Ending with a fun comparison: the first "finished" fanart I did vs. the most recent.

I was 16 and not even on Twitter for the first. Now I'm nearly 23, living with my partner I met through f@tt, and in the last year of my bfa program.
Sho Salon stands cheerfully. She is wearing a pink headscarf, a blue collared shirt, and a large pink skirt. A watercolor painting of the interior of a train car. The train car looks moderately fancy. A goat woman (Pickman) is sitting in a seat with her back to the window of the train. She looks over her shoulder grumpily while smoking a cigarette. Yellowed landscapes roll past her.

This piece of the first Blackwick Group arc (2021)
The Blackwick Group descends a long stone staircase. Chine is in the front, holding out a lantern. Marn is behind them, feeling along the wall and holding a torch. Virtue stands behind her, holding nothing and looking at Pickman, also holding a torch.

(2021) the first time we meet the Witch in Glass in PARTIZAN
The witch in glass sits upon a black marble throne. A circle of poppies surrounds her. She is in an otherwise empty room with large windows. The ghost of Gur Sevraq hovers at her side, whispering to her.

Another SecSam pairing (2021), plus an earlier illustration that inspired the second
Chine and Duvall sitting on a bed upon the Jade Moon. Duvall has It curled up in his lap and is hesitantly petting it. Chine sits on the edge of the bed and smiles. Chine and Duvall dance on the deck of the Jade Moon. The sky is orange, and green lanterns hang behind them. Chine and Duvall dance together, it happily circling around their feet.

A little late to the part but I though I'd start my own #fattrewind thread! This was from SecSam 2023
An illustration made up of several panels. In the largest panel, Broun hesitantly inspects Valence's opened arm. Other panels depict a ball of light, Broun and Valence reaching for each other, a plume of smoke, Millenium Break files, and a radio. Wires cross over and around all the panels, in one place making the shape of a heart
