Description

_{It's that month of the year again !! Where i gather old art and cry and how crap i was or how much I've improved wehh
Original blank template can be found on Pixiv

Jan: Joined an RP group on Tumblr called GDA and probably was the busiest/had the most fun (and i got married to azu//sits in her closet forever).
Made tons of new frens and since it was an RP blog it forced me to draw everyday and as quickly as i could, which was really good experience since
I'm probably the laziest artist _( :3. My colouring seemed a lot more shiny (?)

Feb: still all over GDA and played around with one layering again. Tried various colouring styles though i don't think i've uploaded those roughs/wips ;;

Mar: Probably drew the most in March??? Also the time i desperately wanted BnS and loved the art style/colouring of official artworks
and in a way tried to colour in a similar way, though it seemed to lack depth and seemed a bit dull. Once again more GDA fun with new AU's
popping out everywhere and trying to be active in a lot of them ;;. Also made my first Couple OC with Nanchi ^q^

Apr: HAIKYUU COUNTDOWN HYPE just everywhere ww. Art Trades, birthdays, more couple OC's with the bootiful Azu.
I think I tried a more clean(?) colouring style but trying to maintain that 3D colouring on anime style (??)

May: KageHina week hands down. Was probably more demanding than GDA since i had to try and draw everyday in a limited amount of time.
Experimented with more different art styles, one layering again as NGE 3.33 pierced through my heart once again with it's spear of Longinus
Getting down basic character designs for HM Project, an original story project I'm working on with a friend.

Jun: HAIKYUU AIRING HYPE end of story. I've waiting since the manga for this anime and gosh they blasted through my expectations with even better quality
anime and nailing those key scenes + small treasure scenes. As for my art, I can't say I drew as much in this month ? just a few doodles here and there but
nothing major and it was probably because I was busy playing FFXIV + made a twitter acc

Jul: Free! Eternal Summer hype, more FFXIV, creating more OC designs and stories specifically Aki's. I got this sudden need for Edo themed OCs and my
friend (gladly) helped expand on it (a little too much). Tried a more mellow colouring style, water colour texture and bright colours, clearer lines and more
attention to detail and shading.

Aug: SMASHcon hype, trying make business cards in time even though i did not have a booth this year (hopefully next year ^q^) and exams right around the corner
(Literally 2 days after), New animes, spending money at con. But also managed to draw quite a bit this month despite being busy;;
Tried a softer colouring style + Gaussian blur on lineart i think and then tried a more simple, Korean/webtoon-like style with clear lines and simple shading + gradient + texture.

Sep: Didn't draw as much this month (small art block) and played more FFXIV, doodled more than drawing but did try a new style again that i liked,
attention to shading and volume/depth more + Chibis

Oct: FINALSFINALSHSCEXAM busy month as my finals were near. Managed to buy Clip Studio Paint Pro and had more doodles and wips than complete works.
Spent more time experimenting/trying to replicate custom SAI brushes and getting used to the program.

Nov: Twitter doodles and rakugakis. Creating more OCs and developing my style further by combining past styles. Got the BnS JP starter pack as an early xmas present and was playing nonstop

Dec: Starting/finishing character designs and reference sheets (after stalling for a couple of months//coughs) Tried to put more depth into shading

And that's all for 2014!! It was a busy year with me graduating high school and being active on an RP group/tumblr event and that I was on an emotional rollercoaster
All I can say for my art was that the level of inconsistency was over 9000 and I still have so much I need to improve on looking at some of my past art makes me eyes hurt //the horror
But I do think I've improved a lot compared to last year or even just the beginning of this year.

I think the direction I want to take my art is towards a more Game art-like style, specifically Korean game art and JRPGs, my largest inspirations were Kim Hyung-Tae, Kkuem, Nawol, Yagi, Holdeen and Nardack (all Korean illustrators/concept artists) and Nomura Tetsuya

I hope that next year will be even better than this year, and I'll try my hardest to get even better at drawing where I'll be able to settle for a main art style that I'll be happy with. Hope to see you all next year and have a wonderful Christmas!!}
