First art of the year is this page of Kirbie's that I doodled, then painted with the Himi Gouache.
And that's the final art summary of the year.
The year certainly took an interesting turn art wise compared to what I expected.
Taking up animation and working alot with traditional painting weren't what I had initially expected.

I am finally! Able to show these.
This was my Christmas present to wifey, her favourite mario characters being the Boo ghosts.
So I hand made her polymer clay figures of a Boo Ghost and her Chain Chompy Bois.
I tried to buy the chains, but gave up and made those by hand as well.

Finished this piece for Sage/Dargon.
Really pleased with how this turned out, having to take some time to study different techniques to get it looking just right.
I'm honstely way behind on my work practicing backgrounds, but I find at least taking my time with them and putting effort in works well.

Sunday morning art warm up with Acrylic painting in my sketchbook.
I used Archival Ink brush pens for the final line work and I'm a convert, they go over the paint so smoothly. I've been struggling with doing black lines in acrylics all year.

And another of my Wing Flap animations for Nelly.
I really like doing these, and this would also be the third time I have tweaked this animation while working on it to improve the animation.
I have a really bad habit of doing this, taking older animations and constantly improving them.

Wifey's Mynnie returns, this time as Big Chonkus.
This is a sticker to go on the front of her new beefy laptop which is a big heavy boi. I took majority inspiration from the Final Fantasy classic Fat Chocobo.

Continuing my goal to make more emotes for myself I got this pair finished. Replacing my very old peek emote that looked so wonky.

I loved doing this winter emote for the Emote Club.
It just looks so cosy and I got them all done in the first week of December so they had plenty of time to use it over the next few months.

As I have now caught up in my art summaries, I can now just post regular art updates and summaries at the end of each month.

One oddity of this year is that I was so busy with commissions I hadn't done any new art of my OC's.
So I've been taking the time to update all my old emotes.
I had been using @stupidshepherd.bsky.social blep base for years and finally took the time to reimagine it in my artstyle.

In November the Emote Club requested a partner emote to the collar one I did in May. They wanted somebody holding the other end of the leash, kind of kicking myself I didn't plan the leash in advance.
The leashes don't quite line up, so I have to go back and redo the collar emotes at some point.

I mostly focused on completing the emotes for the club in November. I distracted myself more with making decorations for my friends wedding.

November would be a very sparse month of art for me, because two weeks after the passing of Toastie Bun. Her bonded partner Cinnamon Bun also passed away.
He was our first rabbit and we know no other bun could replace him for us or our last rabbit Sweetie Bun.

While I was struggling with drawing through the grief my good friend Lilac did this beautiful painting of Toastie as a Jackalope for me.
Her art does not get enough love with what wonderful work she does.

The end of November hit very hard for our family.
We had house rabbits, a trio of bonded rabbits who were sweet and full of character. One evening Toastie Bun fell ill, I was caring for her, on the phone to the vets getting advice when she died in my arms.
I have this sketch of her done halfway.

This emote caused a lot of mirth between me and Klicki. The bug eyed version was my first attempt, I sent it as a joke before the final version, and Klicki loved it and requested I complete both.

I'm a sucker for a good OC design.
I'd made this sketch as warm up for @icyeclipse.bsky.social while I was working on her animation. I ended up flicking back through my sketchbook for something to draw digitally and saw the sketch. Sometimes drawings can't remain sketches, they have to be finished.

I was glad Vinum gave me the prompt to do a more full body sticker design.

He said he trusted me.

This very quick sketch page I made for Wifey in regards to her benign brain tumour.
Kind of caught off guard this year when she got the diagnosis while getting scans for something else.
Wifey as always took it in her stride, and wanted the tumour represented as this dumb bunny slug.

And I got to play even more with Gold effects with Vinum who requested this lovely pair of emotes.
I love doing gold effect, you can add so much highlight to a character with those details.
