Improvement Meme 2014

So maybe it's not a huge leap, but I tried really hard, drew over a thousand pictures, and I've improved a teensy bit.x3

Maybe next time I'll scan and upload my older traditional art.

I pray someday soon I can reach my dream of living off my artwork!!


My 2015 Goals:

Continue improving my adoptable designs.  This is the art I am most passionate about, I would like to call myself a professional "creature concept artist" someday.

Build a sellable artwork inventory; this includes linearts and print-on-demand merchandise.

Practice sculpting, it's a good escape when those computer headaches keep me from drawing for days.  I would love to build custom adopts this way and auction them.

Return to some of the bright colours, deep shading, rainbowy glowy stuff, and backgrounds I used to do.  I haven't been able to do detailed art much because it takes so much time and doesn't earn any more than the simpler stuff...



And if anyone needs any more motivation: You CAN Do It Too! Commissions, Exposure, and...

I now have over 16,000 amazing people encouraging me, and I know it's only a matter of tim
