Introduction

Woah how fast the new year is coming by, with lots of ups and downs in my life but very grateful on how everyone's been supporting my art with the years, 300 fans?!! that's a cool number I've never imagined to achieve and hope it gets higher each time I visit my page.

If you were wondering why so low the interaction with newgrounds comparing last year? that's because I started university and I've decided to become a proffessional with my art so I can live with it, sadly in my country the best social media for sharing art is Instagram so I'm trying to be more active there, BUT I'll never leave newgrounds mainly because I love the support this site has given me and people from my university club are encouraging me to keep helping on those lil' projects as well as theirs.

Now It's time to see everything I did this year so far!!!

January

I remember this month being unproductive as I've recently got a new tablet, graduating from school was also a big barrier to make art as I had to concentrate on life choices.

Also, looking again at my old human art just makes me wanna re-do all of my drawings as this year I've been working to improve on character design xp

February

This month I worked in lots of collabs and projects for next months so I just managed to publish a fanart for the picayune art contest.

March

This month I did a massive fanart about itazura madness, one of the best games I've played on this platform, and the creator liked it!!!

Also this was the month I started looking for improvements on my characters, starting with Psyca!!!

Finally, a lightning practice that for some reason friends and followers really liked.

April

Started the month by celebrating my account's second anniversary, another art I don't really like anymore so I hope next year I do something better xp

I consider this one of my best artworks using my old style, introducing two new ocs and a lot of nature, still aiming on doing full art like this but with my new style.

Again I kept on trying to improve character designs, this time with my first oc Lucy!!!

May

My first collab of the year was published!!! the Pico-Cross Collab 2023, I remember watching the brackenwood series so I decided to draw the popular Bitey and of course a fatsack.

I also made a really bad trivia which nobody managed or maybe even tried to solve for pico day xp, another topic to improve.

I made another drawing staring Lucy!!!

To end the month I participated in a dtiys just to experiment with my artstyle.

June

This is the month where I started to change a lot my art, mainly because I started university and more of my time spent was improving the basis, anatomy, perspective, creative design, etc. that's also why I didn't post a lot as usual.

I also joined an art club called "Tweening", something I really love until now as I managed to meet some cool artists where I live and still working with on amazing projects!!!

This one was an illustration for my club, especifically an art contest that I didn't know what happened at the end x-x

July

Another illustration for my club, spiderverse themed, this one is special as it's my first drawing with the new artstyle and I really like it!!!

Most of the time this month was spent on getting used to my university

September

This month is when I managed to succesfully redesign all of my characters, not anatomically accurate but something near that I like!!!

I've also made something for my best friend's birthday c:

Finally, another collab was posted, the cog collab!!!

October

This month I designed another character that'll take part on that world I'm creating with my other oc's, this time a man as I've never designed one until then.

Two collabs were posted this month, the DAC collab and the creature collab, two collabs with some interesting history behind their productions as their organizers had some delays while creating them, but they finally got submited!!!

Here are the art I've made for both collabs + some other works I've made for the halloween event of my club!!!

November

A gif edition of the coglab was posted this month...for some reason

There was another gallery in my club which I had a lot of fun doing involving Jack Kirby's works, with some art of mine being shown there!!!

Another collab was posted, the fishing collab, which nobody knew it was about to come out as their original organizer left newgrounds a year ago, but it finally came out!!!

Finally, I did another drawing which is one of my favorites this year, because of the colors, composition and comically theme I've decided to show.

December

My last collab was submitted, the gogo's collab, which gives me a lot of nostalgia, so glad I managed to participate in it!!!

My first traditional drawings were posted this month, I really liked how well this post was received, I'll try to make more in the future as I've become to like doing traditional art...but first I need an sketch book and some colors haha.

I've finally decided to participate in this secret santa event where I really enjoyed drawing my gift and also really liked my gift as well!!!

My gift for kakuyamii:

Psyca's art by maxtimes3:

Finally, my last art of the year was posted today!!! in reality I forgot to publish it here as it have been days since my illustration was posted on instagram, sorry x-x

Well I think that's all from me, if for some reason a collab I've also worked on and should be posted this year comes out, I will make an update, until now...that's all :D

Conclusions and the future...

I think I've did all good with art improvement, specially with my artstyle and character designs, obviously there's things I need to improve and I'm looking forward next year to become better and better!!!

Newgrounds: I'll keep making art posts, helping on collabs and maybe talking with people; sadly I've been getting news that people I met here have left and I hope they are good where they chose to be, gotta admit that my interaction with this site have been low comparing to 2022 but no worries the content will always be here!!!

P.d. I'm also looking forward to getting a frontpage, but just time can tell when I can get one!!!

Instagram: It's now my main objective as most of artists from my country uses it, also I'm trying to get more recognition on bigger social medias, I know it's hard but If I want to live doing art I have to take risks so feel free to support me on this journey!!!

X (twitter): I didn't like it so...maybe next time I'll revive that account, when I become more popular I guess...xp

Art: With my improved artstyle I'm now aiming to do more complex art, something with backgrounds, people interacting with each other to tell a story and things like that, so let's keep looking forward, see you next year!!!
