (considering hers is green and SHE is green) and Franz, but I think I'm satisfied with how they turned out.

I chose to give each Pokémon a different coloured Psychic energy because I felt like it. Next question?

November: [link]

Comments: I absolutely LOVE this pic! I can safely say that my frontal views on this were an ABSOLUTE success! Not to mention I love my background(s) in this as well! I don't think words can describe how I feel about this, I feel it was a rousing success!

December: [link]

Comments: Another pic I've come to love! Okay, it's the only one for December I've done at the time of submitting this meme, but I don't care; I couldn't wait to fill this meme any longer!

I love Layla's pose in this, and I'm happy about Trixie's pose, even though it took a while to construct. Shading Trixie was difficult because of her stripes, but patience was the key in getting it right, I believe 8D


Here's to another year of art 'n' stuff, folks!
