So this year I did 4 attacks in total, which is the same as my last AF (in 2022). I don't even remember why I had this one year off :o Anywyas, I hope I can do way more next year! I do wish I've done more this month, but there were some problems preventing me from that, sooo yeah...

It was not on purpose, but I noticed that I drew 4 completely different species too, so that's cool! I was happy to draw somebody else's characters for a change, especially that they had such great designs :3

I also tried drawing a little bit of a background, changing my colour palette to be more lively, trying different shading and most importantly I moved from Paint Tool SAI to FireAlpaca, and honestly... I don't feel like switching anytime soon. The program is literally so easy to use and it feels similar to me to what I'm used to (I used SAI for literal years, I think since 2016 - before that I would use GIMP 2.6, and MS Paint way earlier of course). Actually, GIMP 2.6 seemed like such a great invention back then, lol. It took me a while to move to SAI, but I had a friend who did art there and my eyes have been opened sooo wide lol, it was even better! Never liked Photoshop or Corel shrug

But, basically FireAlpaca lets me draw with better pressure sensitivity and helps me to make smoother lines, so even though I had that in SAI, it never worked so well for me. Because of that, my line quality improved. So I think I'll stick with it for now.

In general, I kind of miss the days where getting art trades was easy and now unless it's Art Fight, it's not really commonplace. But I get it, we're adults now, busy and if there's no $$ involved it can feel like giving shit out for free when you could be making something. Sooo... feel free to comment about a trade, maybe we could do something! :3
