Improvement Meme

Usually I don't subscribe to (or advertise for) the website "Deviantart", but I really liked this "improvement" meme. I usually don't do this kind of thing either, but it's been very nice to see the gradient of my art.

I lost all the digital copies for my artwork from 2006 except for a few things, and the only reason I have those is because they were uploaded various places. Most of it was schoolwork, though, and I have all the originals. But wasn't about to scan them for a meme.

2009 seriously was 50% my Senior Project. I obsessed over it. When I wasn't doing the actual work for it, I was doodling the characters. When I wasn't doodling them, I was making soundtracks for the series. When I wasn't doing that, I was making their clothes (no, really). So I made a lot of art and things for that, but not much else that was 'complete' - everything else I did has been uploaded here.

The second half of 2009 is kind of difficult to explain in an artistic sense. I went through a disruptive personal experience that kept me from being emotionally involved in my art - those moments tend to be when I do fanart, so I did more of that this year then I have since about 2002.

I've also been working on a webcomic with nearly the same vigor I had with my senior project. I draw the characters often, make soundtracks for them, doodle their world, etc. I've been refraining from putting much about it online for two reasons: fear that I won't commit, and the desire for the entire project to be a surprise.
