So here we are, end of the year, and not a bad time to be looking back to see what we've accomplished during said year! The first time I've filled one of these out (I think), so you can see how I've improved over the year!

My aim, if anything this year, was work on detailing in the foreground and backgrounds, aka not being lazy and learning how to draw buildings.
By the latter half of the year, the work had begun to pay off, as we're seeing a lot more linework, detail, and then even accurate style emulation (which I started for a bit of a challenge during the Crystal Champs OCT).
In 2010, I'd not done a proper decent BG in any of my pics until I joined the UBF and was suddenly forced to. I think it was one of the best things that could've happened, as it was definitely the push I needed to get over that hurdle I was stuck behind. This lead into 2011 really well, as I began to draw the majority of the BFOI refs, layouts and comics, which certainly needed more than what I could offer them at the start of the year. And as for 2012, well, I feel comfortable enough with what I can accomplish in my BGs now, so my focus for the new year will be machinery, colourwork, and taking the opportunity to better my own style.

Heres to a great 2011 and all the best for 2012!

March was one of my favorites as well.

As for June, do you realize your character seems unnervingly similar to Persona 3's main character?
