Watching over them Last but most certainly not least for AAM is the lovely and talented @velocesmells~ I only discovered her art and comic a year or so ago, but she has jumped into my top inspirations very quickly. Her art always fills me with awe and her comic is one I have fallen in love with and recommend to everyone. For her tribute drawing, I had trouble picking who to draw because her characters are all so compelling, but in the end I decided on Begonia because she is a goddess~ Judy, thank you for all the inspiration and hours of enjoyment your work has brought me! I can’t wait to see more from you as you continue to grow and develop :)

Noa is excited about her new (small) sword and shield! Next up for AAM is none other than the lovely @lulles :) I found her through her beautiful Legend of Zelda art and have been an avid fan of everything she has produced since. Her paintings have such a vibrant softness to them that make me feel all warm inside~ For her tribute drawing, I drew her OC Noa and gave her a sword because she seems like the kind of kid who would have one! Thank you Luisa for being such an inspiration over the years! I hope you have a wonderful new year :)

Daisies Next up for AAM is @gorillaprutt, artist extraordinaire and a huge inspiration to me! His art and animations are so simple and minimalistic, but incredibly breathtaking. I have been a fan for many years and always love to see his art when he posts it. I decided to draw him his OC Daisy because I love her so much. She’s adorable and has a really cool design. So thanks John for being so amazing and I with you all the best for this new year :)

Let’s do this! The artist for today’s AAM is @firstnamezacklastnamemorrison! Their webcomic Paranatural is just AMAZING and I love it dearly. Their style is so expressive and their goofs never fail to make me laugh. For their tribute drawing, I had to draw my favorite characters: Isabel and Eightfold~ It may be a pipe dream, but I’m still holding on to hope that one day they can be reunited :’D So thank you Zack for all the joy, laughter, suspense and tears over the years. I cannot wait to see all you do in the future :)

We share our sins... For my penultimate AAM tribute, I’m honoring the fantastic and amazing @tinypaint! I have been following her art and comic (@avasdemon) for several years and she never ceases to amaze me. When I got my first Intuos, I remember referencing her tutorials because I wanted to be like her. To this day, she is still a constant source of inspiration and one of my biggest influences as I foray into more painterly work. For her tribute drawing, I decided to “sin swap” the main cast~ So thank you thank you thank you Michelle for everything you’ve done and inspiration you’ve given me :) I look forward to seeing even more

What are you lookin’ at? Next up for AAM is @the-orator ! Kayla has been a HUGE inspiration to me over the years, particularly her faces and clothing. I reference her work regularly for inspiration and sometimes just to be wowed by how good it is. For her tribute drawing, I had to draw her OC Valkari because her design is spectacular~ So thanks for everything Kayla, your art has had a profound impact on me! I’m wishing you all the best in your future endeavors :)

Anyway, thank you so much Katy for all the awesome stuff you’ve created and inspiration you’ve given me :)
