Happy New Year 2025!!!🎉🥂✨

Thank you, everyone, for another year together on this journey and for still supporting me in my art. This year which is about to end has been a bit difficult for me with many ups and downs. I lost my job in April, my only source of income, and to this day, I haven’t found anything. I made all my effort to work as a freelancer to at least get some income while I got a new one, but sadly, it didn’t go as I expected.

I knew that decision wouldn’t be easy or even get faster results but I never imagined the whole freelance process would be way too slow and face a lot of obstacles on the way, but I haven’t given up yet.

I’m sorry for the lack of content and my sudden disappearance these past months, the last week of November I got the chance to take a test, which I passed, to be part of an indie animated project as Cleanup Artist, my dedication and all my effort I did to be part was so much that I pushed myself too hard that I ended up causing two things: 1. Hurt my back to the point I can no longer sit for hours. 2. I worked too much that I did myself a bigger burnout and I feel If I forced myself to draw and didn’t rest properly I would start hating what I love.

But now with the start of 2025, my spirit has renewed, and having rest enough I will return to what I loved, drawing, this new year I’ll finally start offering art commissions, While the job search and freelance work take a direction, I will turn my passion into my source of income, expect the announcement in a couple of days.

Also, I will try to be more active both in social media and real life, learn and improve my art style, and better my mental health, now that I know the basis of animation I will practice and improve more in that area to bring you other types of content. I’m still considering the idea of Live streaming but that’s something I need to think properly before I make that decision.

Every new year comes with new challenges and I hope, if you are still with me, to count on your support, thank you for your patience and I want to wish you all a happy new year and all your resolutions come true.

Art vs Artist 2024

Before the year ends, here's my artwork of 2024. I'm surprised I even got material for this year's edition. this year was a bit tough for me as I had a lot of obstacles to draw more but I hope for next year I can do more.

Hellaverse: Zoro Casting

While I clean and color the design I did of Loona as Nami, I’m trying to decide between two characters for the role of Zoro: Millie and Striker

Striker can be a good Zoro and if I end up choosing Moxxie as Sanji it would be a good pick, and moxxie backstory contrasts with Sanji when it comes to the relationship both have with their biological parents, but I also think Stricker would be also perfect as Mihawk.

And for Millie is also good for the role but if I pick her for the role I would have to remove one element of whoever I choose as Sanji and I don't want to do that, so I'm in a dilemma

Who do you think is more suitable for the role?

you can also suggest other characters for any roles except Blitzo, I already have the perfect character for him

Hi Everyone, sorry for my long absence. After my last message, I thought my back had improved. Sadly, I was wrong. I still have some issues there, I can only sit for 30 minutes before my back starts hurting, and I didn't have another choice but to stay in bed until I could actually feel better.

Second, my sister and brother-in-law came from Spain to spend the holidays with us and since I haven't seen them for over a year I am taking all the time to spend time with them so that's another reason I've been away.

I promise I will return and resume my activities as soon as possible, thank you for your time reading this.

Here to show everyone all the animation I did for Yokatoon Animation Workshop I took months ago, I still have a lot to learn but I'm sure I can do stunning things if I keep practicing.

Loona as Nami (4/4)

Fizz… Help me…

I did have to draw Loona doing this part as Nami one of my favorite moment of the first Arc.

[ricaudrios]

Loona as Nami (3/4)

For this one, I want it to portray Loona's desire for money (souls) just like Nami has with Berries.

[ricaudrios]

I'm sorry guys for my long absence, I was busy working on a test to be part of an animated project and that required my whole attention, I just finished it and although I want to go back to drawing I need to rest for a week since working on it cause me to hurt my back and hand, so I will use that time to recover.

[ricaudrios]

Day 32nd of my drawing session, I will be busy this week I just have time to do a 45-second gesture drawing, here's the result. I hope to go back to my regular session next week.

Loona as Nami (2/4)

I always wanted to see how Loona would look with short hair and I like what I did here.

[ricaudrios]

Sorry guys I did not do anything new as these past few days I've been busy and even today I'm so tired I don't even have the energy to do something but to compensate I will show you a new WIP.

Verosika - Quick sketch ✏️✨

Remake from a drawing session I did yesterday but as I didn't like the result I turned it into a fanart.

I was planning for a single sketch but I couldn't stop there and I decided to add the color, sorry if the lines are not cleaned
