In Regards To Your 2024 Summary:

Holy shit it’s been another year????? The hell?????

Also! Your art style is gorgeous and that being found in 2023 and then refined throughout late 2023 and the entirety of 2024 really shows, as does your growth in panel layouts, perspective, and — as you said — experimentation. If you ever post your animation or video game art I’m looking forward to it.

As cheesy as it sounds, being able to laugh at funny comics and look at all the details of your art really made my 2024 brighter, even when things were hard. Including looking at your older art— it doesn’t need to be new to be enjoyable! I’m glad your art is well loved and it’s a privilege to have been here since the (near) beginning. I hope you take care of yourself in 2025 and beyond!

You and your art bring a lot of people a lot of joy never forget that <3

Thank you so much for keeping up with my art journey throughout these last two years! Two years!!! I am baffled at how that feels both too long and too short!

Admittedly, my art summary didn't manage to capture the fact that I did a lot of comic layouts that I'm really proud of. I also drew more backgrounds and made some very detailed works (*Dungeon Meshi spoilers for these examples*).

The growth is lot more evident when comparing my 'best' comics of 2023 to 2024:

Sometimes the growth is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal - and damn, sometimes it goes out of sight into the Z-plane. But it is always happening!

fireworks show 🎆

material preview version is very cute also :)

i struggled with the lighting on this one so badly, but it turned out alright in the end.

i actually started it last year for new years 2023 but never got around to finishing it, hence no progress pictures this time sadly lol. i do have a very low-res, first draft, test gif though

stills 🥳

[cor-lapis]

do you still do art requests?

if so can you draw furina having the time of her life in the Cats Tail, i just KNOW her and diona would get along amazingly

I think that Furina deserves to use her Fontaine taxpayer funded state pension to travel to Mondstadt and have a great time at the cat cafe there (without any fatui harbingers in the vicinity)

equius enjoying human new years traditions. happy joyous horse.

DAY TWENTY TWO

[archerdepartures116]

So uhm, first time asking, just found you through a friend. Would Yue Qingyuan be fine with accepting some gifts? I want to give him some stuff to express my admiration and appreciation for him existing. Anyway, hello to Yue-qianbei, I think you’re really attractive and quite dashing, and I'd totally court you–though everyone knows that isn't possible and you're out of our league and Shen-qianbei (or the others) might hunt me along with your other admirers down hahaha–but I just want to give you a little something instead! *gives flowers, a poem, and some cake*

[Beneath the heavens, your light does shine, A steadfast heart, so pure, divine.

With kindness etched in every glance,

A loyal soul, in life’s vast dance.

Your strength a shield, your words a guide,

A beacon bright where storms collide.

Oh, Yue Qingyuan, my heart does soar,

To know your grace, I could want no more.]

*runs away after giving the gifts*

(Am I a Yue Qingyuan simp? Yes, I am. Is this even considered an ask, lol, I also wanna say, Merry Christmas to you, Archer, hope you have a wonderful day/night! I really love your art, keep up the good work! Also, Happy New Year in advance!)

he's very flattered

[askthenewritoelder]

Happy New Year, everyone. Apologies for the lack of response recently. It’s been busy in Rito Village because of the festivities, but I will do my best to answer all your letters moving forward.

May this year be better than the last!

Thank you for supporting my art journey this year see you in 2025!

[maple-bee]

With there being so little merch of MK fanmade or official it’s nice to see the plushies I hope they succeed cause I’d definitely like to see more of them

Aaah thank you so much!!😭 I didn't really expect these to get much attention - but I'm so glad people are enjoying them 🥺💖

It all depends on specific character interest, but I for sure would love to do more in the future 💜

We're still a few sales away from fully funding - and possibly funding a new sample 👀

Preorders are still open till the 16th!

Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉

ITS 11:22

Now that 2024 is coming to a close:

1) Of everything you've made this year, which ones are you the most proud of?

2) What are a few of your favorite things (art, comics, fics, etc) that someone else has made this past year?

It is always a delight to get asks from you!!

I think for tmnt things, I’m really proud of the Rise Hunger Games AU. It’s sort of the thing that unexpectedly got me a little deeper into the fandom, and because of it I got the chance to make some really good friends and interact with cool people! For all fandom things, I finished a bnha longfic I’d been working on for over five years, so that’s another thing I was really proud of.

Oh my gosh there are too many to name. To name just a few of the many many amazing creators: @heckitall’s comics are stunning and make me feel so many things. His use of shapes and colors is incredibly cool and I just can’t get enough! @beannary’s Little Prince AU is so interesting and the art is so good! Her depiction of the emotional abuse that Big Mama puts Donnie through and the complicated relationships between the siblings due to being raised apart is really painful in the best way. @phoebepheebsphibs has an incredibly adorable art style AND writing style, and her creativity is boundless. Seeing anything from her is such a joy, and her zest for life and creation is an inspiration to me. @boots-with-the-fur-club is another one of those writers who has me in a chokehold. She’s got so many amazingly creative au’s and everything she writes makes me giddy and so excited to find out what comes next. I’ve had the pleasure of collabing on a couple things with her and she is such an absolute sweetheart. I look forward to finding out what she’s got in store next! @psychologicalwarclaire has a master’s degree in angst. Her writing is so amazing, but I am genuinely struggling to get through Spiderweb With Strings Attached because my heart just can’t take the pain!! (This is a huge compliment btw.) Idk how someone so kind and sweet can rip out hearts like she does and do it all with a smile. @dandylovesturtles has a way with words that leaves me reeling every time. There’s such an incredible depth of heart and feeling in everything she writes, the worldbuilding is exquisite, and the way she explores characters’ thoughts and actions drives me crazy every time. it is just. So so so good. i’m sorry there are SO MANY MORE people I want to shout out here but I think a half dozen is enough for now. @iobsesswaytoomuch @purplepixel @starrcrossrose @pinkcottonwood @imagionationstation (and so many more) just know i’m coming for you all next time.

[i-may-be-an-emu]

Hi Emu :3,

in reference to you saying that you don't know how so many people know who you are, when I was just getting into the sfth fandom and I was scrolling through the tags there was a lot of you, also the reaction I had when you followed me back was to immeadiately tell my friend (who cares very little for the sfth fandom) that you had followed me back. Anyways, you're cool

THANK YOU ANON <3333 That’s so nice of you :)) thank you so much

I still have no idea how?? This came about?? Like yay I’ll take it but I don’t know how I’m someone who people say this about :) but thank you 😭😭❤️ like I am honestly just some guy, and I think you’re really cool too, whoever you are

[veevil]

I feel god in this chili's tonight,,, thank you so much for every single person who has supported my art and liked the silly fish AU and shown interest towards it! It has grown to have such a very special place in my heart.

Thank you @nyang-cheng for changing my brainchemistry with this masterpiece of an AU (I'm taking the kids in the divorce.)

[zepskies]

I found your blog a couple of days ago and ever since I‘ve been gobbling up every piece of Dean Winchester stuff you’ve ever written! 😫 Your writing is INCREDIBLE. Just wanted to say that. Thanks for putting your stuff on here so we all get to enjoy it! Hope you have a great day/night and wish you all the best for the upcoming year! ✨

Wow!! 🤩 Thank you so much, lovely! 💖💖

@soluswolf I hope you're having a great day as well! I just came home from my cousin's wedding, so I'm doing great. I'm a sap, so I love weddings. 💗

And I'm very happy that you've found me and are enjoying my stories! That truly means so much to me every time I hear it.

Because yes, I do write for my creative expression, but I do also write hoping that others in similar situations feel heard and seen, not just entertained.

Sorry, I'm a little emotional right now and am about to be effusive and thankful for a bit...

Since we're getting closer to 2024, I've been reflecting. I think I've probably written about 200,000+ words in the past year alone.

It's more than I've had the creative energy to produce in a long time, and that includes the two and a half years in grad school. (Though to be fair, one of those years was 2020 lol.)

But I genuinely don't think I would have written half as much if not for the wonderful support and feedback I've gotten on Tumblr and Ao3.

To all the amazing people I've been able to "meet" and interact with on here (shoutouts below), your kindness and encouragements have helped me — whether you knew it or not — through stress and grief and moments of apathy, and times where I didn't feel passionate about my craft.

I've also had my original book set aside for a while because I literally didn't have the mental strength to be creative. Jumping into Tumblr has revived that passion for me.

I think it's also made me a better writer (practice makes progress, after all). And for sure, it's made me richer in friends. 💕💕

Happy New Year, everyone!!

I'm going cautious but optimistic into 2024. 💫
