2025 art summary!it's that time of the year again!! art summary time :D and year recap i guess
well... i won't get into all the bad things that happened this year, i think i've talked about that enough lol. long story short- 2025 definitely wasn't my year. but that's okey! not all years can be good, and hey, at least no one died. they just scared me :')
art wise... i guess i have mixed feelings? i wanted to do soooo many things. merchandise, a portfolio, open comissions, find a job. but... gestures at the goddamn awful summer i had yeah. THAT happened. so i really wasn't in the mood to do ANY of that. but!! on the bright side!! i feel like i'm finally picking up drawing again :D i've been telling my therapist for soooo long that i'm burnt out from art school and just needed to pick momentum again, and!! i'm finally getting there!! i started making myself draw during our ttrpg sessions (it helps me focus better), and slowly but surely i'm drawing more!!! i'm thinking about my oc's and stories and designing characters and everything and idk. it makes me happy :D i missed art
(can i be completely honest with y'all... it was the sims 4. as sad as that sounds lmao, it's just that making stuff for the game has my creative juices flowing again. guess my brain just needed to try something new. and back on october i participated on simblreen and it was the most productive i've been in AGES, i think that really gave me the push i needed!! that and that i'm making an effort to watch more movies and people that inspire me. the whole designing Ryu's siblings thing was because of a youtube video of a guy making a doll of Scar lol)
so hum, yeah!! this year wasn't what i expected but that's life i guess. at least 2025 ended before ending me lmao, and i'm hopeful about 2026! happy holidays to everyone who celebrated anything on december, and happy new year may 2026 be kinder to you than 2025 wasDec 31, 2025
ohhh the zelda and peach piece <4444 With all the stuff that's happened, I'm glad you've been able to reconnect with creative inspirations and found fun ways to rest parts of the artist in you!! May 2026 be a kinder year for us all ^-^
