hello! and happy new year everyone! here's a recap of some of the art I've done this year. 2025 was overall pretty kind to me, but there were some ups and downs, i want to share my thoughts. and future plans!
(also i apologize if this is too long :s)
first of all, from the start, i had some big goals in mind for 2025, to make art more consistently and frequently than last year, and my plan was to basically do this; "if i had 2 pieces done on January last year....this year I'll have 3 on this January!"
but unfortunately, i also started getting fancy with my art, making big pieces and putting way too much effort into em, leading to burn out... so overall instead of quantity, there was quality. but i am really proud of what I've done this year and hopefully next year ill be able to do more things.
another thing that didn't help me pump out art was just life in general, i wanted to better myself. Around the second half of this year i also started being a bit more social with peeps, trying to find discord servers and online games.
i have made some friends but i still struggle with being a bit of a introvert. in some discord servers that i am in i would LOVE to talk to some of the people in there and share my stuff and have a grand ol' time, but I'm just a tad wee shy...but i am working on it!
something else that happened this year was that i joined TikTok! i know, ew, but, it IS where most people spend their time and there are lotta cool artists in there. I've had a friend guide me through TikTok with tips and tricks like i was an old man.
And surprisingly two of my posts banged! and i gained a LOT of followers in like a day! (not for the reasons i would like, but ill take it!) ....but while i gained a lot of followers... the rest of my art still did kind of trash in comparison, i still got some stuff to learn about TikTok i suppose!
another thing that happened is that i made an animation! it wasn't anything crazy but it was more so a test to see how far i could stretch the idea of puppeteering pngs on blender to make animations and practice editing videos ill try to do this format again in the future
nobody can know what the future holds but i got some big plans for this year;
- keep expanding my portfolio
- animate something again
- getting/promoting commissions
- leave replies on other people's art (this is a big plan since I'm shy :))
- try to work on my neocities page/ learn html again since social media SUCKS and it would be cool to have a lil corner of the web just for me
- start working on a webcomic
that last one is something I've been meaning to start for a while but i wanna make it as good as it can be before starting to pump it out there, get it all nice and laid out :) this webcomic was something i already made
but i kind of beefed it and wanted to start over, since nobody really cared for it anyway lol, but i also don't care about whether it does well or not, its for myself, to prove i can finish something and tell jokes and stories before working on something REALLY complicated.
I'm still not sure if ill upload the pages here or on a separate account, but stay tuned for that!
so that was my 2025! like i said, overall a pretty good year but I've had some downs in it too, which i wont go too much into detail, but its pretty positive to say its been more good than bad! so yeah!
also, to everyone that follows me and isn't a bot, has left a like in some of my stuff or anyone that has reposted my art, i really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much <3
and thank YOU for reading this!
i wish you all the best of luck this year and a swift 2026!
