I also did MAD commissions in 2022 - this was one of my all-time favourites for the beloved Witchpuppy. We wanted magical girl vibes and we GOT magical girl vibes!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also started to work on my second big collection for merch - the first one was all about heretic vibes, and this one was going to be a huge dark magical girl project that I only really just got started on. 😓 It takes a lot of work to make a whole collection! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I’m finally making #adoptables again! I really love playing around with character designs and experimenting with different art styles, so I’ll be putting all of them in my vgen shop @ various price points from now onwards. 💋 vgen.co/morgul/shop

And some more gifts for friends....I did quite a few emojis in 2022! I kind of struggle to come up with my own but when there's a meme or common emoji format then I can work pretty well with emulating them for new designs. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I reeeeeeally can't share the full picture for my other best-piece of the year; this was the Valentine's 2022 piece where I modelled the pose for myself. The shading on this was some of the best I've ever done and looked really realistic!! I was hitting my groove for sure. #noai #artistsofbluesky

Another side-portrait from January 2022 - I was trying to get some practice in and Vainglory is always a good model. I was pretty proud of this one too, as I really struggle with this angle. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Then we had one of my ALL TIME most-proud illustrations - I was encouraged on a stream to do a pirate-y self portrait and somehow it turned out absolutely incredible? I have this one framed on my wall at home and it reminds me of the kind of work I can produce when I really work at it! #noai

Then we start getting into art from 2022! In January I did a sketchy piece that turned into something more, of my #DungeonWorld character Freya. It's the first time I'd drawn all of her scars in such detail and I loved the lighting I did for this. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

This comic was my favourite because I didn't often (and still don't) draw for myself, and I really pushed myself on the lighting and angles/posing. It was dramatic and romantic and sad, and I still like to go back and read it from time to time. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

One of my last favourite pieces of art from the year comes from a comic I did - my first proper one! - processing a scene from an old tabletop rpg. My character, Geriel, had been asked if she loved anyone - and had to mask the heartache and trauma that brought up for her. #noai #humanartists

And a fanart for my favourite vtuber at the time, Dyarikku 🙏 Kinda wish I could go back and change the pose I picked for this, but it was done with excitement and haste and I got a little bit of fan appreciation for it so I was very happy. 😌#noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also contributed a gift to a charity fundraiser - a cute lil doodle request that ended up being Buttercup from everyone's favourite childhood magical girl show. 😌 Went for a lineless style here, too! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also updated my Vain PNGtuber towards the end of this year! I went more chibi with this version and I was in LOVE with her even just from the first sketch. I really struggle with chibi styles and still don't "have" one, so I still love looking back to this. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

And another little chibi gift it seems I did for the lovely Saff 🩷✨ She taught me how to do those pretty plump stars I've always admired. 🥹 I miss those fun art twitch days a lot!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Bit of a soppy addition that certain algorithms might hate, but I also did a bit of sketching in this year on my feelings about myself and reflections from exploring polyamory! This was a particularly melancholy but also happy piece. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I was also working on improving Vainglory's design, with multiple outfits and more detail on her demon mode I'd recoloured previously. Got big gothic inspiration for phase two. ✨😊 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Revisiting old characters, this was a full body reference I gave to my first ever D&D character (where I met my first partner!), Legume. She is very clumsy but ended up becoming a fully fledged Fighter at the end of her campaign and I'm still very fond of her. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Anatomy and proportions, more complex posing - I still needed a little bit of practice though. This is a cropping of a piece I did for my OC Myrrh and his brother Theilyn! The former is dragging the latter to (go dance? It's been so many years I can't recall). #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

But I was doing other kinds of pinups, too. This is @purapea.bsky.social's gorgeous husband tiefling to my Kirkham (see previous post). I think this was one of the things I was proudest of making that year - the shading, posing and lighting all came together! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists
