2023 was a quite a good year for me both irl and art wise.

Although I doubt my skills really improved over this year, I feel a lot more confident drawing now which is nice. I feel a lot of this confidence boost has come from reaching 100 fans (thanks again btw!!!) and my art blowing up over on twitter. I had a few posts get loads of likes and stuff on there which is great. I try not to focus on likes too much, it's not a great mindset, but having my art reach that many people is really cool and I hope I can keep reaching similar numbers next year.

I also pumped loads more art this year too, I nearly doubled my post count over here lol. New years resolution is to get at least 1 post out a month. We'll see how that goes though, I won't force myself to post anything if I don't want to.

I actually interacted with people this year too. I made a few posts in the art forum's OC thread, participated in a couple collabs and actually spoke to a few people. Aspergers makes interacting with new people quite tough for me, but I think a pretty good job this year. Also, all the meetups being in the US is gives real FOMO, some extrovert from the UK organise something yeah?

I've made an art post with some sketches and other pieces from this year that didn't get posted into my main art gallery. Take a look:

Outside of art, this year has still been pretty good. I released my game on steam called BYLE, it's roguelike and is COMPLETELY FREE! I made it as my final project over uni. Speaking of, I also graduated this year! I am now games programming certified. If only half of the games industry WASN'T laid off this year, might make job searching a little easier for me 🙃.

Overall a solid 9/10 year, hopefully 2024 is just as kind.

See you next year :)
