The Evolution of Vaati! 2019, 2021 aaand 2023!!!

Istg my portrayal of him always differs so much each time, hes literally growing together with me at this point :D

Fun fact: He was a grumpy edgy mean butthole when I started drawing him in 2013. Now he’s an expressive gremlin. Though I definitely want to mix more elegance into my portrayal of him without losing the iconic personality that my gremlin style has given him.

Heyyy Happy Pride ! This art piece is sort of a redraw and a pride-celebratory piece at the same time :D

The old art:

This piece is from 2022, my art changed so much in 2 years, wow.

And yes, my oc Ares is trans! To this day she remains one of my favorite characters, she's always so much fun to draw.

Ok I can admit to myself that there was some improvements here and there in 10 years heehee

Much to @viola0u0 on twitter for the template!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled queue to look at an art improvement meme Except I always put 10x the effort into these than I need to so it's a MESS

Some stuff here never got posted, so think of it as a sneak peak into the past

It's real hard to be objective with my art. I can clearly see improvement with art from 2017 (not showcased) to now, but comparing 2019 and onward it all kinda warbles together. Some are obviously not as good, but others less so.

Generally, overall, at least I think I'm getting better!

Gonna sparse tag this cause I am not tagging everything

Art improvement meme from Twitter!

I think we’re all too hard on ourselves and our old art. It’s important to recognize that you are always growing and developing as an artist and sometimes you gotta admit you kinda cooked 7 years ago!

Gnaws on my enclosure bars...

2023 was a disaster of a year for me for art and I just... I hope 2024 is a year of healing, rediscovery and growth. I have a mindset to get better and return to the root of just.. doing art for enjoyment so I hope that stays.

I went through a really gross friendship-breakup last December and the disappointment from that binded to all the trauma Hannibal went through this year, and I just feel like I never fully recovered from the blur that was the first quarter of the year.

I was trying to push through a lot of art block in the front half of the year and I think I finally let myself crash in October. I started really strong and kept it through July I think. In August I was doing art for ME and the like FIVE MIKEY FANS LOL and just kinda having CLASSIC Kat art fun?? And with making Lucien in May... and seeing in September just how much I wasn't pushing myself anymore... I started trying to when making Xig posts but... I lost steam pretty hard because engagement and such...

In November I was struggling because I was needing to finish up a sketchbook and, I never wanna use a sketchbook LESS than when I have one or two pages left...

December though... that doodle will post eventually but I... feel like with the art studies and the stupid Lokius AU and shit like idk. I feel like I'm gonna find my way back to liking my art again. Feeling satisfied and happy with my art... I wasn't unhappy with my art in 2021 or 2022. I've just been through a lot this year.

So here's to 2024 being better and more gracious with my mental and physical health!! Here's to new projects!! Here's to just...a happier year I hope!!

Happy New Year! 2023 had a lot of positive upheavals for me, which are all good things, but meant, art-wise, some months I drew more than usual, and some other months I didn't draw at all. However, I still wanted to fill-in this end-of-the-year meme, so I fudged the dates a bit to not have gaps. Because this is supposed to be motivational, not punitive! I also added bonus row for some other drawings I didn't want to leave out, because I say so. :P
