And what a year it's been.

Part of me always feels a little guilty that we're not "further" in the comic than where we are now, and that maybe it's going to take me longer than I had hoped to finish this story. But I try not to focus on those doubts too much, because they distract from the wonderful things we've gained over the last year. I can confidently say that the art in Rekindled is the best it's ever been, thanks to the efforts that Banshriek and I have made, both big and small, to make every episode count. And as for the story, well... you all know I've always got exciting stuff up my sleeve , and that isn't changing as we barge headfirst into 2025 ;3

All that said, looking back on the episodes from the past year has really put into perspective that while 2024 came with its own challenges and lows, there are still lots of things to be thankful for, and getting to make this comic is absolutely one of them.

And if getting to the end takes a little longer than I had planned, that's not a bad thing. It's just more time to spend with all of you wonderful people (っ˘▽˘)(˘▽˘)˘▽˘ς)

Not exactly a new year’s resolution, but I desperately want to be able to draw or paint those ripply, fluffy magnificent manes that fancy horses have. Tried it in watercolor before and I’ve tried it here in colored pencil, but I haven’t figured it out yet. I like this guy, but the mane magic is just not there. I think it involves a level of pre-planning and restraint that I struggle with. But I will keep trying. I will, I must. I must learn the secrets of the Fabio mane.

made a whole video about my art goals and I share some tips on how to set goals that actually be achieved based on my experience :)

last year on new year's eve I wrote down this goal for 2024:

"start learning how to draw (basic stuff)".

I didn't expect to learn so much so quickly and looking at my progress now after 8 months makes me emotional.

this year was all about getting started.

2025 is gonna be about getting good.

He's so pretty @thora-sniper !!!! You drew everything so perfect. I love how soft the wings look ❤️ He looks like he took back a book Tech wasn't supposed to have 🤭

Angel Crosshair for the New Year! Inspired loosely by @letshareapapou angel!Tech and demon!Crosshair AU.

Bonus Backgroundless ver because I'm honestly not sure which I like better.

☁️ 2024 Artist Resolutions ☁️

Happy New Year, everyone! 🌻

Just sharing my annual artist resolutions (this is my 3rd year doing this, I think?):

colors & palettes: I would like to try and experiment more with color, including probably (re-)teaching myself color theory (and actually trying to understand it this time lol), working with more mindful color choices like limited palettes and overall trying to use color to make more visually interesting pieces.

video content: I actually really like the process filming and editing little progress/behind-the-scenes videos, but I didn't do much of that at all this year. I'd honestly like to go back to doing some of that again! Also I had a brief stint of streaming art on Twitch around this time a year ago and haven't gone back to it...still on the fence but I may revisit that as well this year.

comics: I've always enjoyed drawing silly little daily life comics and would like to continue with that, but 2023 made me realize how much I also enjoy creating more long-form webtoon and comic book-like pieces as well! I definitely want to explore and expand more upon that in 2024~

composition: I've been very lazy about composition! Going back to wanting to use color to create more visually interesting pieces, I'd also like to focus more on composition to do the same as well.

(soft) freelance: I used to have an online shop that I shut down almost 3 years ago now...I don't know what I feel brave enough to tackle this year in terms of being an independent artist outside of my day job; whether that's commissions, ko-fi/patreon, product design for a shop reopening or tabling at conventions, but I hope I'll figure it out and get over my hesitations about it...soon.

sketching & journaling: I really super-mega-absolutely neglected sketching and journaling for the entirety of 2023 which TRULY HURTS MY JOURNAL-LOVING HEART. I want to try some things to find a new system of sketch-journaling that fits my time and lifestyle better these days so I can incorporate that back into my life.

My previous artist resolutions from 2023 and 2022~

I think I only really got to two goals from my 2023 list; drawing more backgrounds and entering my 'villain era' by drawing more selfishly (though I'll be honest: I didn't expect that to manifest the way it did when I had written it out, but yeah okay, smutty art it is I suppose lmaooo)

We don't talk about 2022 lol.

Hope everyone is having a great start to the new year~ Relax! Rest! Recharge! And may we achieve all (or at least most of) our goals we're hoping to in 2024 💗
