For everything I write, I'm gonna make sure everybody learns one thing about Penelope. Like I'll try and make it from her POV as often as I can or then at the very least, you WILL learn one small thing about her. A quirk, a memory, a silly, a mistake, anything. She will be everywhere because she is.
was abt to say “I’m drawing the most self-indulgent thing I’ve ever drawn” and while that’s probably true, it would be MORE true to say I’m drawing the most sophienne-indulgent thing I’ve ever drawn. and that includes my wip of their fursona
last thought i have on this i love how everyone’s collectively the funniest motherfuckers right now, like was it all building up all these years, was this the breaking point
seems i had a lot less polished pieces this year, but i really don’t think anyone can blame me for that. i had a tooon of fun playing around with characters n concepts tho!!! twas the year of aus n fan content. also drawing others’ ocs! shoutout to art fight in july :D
... also i was surprisingly productive in the PMV department. kinda funny how i made one every four months LSKDJF
all in all, i think it was a pretty good year for my art. i certainly learned how to draw a polished reference, and how to put together a story in video form! and i’d like to think i’ve gotten better at anatomy, different bodies/faces, poses, and dynamics ^^
uhh end of year rambling undercut! because what better place to get reflective than a year summary, eh?
well... 2020. the end has come, and it’s been both an eternity and entirely too fast. how about that, eh?
not gonna lie, the year was tough. the reasons are obvious and not so obvious. january brought a whole host of turmoil before anything even started going down. getting back into school, taking a step back from a relationship, and having my roommate leave was certainly a whirlwind of emotions. not to mention the older things i was still dealing with. grief is one hell of a drug.
gonna be honest, tho. i don’t quite remember what happened from january to march. i know life did, but it feels like an entirely different year. considering how everything went nuts in march, i don’t blame myself.
finishing the semester in quarantine was a ride on its own. i don’t wanna dwell on it, but i did get to spend time at my sister’s house! and she did get a new dog. so it wasn’t all bad, even if all the new stress made me want to slip into a vegetative state. and i found out i was a demigirl in april! go me!
the summer was... well. it was the summer. a pandemic summer. tropical depression/anxiety/everything else in a nice wrapped up box, basically. we did go to the beach though! so that was nice. and i did get to do artfight in july, which was really neat.
and... y’know. got to step back into that relationship i mentioned. that was wonderful 🖤
going back to school was a ride on its own. i had a new roomie and new suitemate. getting to know them was intimidating at first. navigating classrooms with new COVID protocol was a little weird, too, but i got into it well enough. school was... well. school. almost got burnt out a few times. cried over classes. the usual. but i made it out with good enough grades, so hey! i made it through pandemic school twice! and i’m friends with my roomie n suitemate (and my suitemate’s cat). looking forward to seeing them (and my datemate 🖤) when i’m back next year.
honestly... this year was a blur. it’s a mess in my mind, and only little snatches stick out. it was hard. it was full of hurt. and i’m not sad to see it go.
but it was also full of little joys. full of friendship. full of care. full of creation and escapism and a loooot of self reflection. so it wasn’t all bad. and i’m forever grateful to my friends- newer and older- for all their support and all the good times we had. and i’m grateful to my datemate, too. i don’t know where i’d be without co 🖤
all in all... that’s one hell of a year done. we’ve got this, guys. we made it, and i’m so proud of all of us 🖤🖤🖤
let’s keep our heads down n masks up for the new year, eh?
well considering my mom lost my old fangs i had to buy new ones at full price ... sobs..
and damn well almost fucked them up entirely cus i couldnt fucking fit them right. thank god i had left over powder since last time i did it perfect in one go, dont know what my issue was this time
but the one tooth is. a lil crooked and honestly you cant tell but I CAN because I KNOW and its gonna bother me-- SKDJ
