end of the year, so time for the art summary
yeah...my drawing amount has been steadily decreasing as the years go by, hasn't it...idk why i didn't sketch anything march/april (i mean Roizen didn't die until like...june i think? so that's not the excuse), but you know, for the constant feeling of "uhg i'm not drawing enough" i was happy to see that i did do more art than i thought. and yeah, sept is allowed since i decided after visiting my boyfriend over labor day that i was going to go to TexRen, so had to prep for that
but otherwise, yeah it's actually been a pretty big year for me. i got a boyfriend at the end of last year, and we're still going strong, he's great; we're talking about me going back to visit next year...and maybe staying. like said, i went on a vacation to go see him, and that gave me the confidence to go to TexRen a month later; i took 2 big girl vacations by myself (as in without family).
my online friday night game group finally finished the 2ish year long Runelords campaign (i joined in the middle of book 1/the start of book 2, so not entirely sure how long exactly it ran for), and we just started a new Crimson Throne campaign. my online saturday night game group is still going strong; this year we started Phandelver and finished it (sadly Roizen died in the middle, but that gave us Varya who i've still yet to draw weirdly enough), and are now on Vecna (with the new '24 rules; it's been interesting). i restarted my Carrion Crown campaign on monday nights after a 5 year hiatus...only for it to be killed off a second time in oct when the whole group went on hiatus. got a wed afternoon game group with my sibling and his friends...but that is really unstable and we haven't played since oct either. i also sorta joined an online sunday night game group, but that's not that regular...but the main big deal is that it's me interacting with new people and i was far less anxious about it.
i also took an art commission job, and am considering trying to open up for those more regularly...
so here's to another year improving as we go i guess. try to get back into being better about art, and keep on working on improving my self confidence with well everything. my year might be coming to an end, but it was a good run that i hope to keep going.
I like this guy, he so nice

Finally finished 😭 Timelapse at the bottom! I had an idea for my Wings of Pages series, where instead of text, it's a book full of botanical illustrations. The majority of the time was spent on the individual flowers for each feather/page of the wings. I really love the look of old botanical books with the water color paintings and the scientific names written in cursive. So I spent way too many hours painting out 20 of these flower pages, and even then, it wasn't enough for the wings so I did have to duplicate some.
Here are the 20 flowers! The HD image of Atlas Botanicus, and all 20 HD flower studies without watermark will be DMed on Patreon.com/Yuumei on May 5th, along with the hours long video recording of how I painted everything.
