posting here for old times sake, even though there's no arpg stuff on the chart
still not consistently posting anywhere, but I like doing these. they're fun
there's a lot of things i would've liked to include but had to exclude, due to not being shareable on this account. maybe i'll have more stuff next year!

JANUARY
silly lizard oc
i generally dont do much single line hatching, so it was nice to fiddle with it this time

FEBRUARY
the wittle scrunkly lizard
last time i drew this one, they were an lps shitpost, so its nice to like draw them normally lol

MARCH
herman is running out of time
glasses axolotl but make him neon idk

APRIL
fancy calico
i honestly dont know whats up with the clothes, i just kinda drew whatever tbh

MAY
yippie!!
toontown oc! was playing ttcc w/shard and co, this is the character i ended up making
i also got covid around april-march iirc so i was feeling horrid for a while (and the remaining symptoms didnt clear up till like june)

JUNE
an oc i got years ago but didnt have the confidence to draw for a while lmao
anyways i like her colors and shape, she's fun

JULY
mandatory artfight posting
this was one of the last ones i did! ocs belong to pookapooka and they were so fun to paint

idk if ill be doing artfight again tbh. ive been doing it consistently since sun vs moon but its honestly felt less fun ever since the tiktok invasion`and how ppls behavior has changed, and especially since the whole ownership thing that happened mid fight this year. (not interested in any of the alternatives ive seen either bc they have the same issues, notably worse issues, or are not furry friendly)
but tbh that might just be me being disenchanted with online art spaces due to the intensifying shittification of basically everything, fucking rip

AUGUST
ring but hes going to jail (again but for real this time)
the staxie monthly prompt was barbie mugshots but i . . . i did this with ring and lumos and promptly forgor to do this with cakes and ale like i was planning to lmfao
im actually gonna watch the barbie movie tonight, renting it so i can watch it on the big tv (didnt watch in theaters bc expensive (movie tickets are generally 15-25 bucks in my area (compared to the 5-10 in my aunt's area (renting is cheaper per person)), and they changed the chairs to these weird uncomfy pleather recliners that make my skin crawl to "justify the price raise" + i hate sitting for more than an hour i need water, bathroom, stretch, and snack breaks))

SEPTEMBER
ganache went over the hedge
was very busy w/projects so i did little casual art
this was inspired by me comparing the over the hedge version of supermarket by ben folds (upbeat & high energy) vs the one by the clash (melancholy + commercial-induced agony)
ever since then i cant stop thinking abt how much the lemon demon guy's voice sounds like the fucking clash guy sdjkhfkjsd
also over the hedge was one of my favorite movies as a kid and i watched it at least 10 times before we had to return the dvd to netflix. i also regularly played the flash games on the site until i forgot about it after finding out about miniclip + notdoppler from other kids and decided to use those for flash games instead bc more options lol

OCTOBER
dta img for a new oc i got, funny long neck budgie thingy
busy w/projects again so little casual art
had to use old mini tablet bc previous tablet was completely unusable fucking rip

NOVEMBER
ganache + cactus pony, they want to know if you have any bubblegum. do you?
busy w/projects again so little casual art
doodle i made in heavypaint (one of the old layerless versions, i bought a lisence for it a while ago.)
i got a new tablet on black friday since the mini tablet was horrible + my broken tablet was making me work very slow

DECEMBER
ring in the void (this is lore accurate)
or as nic put it, "fucked up twilight sparkle" lol
busy w/projects + gifts so little casual art
i actually sketched this w/the mini tablet, but didnt finish it up till getting the new tablet

i would've put amogus whisper on the chart but decided against it since im not done with that one yet lmao
