Is there a piece of art (or a pile of art!) that you made this year that you're really proud of? I want to see it! Lets spread some good vibes since this year is wrapping up! I'll get us started! I'm really proud of this one I made for the recent Dinosaur Attack Collab here on NG!

And here are a few other's I'm proud of too!

No matter what your skill level, there's ALWAYS something to feel proud of! We're always learning and always getting better, so don't be afraid to hype yourself up for how far you've come! Let's ring in 2024 with some positivity! (Or not, I can't really tell you what to do lol)

This one

No need to explain

Of everything I've made this year, I'd have to say I'm most proud of this comic:

It was the result of nearly two months of work, everything from writing a script and making rough drafts, through sketching, inking and coloring, all the way to preparing it for posting. All of these stages had to be planned around my working hours, and it wasn't always easy sticking to the schedule I laid out for myself. But in the end I finished it, and that's what matters most to me, considering I have a bad habit of abandoning projects. Yeah, it could have turned out better, but that's beside the point. It's better for it to exist as the imperfect thing it is than to always remain as some platonic ideal in my head.

I'm also really happy with this piece:

This illustration just came out of me, a reflection of how I was feeling at the time. It's raw and it's honest, and I love it to bits for it.

Looking through my stuff this year, I'd say I like the 3d stuff I made the most out of everything else.

I also did a couple more character designs that I think might be some of my favorite ones yet.

My personal faves (in publication order):

Sun's Out, Guns Out

Brought Ray back to his Flash roots. And made a couple of Wingdings shit themselves. Also love the grungy framing and overall composition.

Share a Coke With...

This piece I made for Clock Day 2023. It was my first time drawing/constructing full-body characters at angles and I don't think it was too shabby. Also I had a lot of fun creating the background and environment, even if it's just a simple hilly landscape.

Starry Night

One of my two entries for my own South Park Collab. I just think it's sooooo magical:

20 Years of Ray

My commemmoration of the 20th anniversary of Ray - Part 1. Just the fact that I got to commemmorate such a huge influence.

Key Lime Pie

I thought this came out soooooo well, and I think the blurred background frames it nicely. This piece has a lot of techniques like opacities and blur effects working hard.

Affirmation

My entry for the upcoming Revive the 2000s Collab. Constructing and shading the castle wasn't a great deal of fun, but putting everything together and being able to emulate the digital art style of that decade was.

Even with their oversights...

Is the grass growing on his shoes?

That dark line across the can is a shadow that's meant to be underneath it.

...I still love these pieces.

My favorites always are different what others like from me, but this :

Part of that as of 'why' is explained on the image post. It is not best doodle I did, it is however my favorite.

I did a lot this year; perhaps more than I ever have in one year before. Out of the 170+ illustrations I've done, so far, these ten are my favourites (slight NSFW warning):

I feel like I've come a long way since last year, but I still have a long way to go.

I started my art journy in 2023 and i woud say i have improoved. There is of course bad i dont reely like stuff and shit but thats ineveneteble when you are a new artist. So it makes sense that out of the artworks i made, my favourite artworks are the one i made later in the year.

This the artfight art im the most proud of (the first drawing).

My favourite batch of OC-Plaza stuff.

I did the October chalange and i compiled them into a singular big upload. I am reely proud of the result. Im happy that i managed to finish it. I shoud uploaded them sepperatly but whats done is done lol.

This one by far, and I also made it surpsrisingly quick (less than a week).

There are a few others that I also feel quite proud of, but this one takes the crown by all of the characters and detail and rendering that I made for it.

Overall a great year for my art and this piece is the epidome of that.

I have some art that I'm proud of!

These two.

This art I did here is just perfect 😤👌

Everything about it works, I didn’t have any trouble with it, everything fell into place and it’s GORGEOUS!…To me anyway lol

This is my most recent artwork, and I see it as a showcase of all the things I’ve learned this year. My colours, line art and shading have improved a lot, and I can safely say I’ve finally found an art style I enjoy.

Three days, it took to make this, but I like how it came out

I like this one and this

I wish I could have made more in terms of drawing, but between the 3 pictures this is my favorite

I am the most proud of this one.

other than that, here's some that I am kinda proud of I guess.

Basically, most of the art I made after I switched from pixelart to more 'traditional' digital art. But these are the standouts, in my opinion.

akchfnslcnsocnajgkhjgkg

These two pieces of my art would absolutely have to be my favorites as a character designer.

I dont wanna be boastful, but i really do think these pieces show to me a genuine major improvement on character designing.

Most of my favorite things this year aren't really "gallery" stuff

but I do also have some that fit that.

then there's my 31 day collage throughout the month of October:

I'm proud of a lot of works I made this year, because I really improved my art skills during it, but I'm really proud of these three

This one was my first actual attempt at painting a person, and I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. I'm not that much of a realist, but I really nailed this one

Im proud of how I got the colors down. At that point I hated coloring alot, but this piece really made me confident to actually start doing it, and now I love doing it.

I jus like how this one looks lol

proud of all these!

dude these kick major ass

I love your style and the palettes you use. feels like autumn and that one mushroom level in kirby's epic yarn

Here are a few of my least crappy ones from 2023...

So far these ones

Oh yeah, a lot actually.

This one is an old design. But the light and effects were neat.

Those ones were kinda okey, but man, i kinda nailed somehow the Y2K on the first one. Also MINDCHAMBER, YES THE MINDCHAMBER commented in those ones!

"We're back with Lifestyles with Robotnik's PINGAS, i'm pleased to introduce my next guest! Ladies and gentleman: King Dedede!"

You say Tomater, i say Tomatermorts

A celebration for the 100's

"Nothing compares!"

Not that proud but also very proud, idk how to feel about this lol

Slow art year for me, but I got some out that I liked:

for this year? probably these two...

I am particularly fond of these.

Probably these
