Description ALL RIGHTY! Here we go, my 2010 art summary meme. WOW, this has been a year... this is much better than my last year art summary. (My last year, for the record: )

A lot of pictures were VERY hard to choose this time around, just because I did SO MUCH ART. Probably more than half my gallery is comprised of stuff from 2010, this has really been a GREAT year for being productive! Have I gotten any better, though? I honestly can't even tell anymore. I can say for sure, though... there's definitely a lot more color this year than there was last year!

January: Action!Trean!! This was a fun one, spurred by my New Year's resolution to do more action/backgrounds/complicated compositions. I've had varying success with that this year.
February: Trean/Orethiel breakupsad. This one actually had a full background!
March: Painted Rian, inspired by Rossetti. My first ever finished "lineless" painting. Sometimes lineless is worth the effort, sometimes not.
April: Xelosian lady. Liked the colors/lighting here.
May: Action!Rian! I've been digging the weapon poses this year, even if they're still just single-character compositions.
June: MmmmmMalachi. I think I said this in my last-year one too.
July: This was a VERY hard month to pick, I had like four pictures I wanted to put here, but since this was a top contender I had to give Fae some representin'.
August: Smut exchange piece for ~ninanai . This was easily the highlight of August, which kind of sucked artwise for me. >_<
September: Trean/Zarael kissies! Again, this was an easy one to pick; there wasn't much I liked in September.
October: Okay, this is when Leland and Claris showed up and staged a hostile takeover of my brain. Funny thing about vampires- since you can only draw them at night, it kind of forces you to work in a darker palette if you're used to sunny, bright colors. That's been the case for these last few months, because I've been drawing these guys non-stop.
November: Gratuitous hot Leland. Work is very obviously taking its toll on my time. I have MUCH less time to work on complicated compositions, so this is pretty much the most I can manage. T__T
December: Claris breakupsad! So many breakups for my characters, it's all so tragic.

But anyway, that's that. Thank you all so much for sticking with me this year... and to anyone new, thanks for hopping on board! I hope my next year one looks MUCH more awesome than this.

I like your improvement! Especially it appears clearly while comparing with 2009 ones.

Ah, thanks. And yes, I agree, MUCH better than last year. Having all that extra time on your hands will do that to one! Kind of a shame I don't have it anymore.

This looks pretty good as it is - everything is in colour and you have a complete pic to show for each month, which is some achievement in itself especially with new busy-ness!

temiel In reply to Larissa-Bright [2010-12-18 20:27:45 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks! If you think about it, a month is a pretty long time. Even given how damn busy everything's gotten for me, I like to take enough time to finish several whole pieces a month, even if those pieces don't have backgrounds. KEEPS YA LIMBER!

Aff, thank you. If I'm being honest, I think this year was only so good because I had SO much time on my hands to throw a LOT of shit at the wall and figure out what stuck.

You absolutely have improved - not just from last year, but from January! Awesome and awesome

Aff, thanks. I really do believe, to a certain extent, it's all about volume. Do enough of ANYTHING and you're bound to get better at it. I was in a class once and the teacher told us about a study where they had two classes of sculpture students: one class that worked on just one project all semester, and another that had to make a piece per day. Unsurprisingly, the ones that did more pieces were far more satisfied with their work, progress and improvement over the course of the semester than the one that did, by comparison, fewer finished pieces. Either way, I'm glad you think I've gotten better... sometimes I worry.

Haha, makes sense. I can only hope that, following that reasoning, my insane overload this semester turns out to be worth it xDD

You have! <3!

Yay, thank you! I'd forgotten, you hadn't seen me at that point, right, so you weren't there when I uploaded that. I'm STILL pretty pleased with that one! Action, yey... :3

I've been working on my 2010 progress meme too! But mine looks a little bit different...-->[link] I'll have to submit that 2010 one posthaste, or it will be 2011 by the time my gallery sees it x.x

Hey! Not only have you broaded your color pallet, but I do think youve improved. The anatomy ( especially in faces and of arms) has gotten better.

temiel In reply to MNat [2010-12-14 00:51:11 +0000 UTC]

YES, I remember seeing that! I LOVE the February picture (uniforms aaaaaaaah! ).

And thank you so much, I definitely think there's been at least... nominal improvement this year. Arms and LEGS and FEET, definitely, have gotten better. But never better enough... T__T SOMEDAY!

My birthmonth's pic is AWESOME! *YAYS May* xD

But Juuuuuuune......... MALACHI YESH.

Ah, see the problem with seeing sexy pictures is that it causes all comments to become single IQ point droolings. xD *doesn't damn mind, MALACHI IS HOT xD*

Great year! A heck of a lot better than mine

temiel In reply to Queen-of-Daemons [2010-12-13 04:50:26 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I'm a May birthday too, so I made sure to pick a good one. But YEAAAAAH MALACHI, NOM NOM... hell, I'm guilty of the single-IQ-point drool marathons as well. I mean, man, I even do it when I just see a good piece of art, it tends to reduce me to a drooling mess. It was DEFINITELY a good year, I'm hoping that the next one will be even better! Granted, for most of this one I did have the luxury of a LOT of free time, though...

That's a lot of colour indeed

And you seem to have been very productive! With lots of nice pictures ^_^
I personally like April and May very much, and July is wicked

I've actually done this meme myself and often found that I only had one picture a month.
That was pretty depressing
I'm going to wait and see if I draw more in December before posting mine though

temiel In reply to Lienwyn [2010-12-12 19:28:27 +0000 UTC]

I know, right? It's a wee bit eye-searing! And yes, I've been INSANELY productive. Not so much lately, but earlier this year it was pretty crazy. May and July are among my favorites of everything from this year. I like what I've been doing with faces lately, but I wish I had more time to devote on full compositions, you know?

Oh man, yeah... when I was doing my 2009 one I found that I literally had ONE picture posted in... I think it was February AND March, that was depressing. But I chalk it up to the fact that I'd JUST gotten out of school, I wanted to be as far away from art as possible!

Lienwyn In reply to temiel [2010-12-14 12:17:31 +0000 UTC]

I still like it though Colours is a good thing!
And yeah, I understand what you mean... I'm the same. Or... well... I would want to practice on a lot of things but I have to take it one thing at a time, even if I would want to work on everything all the time

Heh... that happened to me during three months of 2010... at least if I look at my main gallery and ignore scraps. Funny thing being that I chose a scrap for one of those months x'D
