Another year has passed, and with it the opportunity to reflect back on all that has happened. While my growth was not as dramatic as last year, I can still see lots of positive change.

I'll never have enough ways to say thank you for all the love and support you have given me this year. On to 2025!

(2023 summary here!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #art summary #Since last year's independent variable was PD-WWX; this year I used Lan Wangji.#Unfortunately his appearances were not very evenly distributed this year! Lots of LWJ's early in the year #then a dead period in the middle. He is forever my silly rabbit. I love drawing him!#If I have to put a label on this year; I'd describe it as 'experimental'. I pushed myself to do llots of new things!#I drew lots for dungeon meshi and that really boosted my growth. More body types -clothing details - expressions!#Ryoko Kui is a great artist to learn from and It made me realize that I had a lot to gain from doing more studies.#I also started working on a whole new genre of art! While it has taken a backburner spot - I'm working on a game now!#Digital art was my enemy last year but I have been getting a feel for it now.#Goals for this year is to 1) keep working on my personal projects 2) finish PD-MDZS! and 3) practice animation!#I didn't (couldn't) draw as much as I did last year...but I had to take a lesson in humility and taking care of myself.#Drawing is something I do 'for fun' but there were many times it became more stressful than it should.#I'm still learning how to find and maintain balance with everything life throws at me.#We are all works of progress and I am trying very hard to love the process and the journey! I don't really know my destination!#But I will keep taking steps forwards. I never want to be stuck and lost as I once was.#If 2024 was a rough year for you too; We're in this together. Let's keep taking steps together. No matter how small.#Love you all so very much. You've given me strength on the darkest days. Thank you thank you thank you.

– this whole - the dancing, singing, pole...raising. it is all rather ridiculous... 'midsummer'. i fail to... see the point of this human... invention. for once.

arvo's words were slurred, uneven - as if merely letting them past his lips was a great effort... this was, no doubt, influenced by the drink in his hand, resting on his stomach. folke, who had, in fact, brewed the alcohol that they were drinking, giggled - not exactly sober himself.

– i'm... the only human here, arvo. remember...

– no kraksi, or crakam, in sartrill, raises a huge, leafy pole for long summer days, that much i know.

– okay, haha - the pole thing... the pole thing is entirely human, probably. but... gullmar - tomtar, celebrate 'solvarvir' around the same time... trolls celebrate, uh... oh, curses, i'll butcher it... 'rawr - owa'... rawrr - oh wra? rawr... haha!

arvo opened one of his eyes slowly, fighting against some kind of weight that has, somehow, been set upon them - in order to look at the human beside him, still struggling to pronounce the foreign word correctly. a corner of the basilisk's lips twitched upwards.

– hm. nevermind what i said. there is a certain element of entertainment present, i suppose...

#oc #original character #fantasy #midsummer #illustration #art #i would tag midsommar but. i know theres the movie so dont think thatll be very useful...#folklore #fantasy art #oc art #pareidolia tag #oc: folke #oc: arvo #oc: selma #oc: klint #oc: adrian #oc: ylvarg #oc: gullmar #oc: faství #frida and håkan are there too but theyre so small LOL #this is a bit late for a midsummer illustration but whatever #(one day late. LOL)#i kinda wanna mmake it a THing to draw a silly midsummer drawing every year. thing is #will there be a year where im 100% happy with the illustration afterwards. bcs im not satisfied with this but. WHATEVER #shoutout to anyone who remembers the drawing i did last year........#in universe btw some swedish holidays were definitely infuenced by the tomte/human connection #things like midsummer probably came to independently but their traditions got mixed once humans and tomtar began to intermingle a bit #trolls have their own summer celebrations but they tend to be less “1 day” and more like “several weeks” in length #also. this pic is a post story pic...#which is why arvo is actually expressing his befuddlement with human customs

I just can't get over how when Tinky came face to face with Ted the first time, he didn't choose to be in his true form or something similar to it, but instead he showed up in a dirty smelly fursuit 🐐

✨Coordinator Conway All Stars!✨

This is something I wanted to do for the 10th anniversary last year, but unfortunately it was too ambitious on top of all the other things I had planned. However, Coordinator Conway is a concept that I adore so much that I just couldn't forget about it! So here's all my designs for this pseudo-AU where he gets to be a Coordinator and a rival to Dawn. ♥
