#echoedwings

A secret santa for echoedwings of their character done waaay back last year in December. I'm just... very bad at posting things. I was testing painting again - I hadn't really painted something in years.

You want to see improvement? This is improvement.

This year was a big one for me, art wise.This was the year I got my first tablet, a Samsung Galaxy tablet. Yes. Using this I began to draw like you wouldn’t believe. 

January saw the first completed sketch, and I was so proud of it then. I entered it into a competition... and it came last. Looking at it now, I cringe. But everyone starts somewhere.

February saw my Magnum Opus, or my nickname for one of my favourite pieces. Even though now it’s beginning to show a hint of age, I designed every single part of that image, and its quality made me realise this was the direction to go. I have always loved details. So while it isn’t my greatest piece, it was my beginning.

March saw me trying out more of the same neon style, as well as one of my favourite tools, the Symmetry bar. Another fun one to work on.

April saw a complete remake of January’s sketch, which is why I’ve included it despite drawing many great works in this month. The improvement is vast. I entered this one in the same competition and it won.

May  came with me trying to go back to drawing dragons. I drew this great beast and decided to open up a shop. It didn’t take off at the start, but soon people started taking interest.

June was my First ever Commission made by someone other than direct family and friends, so this lady has a place in my heart.

July saw a chance to draw more work for the person who ran January’s competition. I loved working on this one, and am kind of sad this collage doesn’t pick up some of the finer details in the work.

August took two of my favourite things, detail and symmetry, and blended them together. This is one of the few images I have hanging up on my wall.

September was very quiet. I had the commission shop closed nearly the entire month. I was terribly busy, and real life issues had caught up, meaning my art was put on the backlog. I still managed to squeeze out a few commissions though.

October was my busiest month. Some of my favourite images were drawn this month, as well as most of the dragons this year, but this lovely Gijinka for Yaevinn was my favourite.

November was starting to see a slowing of commissions as the holiday times began, but one of my oldest customers returned to buy more art. While the first piece of work is not included, the new piece i did for him is by far my favourite of the two. Improvement!

And lastly, December saw only one piece of work being done that month due to christmas. A christmas present for a friend’s friend, I loved working on the two dragons. That image probably took me the longest to complete, having to spread it out over the span of a few weeks. Still love it.

And that was 2016! Expect more from me art wise, and I hope everyone enjoys the new year!

Riku was about to doze off, the TV humming the credits to a movie while advertizing the next one, when his phone buzzed on the coffee table. “Shit!” he hissed, jumping up and jolting Sora asleep on his shoulder.

“Wha? Huh?” Sora yelped. “What happened?” He yawned wide. “Did...Troy win the basketball game?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Riku muttered. Adrenaline made his hands shake as he picked up his phone, “KAIRI” flashing on the screen. “C’mon, you’ve seen High School Musical a billion times.”

“I know,” he said, settling back into his side. “Whossat?”

“Kairi.”

“Okay.” Sora slipped and his head fell onto his lap, but he didn’t seem to mind, hugging his thighs. “Tell her...I said hi...”

He smirked. “Sure.” He’s cute. At last, he swiped the call open and held it to his ear. “Yo.”

“Hey. Am I calling too late?”

“Nah. You might’ve woke up Sora during our High School Musical marathon. He says hi, though.”

She giggled. “Woke him up? Sounds like I woke you up, too.”

“No...” His protest was weak as he struggled to choke back a yawn. “Movie’s over anyway.”

“Oh, yeah?”

“Yeah. They’re rerunning it too, so...”

“Watching it on TV, huh?”

“Mmhmm.”

Silence fell between them. On his lap, Sora had begun to snore, and Riku stroked his spiky hair gently. “Sorry, I don’t think I can...do anything tonight,” he said.

“That’s okay.” Her voice lilted as she spoke, playful, and knowing. Shit. Riku held his breath and bit his lip. Sora’s usually home by now. She calls late so we can...fool around. Sometimes we Skype, sometimes it’s just over the phone. Sora’s not into it, so...

With a sigh, she came back. “We can play some other time.”

Riku swallowed. “Yeah. Some other time.”

“...Hey.”

“Hm?”

“Are you feeling all right?”

“What? Yeah, I’m fine.” Why do you ask? I spent the whole night with Sora, of course...I’m doing fine.

“I just wanted to...check in. You know? I-I...” Kairi hesitated. “I worry.”

Riku’s face fell. Worry, huh? Worry. After I got in trouble at school, blew up at Sora, shut myself away from everyone, and really wanted to end...well, everything. Guess that’s a reason to be worried. But, you both stuck around, you both came back for me.

You were crying, Kairi...I don’t want to see you cry again.

In the end, Riku nodded. “Yeah, I know. I’m okay, now.”

“Good.” It was warm, and pushed a smile on his face. “I’ll let you boys get some sleep.”

He chuckled. “Yeah. Gotta drag Sunshine into bed, here. Oy--” He mussed Sora’s hair, coaxing him to groan. “Let’s get into bed. You can’t use me as a pillow forever.”

“But whyyyyy,” Sora groaned.

On the phone, Kairi giggled. “Okay. Night, Riku. Love you.”

Riku’s heart stuttered. Has she ever said that to me? “L-love you, too,” he replied. That’s the first time we...ah. Gods. And it was so casual, too...

He closed his mouth abruptly when he saw Sora’s face rolled over in his lap, grinning. “Riku loves Kaiiiriii,” he sang.
