Okay guys, bear with me and read on. I also apologize for the crappiness of the image. My scanner is useless.
So, I've been drawing this at the beginning of every year since I was in 7th grade. I know it's a little early, but I was really excited to make this upcoming year's picture. I do this to see where I'm at, skill-wise and emotionally.
It was one insane year. I have come a really long way, especially in the past month. I feel like I'm losing all that withheld anger that fueled most of my drawings. It's interesting to not be hating something for a change. Hahah I sound childish, but it's true. I'll link you guys to the other pictures I've done. I suggest opening them up in a separate tab to compare, it's interesting to say at the least.

The difference between the beginning of this year, and the one you see above is a HUGE improvement! I feel way more at peace and actually have a sense of direction unlike the beginning of the year. I'm proud of who I am and what I've done this year, which was a lot. I've overcome many difficulties with myself, my family, and my dad. I'm a little beat up, but doing good.
Man, 2013 went pretty damn well with all things considered. I'm feeling okay for once. It's nice. Anyways, have a happy holidays you guys! Thank you for being my awesome watchers, you guys and gals rock! Love you all!

This is really awesome! The background designs are interesting, and the color is just perfect. You have improved so much from the last ones (even though they all are pretty great). I'm glad you're feeling better this year.

Awesome style, awesome use of colors, awesome dragon. This is awesome, Jade. I know that we haven't known each other that long but I just want to say that I'm really proud of you. I've been going through some similar struggles this year and I want you to know that I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to. Anyway, this piece is great and it really shows how much you've improved in the last year. Keep up the freaking amazing work, Jade!
