From my CARA post here
Waaa ok so I know I’ve only been posting older work here for the time being, but I did want to do an art summary for 2024 since (where I live) it’s currently New Year’s Eve! π
I am insanely shocked, I honestly thought I had months where I drew nothing, which is kind of true, but I’ve also been working in VRoid Studio to make new 3D models for the OGIENOIDs, so, in a sense, yeah, for the first time in years, I have made some form of artwork every month! Are you kidding!!!! Wowowow! I never thought I’d get out of my burnout, honestly. I can’t believe I did.
So yeah let’s go over the months, since Cara is kind enough to let us have 5,000 characters π
Jan: Started off with a brand new project, dipping my toes into Vroid Studio, Blender, and MMD for the first time in years. I always wanted to make my own models, but going from full time school+work to working full time, trying to write a book, and other stuff has limited where I can/am willing to put my spoons. VRoid Studio has been my savior in that. There are some things it definitely can’t do, but that’s where I’ve used Blender to help π I’m very excited to show more off next year.
Feb: A slow month for art, admittedly, but a busy time for my personal life. I only really got doodles in during D&D sessions. This is a bit of a sloppy sketch of my Trickster Domain Cleric, Elci, in an alternate outfit.
Mar: Ohhhh my sweet baby angelβ¦ My little pookie pie. This is where my art started picking back up! I started focusing on developing my OCs from my story, GodSeed more heavily around this time, and guys I can’t resists drawing my OC Senkaβ¦β¦β¦. I love him. He is who I have the most fun with playing with expressions and practicing facial features. He’s such a little shit, but he’s my little shit. I’m excited to share more at a later date.
Apr: I fell off again here a bit, so it’s really just another sketch, but this is another character from GodSeed, Sylvia. For lack of better description until my world building is a bit more concrete, she’s basically a kitsune with a very closed-off personality. Girl’s had it rough.
May: Yay more models! I focused on DIONE OG05 in May, using VRoid’s bodysuit to achieve a plus sized figure. I did have to go into Blender to shape her body further to get things a bit more accurate, but I was surprised how close I was able to get just in VRoid π
Jun: A module concept for AXIS OG06 for Unknown Mother Goose. Not released because I just never think to post anything smh. I’m working on a model for this design rn as well!
Jul: Ok listen I saw a pose reference on Pinterest and Senka’s my “oooh let’s practice this cool thing” OCβ¦ I just think he’s pretty, ok? I think this is the only art piece I really did for a bit between models, but I tested out my new HUION screen tablet for this! Previously I’d only been using it for model texturing, but gave it a go for a doodle.
Aug: Took more breaks from art to finish up work on models, namely one of HONOS 0G4 π
Sep: β¦..Remember when I said I can’t stop drawing Senka? Practicing male anatomy here and uh. Well. He’s fun to practice with lol.
Oct: I tried and failed to do drawtober! Surprise surprise! Only one finished piece made it out from the first day. I did a fantasytober prompt list, the first entry was “Scars”. Laelia, my MC for GodSeed, has quite a lot, most noticeably the ones on her legs. I decided to use this entry as a means to study her shadow-woven scars.
Nov: Hello I am the president of an ancient Vocaloid rarepair, Lily/Kaito. I own both of their V3s and still have yet to do any kind of covers? A travesty. November was enabling the brainworm. I’ll try to do more for them in the coming years.
Dec: I started getting into character designs again in the last couple months, focusing on giving GodSeed characters some love and revamps. Most were designed around 2013/2015, and I just wasn’t satisfied, so I’ve been working slowly on those π This one is for my OC Ornata
But yes! Art! I did art! And I look forward to more art and writing in 2025 π
I’ll keep plugging away at uploading old stuff here in the meantime. When you see these pieces come up later on, you’ll know it’s time~
