A Decade in Art: 2009 - 2019

2009 Best Work: Different Story, Same Girl, a Sailor Moon fanwork.

2009 Process

Traditional everything, then scan into Photoshop 7 (I think), get rid of the white BG, use filters to attempt to make the art look digital, dodge and burn like a madwoman, add a stock BG, edit the hell out of it, and finally make everything glow to hide the white garbage edges everywhere. ;3;

2009 Saw...

- My move to actual digital media

--- Starting with the pen tool in GIMP

- All Sailor Moon art

- Stock BG abuse

- GLOW GLOW GLOW

- Overkill on various unreadable fonts

- ONLY Female art; no concept of anatomy

- Adding my name to everything

2019 Favorite Work: Seki x Helmi (Pakkeli CS and OCs belong to @Crystalomic )

2019 Process

Traditional and Digital artworks, use of a pen and tablet (Wacom Cintiq 13HD), better materials (digital: Photoshop CS 6 and Paint Shop Pro edition; traditional: cardstock and sketchbooks, decent grade color pencils), lacking filters, dodge, and burn, and clean lineart!

2019 Saw...

- A solid move into ACEOs/traditional media

- Improvement in anatomy, posing, and color theory

- Very simple BGs (many very similar)

- MEN MEN MEN: I started drawing guys!

- KIDS KIDS KIDS: Babies and toddlers anyone? :3

- A dabbling in anthro/furry art

- A curiosity of body shapes/muscles which saw the creation of @AmbrivanSociety

- Better/more professional font usage...

- Watermark/Signature finessing!!

2020, what's next?

I really want to improve my backgrounds (or maybe just have some lol), nail down anatomy a little bit better especially with difficult or awkward poses, and work on improving and speeding up coloring and my coloring technique. Not to overdo things, but I want more detail to come out of my lineart as well...
