My cards for the Jacksepticeye Card Exchange (@jsecardexchange) for 2018 and 2019 respectively.
(More backstory below the cut!)
I did the first one in like a day; I remember watching a christmas movie with my parents and vigorously working on it...Then I did the second one in like...a month and sent it out at an embarrassingly late date XD
As I did the second one I remembered the first one didn’t seem christmassy enough, and then I found it again and I was like “...Why would I ever use black in a christmas card?” XD I think it just didn’t cross my mind not to really. Plus, I was rushed, as mentioned so I wasn’t thinking super clearly.
I really like the second one though!! Of all the times I’ve used that pattern on the sides, I think this it’s my favorite. It’s interesting to see the subtle ways my art changes between the years.
The jsecardexchange has been such a source of light in my life these past few years. I was mentally in one of the worst places in my life during November/December 2018, and not being able to see any of my relatives for Christmas added greatly to that. Being able to receive cards and little nice messages from people on the internet was more helpful than I’ll ever be able to express. I really needed a little something to brighten my days during that time and it definitely accomplished that. I’m so grateful for it.
My dad loves music so I made this as a card for him one year.
Another touch up of an older drawing. Again, why didn’t I just pick up a sharpie? XD
From what I remember, I made this card all in one day, so there are definitely mistakes from me going too fast, but I’m still impressed with how it turned out!
