2024 End of Year Report
🕑 Added 2025-01-04 23:59:20 +0000 UTCHello and happy 2025! 🥃✨🥃
Thank you all for your support this past year, the support and encouragement you all give is unbelievable and I’m incredibly grateful for your generosity! 💛
I feel like when the world is uncertain, the best we can do is to focus on what we can control in our own lives. I’m going to focus on making the best art I can this year.
As both a stubborn refusal to submit to the state of the world right now as well as a thank-you to each of you and the community we all inhabit. Either way, I hope that it can arouse some positive feelings in your life 💕😁
💛 Let’s dive right into the year end report!📈
December Goals. 1️⃣/4️⃣
⏹️Libby & Holly Ch3 100% Finished
⏹️Comics in Coming in Handy Store
⏹️CYOA Pt 17
✅"Witch" stuff.
December is always a difficult month to accomplish anything and this was no exception. I gave myself “Witch Stuff” because I kept sketching throughout the month.
Libby & Holly Ch3 is still a work in progress. Yesterday I finished coloring up to page 29 so there’s still slow progress there! Just 13 pages left and I’ll upload the FINAL version. :)
It makes sense to me to wait on the physical comics store update until I can have prints of Libby & Holly Chapter 3 in there. But the CYOA can happen alongside that and maybe should happen sooner...although I might just draw a bit more Peach first...
Here’s a quick recap of what we did together in 2024!:
✅ Libby & Holly Chapter 3: Pages 9-43
✅ CYOA Pt 10,11,12,13,14,15,16
✅ Shopify Sticker Store
✅ Baldur’s Gate 3 Fanart
✅ Garden Witch Art
✅ Medusa Art
✅ Farcille Fanart
✅ Atlantis Fanart
✅ Regency Zelda Fanart
✅ Tentacle Witches
✅ Aster Art
✅ Witches Art
✅ Silly miscellaneous animation tests
✅ Still more silly sketchbook drawings
This year I’m most proud of changing up the way I approach the monthly sketchbook. I’ve really liked having a set color palette and a consistent format and I feel like it’s suited to making it easier for me to do more art.
I’m a big believer in making things easy on myself because making work is just hard enough as it is, and I think this format allowed me to thrive a bit more than I would have. Also I like how it makes little chapter headings when you put them all in a row like above!
January is going to be a house-keeping month where Kitt🐰 and I work on wrapping up the leftovers of 2024 and that looks like:
☃️January Goals
⏹️Libby & Holly Ch3 100% Finished
⏹️Comics in Coming in Handy Store
⏹️CYOA Pt 17
My vision for 2025 is to simplify what I do every month so that I can get more consistent in my comics releases. I end up putting a lot of time and money into getting the store up and running and once that’s done it makes sense to kind of let it drive my priorities and make more things that can go into the store and make the most of its presence.
Also Kitt🐰 will be there, attempting to make sure I stay focused, if it’s even possible.😅
Thank you for sticking with me through everything and I hope that this year we can build some wonderful things together. Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Haha that's excellent! To be fair you don't need yours to have my website printed on it 😁

I've made my own version of the template from scratch, so don't worry about the files on my behalf haha! Actually I wasn't even aware we have Dropbox rewards... I need to pay more attention fbsjdjdjkdjf

happy new year! its been such an honor to follow your art in these past months <3 i quickly fell in love with your art, and then your characters pulled me in further. thank you so much for sharing your work; i'm so completely enamored with everything you make, it's hard to express with words :)

It's a good instinct, to focus on what we can actually affect over what we can't.

An excellent year, here's to another great one (art wise, less said about the real world the better) Happy New year, I'm looking forward to seeing what it has to bring

Congratulations on everything you got done this year! It was a pleasure to be part of it, even if I only joined recently. Also, the sketchpage template is truly a miracle. I tried it out myself and I don't know why but just having a dedicated template with a lil' header for the month made me so much more productive! I used to struggle to deliver just 1 monthly sketch and now I am actually having fun filling up a whole page with several doodles, it's fantastic! Basically, this is just a lot of words to say I think you are very right about what works for your workflow, so simplifying processes next year is also a good bet in my opinion! Whatever you decide to do in 2025, I'm sure it will be excellent as usual. ✨️

You created some fantastic art this year. I know month to month there were ups and downs, but seeing everything at the end here I think there's a lot to be proud of. Here's to 2025!

The color palette idea is great, I've really enjoyed it. Happy New Year!
