Knight of the dark sun

2025 is over ! It was a very stable and clam year for me :)

I decide to chill with art and progression, try things, learn things, fail at things, and... I liked it ! I think I didn't created my most exciting pieces of art this year, but all of them felt "deliberate", I always had a clear goal in mind doing them ! I tried to get better at rendering, and values, and composition, and characters which overall, I think I achieved to my liking. I also "tried" stuff, even if for now, it is still quite shy, I went in different directions, without focusing to much on style or identity ? I just wanted to explore ? and not worry too much about a brand or anything.

Which overall, gives a pretty incoherent look to this recap, but I see art has having moments of chaos and moments of order, Im very much in a chaos episode, and I think we should not fight against it, just embrace it, and create whatever comes, I trust it will all makes sense in the future !

After leaving 2024, I felt discouraged about my work, I had the feeling something was lost, and I didn't know what, or how to reclaim it. I think 2025 gave me that thing back, I hope in 2026 I get to create more and have fun !
