🌈 Art of 2024

ramblings under read more;

This year I tried to go with loose sketchy lines, and more contrasting values/colours! I'm trying to stop my brain telling me that every line needs to be perfect, and to ignore backgrounds if they're too stressful, because at the end of the day, who cares?

At the start of 2024, my goal was to try to find a fun and fast art style to help set my "brand". Now, at the end of the year, I don't want to box myself into one set style, even if having one go-to look would help tremendously with applying to conventions and marketing myself. Lots of overarching themes though! (half-body, glowing eyes, more spooky/horror adjacent, fx and typography)

I have some other fun pieces I haven't been able to post yet (part of upcoming zines) - with limited colours and halftones; two things that I also enjoy playing around with that have drastically different styles and tones than what I've been uploading lately (aside from the Swim On sharks)

My comic has also been taking over a majority of my free time, so I suspect next year will be hunkerin' down and working on that some more. I think my 2025 goal is to just focus on having fun with art and doing whatever.

Thanks for sticking around with me for this long! I appreciate you all.

And finally, here's my art compilations of yesteryears

🦈 Greenland Shark 🦈

"With the longest lifespan of any vertebrae at 400 years and more, these sharks become the unlucky host of a parasite that only attaches to their corneas and renders them blind."

[garou-art]

🦈 Goblin Shark 🦈

"Also known as the Elfin Shark, it's believed to be slow and sluggish. Using it's elongated snout to hunt, it can then dramatically extend its jaws to capture slippery prey. After death, it looses its pink pigmentation."

[garou-art]

🦈 Basking Shark 🦈

"The second-largest fish, this gentle giant gets it's name from drifting along the surface and "basking" in the sun while filtering for plankton with it's huge mouth!"

[garou-art]

🦈 Frilled Shark 🦈

"Regarded as a living fossil, this eel-like shark is rarely seen since it lives at such extreme ocean depths. Despite being around and relatively unchanged for over 80 million years, the first natural sighting was in 2004."

[garou-art]

🦈 Thresher Shark 🦈

"Named for their scythe-like tail fin that takes up almost half of their full length, the thresher will use their extremely long tails like a whip to herd, stun and catch their prey."

[garou-art]

🦈 Great White Shark 🦈

"Known for their curiosity, they will poke their heads out of the water to investigate prey, called spy-hopping."

I realized I never actually uploaded my individual shark pieces from Swim On over the last few years! Each shark I wanted to play with different styles, so no two are the same
