#i arbitrarily picked a box size to put the art in and seeing how badly these fit is kind of painful

[the-art-of-sanshoku]

The only year of my life where I drew at least one thing every month so I can finally make something like this :> also my first full year on Tumblr! Started this blog about a year and a half ago because I wanted to take art more seriously and honestly it was still a pretty on and off thing for a while but I've been locked in the past few months (gee wonder why). Here's hoping to a productive 2025 🙏

Dont want to flood the tags so I'll just write down what's what and ramble a bit under the cut:

January: Lain Iwakura from Serial Experiments Lain. I remember I wanted to do something that had MS Paint vibes with Lain for some reason lol

February: Iris Wilson, Herlock Sholmes, and Yujin Mikotoba from The Great Ace Attorney. Made this after shortly after finishing the game, what can I say other than Iris is my favorite~

March: Didn't post this to the blog but it was something I made for a friend's DnD campaign

April: Prompto from FFXV, another thing not posted to my blog (I actually had no posts March or April I was very busy with life at the time) the only thing I found on my ipad for this month was a csp file of random sketches so I just cropped one I kinda liked. It was mostly FFXV because I had just beaten the game I think

May: Selvie from Unicorn Overlord, another instance of "I just beat the game wanted to draw some of them". Very happy with how I colored this one, still very fond of this

June: Yuka-chan from Blue Period, made this for pride month so I picked a character I love from a manga I love (read blue period NOW)

July: Jiro from Kamen Rider Kiva. Started getting back into Kamen Rider around June I think with Build and then watched Kiva in July. Seems I didn't do too much artwork in July so have another sketchy piece

August: Takeshi Hongo from Kamen Rider (1971). I actually started watching Kuuga here but a lot of my earlier pieces are uh.... Anyway my favorite thing from this month is this Hongo so I picked that :)

September: Azuma Michinaga from Kamen Rider Geats. The colors are kind of funky but idk I liked this one! Probably my best Geats fanart tbh

October: Godai and Ichijo from Kamen Rider Kuuga. I like this one a lot. I really struggle with drawing cute chibi things and this is one of the few times I felt I succeeded. Also the hands were fun to draw

November: Godai and Ichijo again hehe, this was from a compilation of goichis but I cropped my favorite section of it. I like doing this kind of watercolor-y vibe from time to time, and I felt these came out pretty nicely

December: Ichijo (with Godai offscreen) if you couldn't tell I might like these guys. Still very proud of this one, it has a background! And attempts at composition! POV! I didn't feel like I just slapped a character's face on a photo reference! The colors are kind of nice even. I left behind some very messy linework but it's okay.
