My Favorite Posts of 2024
Later in the week I'll be posting my top posts for this year. But my popular posts aren't always my favorite posts, so I thought I'd highlight my own personal faves first, ranking lowest to highest. (Links go to the full versions.)
10: Lykedon the Dog Head
9: This elegant Charmian from over ten years ago is still a favorite.
8: My disheveled stableman/militiaman Wuxle.
7: Natalia from Tales of the Abyss (rocking a cute pair of stockings).
6: Servant Hakuno, before we had an official Servant Hakuno.
5: A stylized Tamamo-no-Mae and Nero that took an unspeakably long time to do.
4: More Tamamo, based on Hiroshige.
3: Commandant Tear Grants of the Order of Lorelei
2: I actually captured the personality of Alexandros, one of my most important characters.
And finally, my favorite, probably not coming as a surprise to anyone -- the cover art for To the Ravens.
With the exception of numbers 9 and 7, all of these were drawn either this year or last year. I think time often works to soften us towards disappointments in our past work, with us being more judgmental of our current stuff. I'm glad when I can take that kind of pride in my current stuff.
