2023 YEAR IN REVIEW!!!

My artstyle changed a lot this year, especially after my shift from ibis paint to procreate after getting my iPad (drawing on an iPad is the BEST btw 100% recommend I love it way more than a phone and it didn’t die after a month like my old wacom 💀💀). I’m relatively happy with where my art is atm and I hope to continue to improve in 2024!

Explanation of all the silly art down below! (Mostly so I can tell y’all who the fanart is for but also cause I like rambling)

January: A drawing of my Rise Leo human design I did to test out a pixel brush I found for Ibis Paint. He’s very fun to draw hehe I need to draw him more-

February: I wanted to learn how to draw the future designs of Leo and Mikey along with CJ so I planned to draw them all together! I struggled with Leo though so I just got rid of him. Sorry Peepaw 😞😞💔💔💔

March: Fanart for @beannary ‘s TLP au! I love it so much so I had to draw smth for it hehe 😈😈💥💥💥 which reminds me I need to draw more at some point- might redraw it at some point cause I’m not super happy with how it turned out but I do like the idea a lot

April: The month I created Reticent! April’s Fools was the first episode I came up with so I drew a chapter poster! It ended up being very different to the chapter cover I drew a couple months later but it’s still cool :D Leo is being weirdly affectionate to Mikey though what the heck that isn’t like him smh. Although I guess it was meant to be purposefully exaggerated sooooo 🥰

May: Reticent Casey!!! I don’t have much to say it’s just Reticent Casey HDKSGXKSHD this wasnt a very good art month

June: Krangified Donnie is literally my favourite concept ever thats it that’s all I have to say dbskdbwkh I adore Krangified Donnie and if the Rise brainrot takes over the Reticent brainrot for a while then I will probably be drawing Krangified Donnie during that time sorry not sorry

July: Reticent Chapter 3’s cover yippee!!! Still my favourite Reticent cover although Chapter 8’s is a close second (I can’t wait to post it once it’s been betaread yippee!!!). The scribble over Leo’s eyes is literally just because I was struggling to draw his eyes and i was getting annoyed dbskdbskdb it’s actually a very common issue with him (common Ret!Leo L). Also Mikey being reflected in the mirror is a reference to Mirror Man by Jack Stauber which I’ve basically considered his theme song since @aaronymous999 introduced it to me ebwjcbkwhd thank you Mr. Aaronymous! Also somebody said he was in the barbie box and I still need to draw that to this day because Mikey would’ve killed to go see Barbie.

August: RET DONNIE WOOOOO he’s being bullied again!!! I drew that piece for a colour palette challenge request and realised I got the prompt wrong so I just made it into its own thing 💥💥💥 it’s usually a flickering light gif but I chose to just use the version with the light on for this post. The photos in the background were really fun to draw hehe either April’s or Mikey’s is my favourite.

September: MY 500 FOLLOWER DTIYS YIPPEE (/my 150 follower DTIYS for tumblr). This one took me. Forever to draw and I love it to pieces hehe it was really fun to design Mikey’s room and figure out outfits for the sillies and idk the concept of a sleepover just seemed really fun to me dbskbdkdb- and all the entries I got were so so awesome I loved them all to pieces!!! I still look at them all the time hehe

October: FANART OF @endlesslogo ‘S HUMAN RISE LEO DESIGN WOOOOOO!!! This was the piece I started rendering on hehe it was so much fun to draw!!!! Although I did have a fight with rendering the hair for over an hour svsjegksbdk HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT FR!!!

November: Me and my friends were working on a crossover between our TMNT iterations so I drew all of our Karai’s together!!! Confluence Karai is on the left, created by Salem and Marine, New Stars Karai is in the middle created by Starla, and Reticent Karai is on the right created by me! All our Karais have such cool designs AHHHHH literally dead over them constantly/pos

December: Most of December I spent drawing Christmas presents so this was my present for Salem!!! Confluence!Jonatello my beloved….

Hi hi darling 🤧 How have you been ?!

MY GOSH the Slc updates 😭😭😭

Y/n is quite crafty, asking around with some general questions to find out who candy is... I started internally screaming 😀 Of course she’d ask Seungmin first that’s the prime suspect buttttttttttttttt no luck of course 😏 AND THEN HAN 😭 She just went in like “YoU LiKe TwIx BaRs??” I died a little, ONLY FOR HIM TO MENTION HYUNJIN !!!! 👀

Y/n’s getting close and bestie I’m soooooo excited 👁👄👁

When she goes to the gk and HYUNJIN is there 💥🫀💥 Ouuuuuu Hyunjin is not gonna be happy I feel, but maybe he’ll start connecting some dots, although there are fewer for him to connect that Y/n, who has a good bit of speculations and straight facts to go by 🥴 djsKsbannsdjens what if he messages chocolate and OOP- she’s right there my dude what a coincidence😱

And I gotta say Han giving Hyunjin the ticket ?!? 🥺🤧 So precious, and the event is for Hyunjin’s mom ?!?!?! I gasped when I read that a chapter or two ago, I’m extremely interested and can’t wait to find out all the details!

On another note, last chapter............ Hyunjin and naeyon (??) (I am extremely sorry if her name is misspelled 😭) He mentioned “getting her doors fixed”, but they aren’t broken to her knowledge? 👀 Someone locked them in that room together and why do I have a feeling it was ???Han??????? He was the one to “get them out” plus he asked Y/n to go upstairs to get Jake In OnE oF tHe RoOmS so he knew she’d be up there and what if he saw her go in with Hyunjin ?????? He’s been so persistent with Hyunjin about Y/n and their personal conflict, AND here he is, in the last update, just giving his ticket to Hyunjin when he asked Y/n to be his date 😐 I don’t know if he’s trying to play matchmaker or if he has more sinister, ulterior motives but I’m keeping an eye on him 🤨 Or it could have been ✨Felix✨ that locked them in together cause he loves their feud for some reason....

FELIX WAS HIRED ......... I’m DEAD. WHO ??? WHO HIRED HIM WHAKAJRKSNDBENSKN WHAT. And Hyunjin is finally picking up on the strangeness thank god 🥺 But I’m also taking into account the post you made of scratched versions from certain story points and 👀 Felix AND Han we not gonna be part of the story at all👀 That got me thinking perhaps it’s because they are in cahoots ?!?!?

Okay I’m gonna go before I write a ten page essay 😳 So sorry this was so long but my mind is truly reeling 🥴 Thank you so much for all the updates you’ve put up👏🏼👏🏼😭 I’m so invested and I’m always patiently waiting for more ❣️

#teamhyunjin👁👄👁

i'm good! hope you're well too~ ♥️ can't wait to read all of your thoughts once more 🤧

JHSAHSHSS i think y/n's questions were anything but "general" she really just went straight in for the kill. as of right now, so many boxes are getting crossed off of her list and it really only comes down to one suspect: hyunjin. which y'know, it'll be up to her whether or not she'll be in denial about it or not.

THE ART EXHIBIT "DATE" that's gonna be so interesting as well 🙈. but yeah, unfortunately for hyunjin, he doesn't even have a single clue as to who his choco might be :((( y/n beat him to it.

han did smth nice, but i feel like hyunjin might not like it if he realizes that it may have been out of "pity" ���💔. also about the mom thing, the exhibit isn't really "for" his mom, more like, he has memories about the exhibit connected to his mom ifykwim. so by going to the exhibit, he kinda reminisces on those memories. i'll def expand more on this on d-day of the exhibit~

yes it was indeed implied that they were locked in— the thing is that, y/n wasn't supposed to be there. it might've just been pure coincidence that she got locked into that room with hyunjin simply because she got the wrong room for jake. which meant that hyunjin was the sole target 🐣✨. and i feel like han simply wanted to go on a date with y/n but ended up getting his empathy for his friend win over in the end 🤧💔, i doubt han is purposefully playing matchmaker.

felix is probably a mercenary atp 💀, he gets hired by anyone and everyone. maybe hyunjin should just hire him as well, can't beat the players then join the game. he's picking up on the strangeness but after the recent update, he might dial back on it a little bit because of nayeon~

JSHWJSHS the scratched versions. yes, felix and han weren't supposed to be in the fic. for han, his "character" trope and role was supposed to be taken by someone else, and by this, i meant the "cute boy-next-door nice guy who likes y/n" role. this was supposed to be jake, but i scratched that bit for him because it made more sense that jake and y/n's relationship would border into sibling territory because of how wonpil raised them. but i really wanted a nice sweetheart in the fic and also to balance hyunjin's friend group so i added jisung into the mix (was supposed to be chan but then he'd be too overpowering). so it was more like "han jisung" as a face wasn't supposed to be there, but his character had been planned from the start. chan and minho were my other top contenders to take the sweetie role.

felix on the other hand, i really had no plan, even for some other person, i didn't go like "i want a mysterious guy"—i just ended up wanting another scummy character that's more morally unguided in contrast to seungmin (who does illegal stuff but still has his head straight). just the ultimate trump card. the "art thief" arc wasn't actually planned and was more of an 'in the moment' addition so when i initially wrote that bit, felix's partner was still an undecided character~ 🥸

and pls 🙈 i love reading thoughts no matter how long. it also helps me to talk about them just in case i need to clarify or correct some misunderstood bits~ thanks for sending in an ask! ♥️
