A (corner)time to reflect

Since we are still in the birth throes of the New Year (may it be a good one), I have been reflecting on myself (scary!), on my art (fun!), and what I want to do with both this year.

While I have a lot of fun with drawing in general, I do tend to gravitate towards the same kind of bodies and poses time after time, so I would like to try and get some more variety in 2025. That means variety in size, skin-tones (when in colour, obviously), facial features, expressions, et cetera. There is a lot of comfort for me in simple otk scenes, but dynamism is also quite fun to think about, and while I tend to use quite exaggerated pin-up-like proportions, I also love drawing, celebrating (and spanking) all sorts of women, from curvy to toned, large to skinny, and anything in between. So let’s see more of that! I also hope that that way more people will see themselves in the drawings, and maybe enjoy them even more.

In passing, I also want to get my colouring and shading to the next level but 1) it’s hard, and 2) I’m lazy. However, I do like my style (hey, I’ve chosen it), and I think there is something fun in the minimalism of a restricted colour palette and what one can do with it. It is a nice way to have some bits stand out (you know the ones!), and it allows me to fit art in a generally busy life and schedule without having to spend weeks finishing a piece. So win-win, I guess? All that to say that I want to get my colouring better, but that I still intend to carry on with my usual style.

Finally, and this is reflected in this piece as well, the third chapter of my little game has been a shadow looming over me for the entirety of 2024, and it has caused me more anxiety than I’d like to admit, so getting some fantasy-style pieces done again is something I’m looking forward to, and finally finishing that cursed chapter!

Good things are coming! I know it.
