2022 Art Summary/Retrospective

Share

With 2022 wrapping up it's time for my art summary for 2022!


January - 18 Years of Living

A new year also means I get a year older and for turning 18 I made this drawing. It's great to see my 2 main characters together and while it is basic, it works really well IMO.


February - Spooked out punch

Last year I gave a LOT of attention to Arcade & Spacey and this year was a nice change of pace for the most part with Spooks being my favorite. Again very basic but you could tell I am getting better with anatomy.


March - Not quite the saga we had in mind

Another thing that has become more common this year is fanart. Early in 2022, I got obsessed with Hebreke/Ufouria and this drawing reflected that. Doing the main 4 was fun thanks to their unique anatomy which made for a nice drawing exercise, Overall a proud drawing.


April - Terrible totalitarian

When it comes to making new characters I mostly focused on expanding my current cast but some new ones got made like Totaltron. He is Spacey's main villain and while I only drew him once I plan on doing more with him and he will be important just like Glox. So stick around!


May - No Lines Spacey & Friends

Out of all the years making art, 2022 has been the most experimental, I made 2 new styles and this is the lineless pseudo-3D shaded style akin to Jinners4. Out of the 2 pieces, this was the better one since the shading was better. I should get to expanding the style soon because I like it a lot.


June - Grand Graduation

Like last year, June was sparse for art but I did get 1 picture out and it was the one. This was meant to commemorate my High School graduation and I am proud of it, especially the background which I don't do often. This was the perfect way of graduating High School,


July - Mr. Game but Nintendo accurate (Artfight)

Another new experience this year was joining Artfight for the first time, and I was not expecting it to be so good. I made so many drawings but my favorite has to be this one based on VinculumStellarum and his OC Mr. Game, I like how it looks like no other drawing this year and that is what makes it so good to me because it is so unique.


August - Kart Rally Time!

More first times are here and this is the first collab I was a part of. That collab was OCSuperCircuit2022 an art collab by Famimatsu & MattoonVArtist. I like the perspective here and it makes for a dynamic drawing that I consider great and a very proud one at that.


September - Chromecade mode!

I Drew this while when I won a Pac-Man Noir Chrome Chogokin figure in a Pac-Man sweepstakes and it turned out really nice. I mostly like how dynamic it looks and that is a quality my best drawing have it seems. Other then that, it's not too notable but still nice.


October - Spooky Stealth

Man, I don't give Arcade's cast much attention, do I? Yeah, that is what happens when you are older than the hip and new Spacey cast but this time I gave 2 of them a spin in this drawing and I like how it turned out. Add a screen bug and this could work well as a fake TV screencap. It also seems like I know my perspective well and it shows here,


November - Look for The Gummy Bear Album in stores on November 13th

November was mostly a not-so-special month this year but I did make an epic meme drawing, so that is nice. Yeah you can tell I don't have much to say here.


December - Peppino is free

Now we have the 2nd new style, Pixel Art! I always wanted to do Pixel Art but I didn't do any until now and while most were smaller stuff, this Pepopino one for Pizza Tower getting a release date revealed and a new trailer is a nice piece and while I still feel like I have a lot to learn with Pixel Art, I still feel like that style has a lot of potential for me and it serves as a nice cap for this year


-----


2022 looking back was a year of experimentation, I basically hit my peak of digital drawing (sadly since it is mid) so I branched out so I can expand my skill set and honestly I think it will be hard to beat the raw experimentation of 2022, from new styles to new stuff, 2022 will be memorable to me for how far I branched out. 2023 should continue all of this bigger and better even if I don't experiment as much, but hey, next College Semester I am going to have a Graphic Design Class, so hopefully, I can do more Graphic Design since I love Graphic Design a lot and I want to make it. So that is all I have to say, this year no matter how you feel about it was a fun year, and let's hope next year is just as fun. Anyways bye!
