#gingaria

Okay, this was a crazy year. I seriously wasn't expecting to have all that new art, especially after these last months, when I've struggled to draw. Anyway, let's get with this!

-January: I started the year writing two Wish rewrites. The first one is a short novel, the second a script fix-it. I designed Lucer/Starboy and did a couple of drawings too.

-February: I didn't know I'd go back to this artstyle for HTTYD, but here we are. You really loved my poll for Stoick and his wooden ducks.

-March: I drew more comics for Gingaria, like this Gotxinka one where I was exploring Artii and Litxii's relationship.

-April: I also did more Meiker games based on my books! This one is from Gotxinka too.

-May: Yep, I did my Halloween drawing in May. I wanted to do something featuring Kylkos and had a lot of fun imagining how he and his friends would camp in the glacier.

-June: Some Zemry art following the presentation of my book Aury.

-July: Got this crazy idea for a t-shirt and I'm glad I did it.

-August: I got this huge art block and started sewing Hoodude. That's actually a photo of my G3 Frankie.

-September: Had this idea for a Trollhunters comic. It had been a while since the last one and I didn't know if I should do it because this things take a lot of time and work and they don't get a good reception (for my standards). But I tried and it was hard, and I did it.

-October: Since I was struggling so much with the comic, I almost forgot Jimtober! My art block was still going strong, so I tried not to think much about the prompts and just draw whatever came to mind.

-November: My art block continued, but then I realized I didn't have many promo materials for my new book, Kneia.

-December: I figured out that my art block was making me afraid of drawing anything in case I messed it up. So I started working on some projects I had put aside because I thought I needed a lot of time to work on them. I discovered that there are different ways to work on your projects to spice out your creative process. For one of the novels (because yes, they're books), I wrote some kind of script. The other started like letters, but I'll be adding dialogue on the next draft. This drawing is for the second story.

Overall, it was a strange year. I'm writing again, but I still struggle with my art block (might be the biggest I've ever had). Hopefully, I have yet another project that could help me (because I need new drawings for it).

Jimtober 2023 15. Screencap redraw

Not quite a real screencap, but I redraw Jlaire as Zemry (Zem & Aury), the characters from my book Zem.
