2025 has been a very interesting year art-wise so far for me, I think. I've picked up 3d modeling for the first time, I've returned to painting for the first time in years. Just generally, I've been doing physical mediums a lot more than previously... I'd really like to improve how I draw people without needing to do guidelines LOL
The thing that ended up changing the most was that I was experiencing constant pain for months on end, and digital art would end up triggering it the worse unfortunately. So I'm trying to live healthier and find more outlets away from my desk, while still improving on my skills in other ways (been drawing more animals lately, though. they're still sea animals, so maybe that's considered my usual work [even if i don't show many people them])
But I still really adore drawing on my computer and I have games to make, so...I won't be away from them forever
Putting my hands together I'll be able to release the next build of radio_wishers to my playtesters next year, but I'll be patient with myself if I can't
And I'm looking forward to making more paintings and 3D models. And I want to pick up sewing more often. One thing I've added on my bucket list is to try to sell some of my work in a local artist market one day. So I want to make sure my physical work is up to par since I've love to sell more than prints and keychains @_@
Money isn't my top priority for my art, but I've always wondered about more ways to make profit off my work, since regular work is tough... But opening public commissions is kinda of scary to me. Maybe if I like artist markets, that could be one way. And I've wanted to sell some digital art books, but I imagine that won't take me too far lol (still gonna try)
One of the projects I was planning this year was a zine for myself and my friends where we just drew our ocs. That kind of fell through organization because I spent so much time in pain. But it's still something I hope to do one day too!
I'm still looking forward to seeing how my art will turn out by the end of this year, I'm really proud of myself for everything despite how awful this year has been to me the first half
