What a bumper crop of a year. I have so many favourites this year that I can't fit them all in this art summary chart (it's a good selection, though).

Overall, I made 584 art pieces that I consider complete. Here are the ones that are not secret (I'm pretty sure I missed some):

Overall favourite

My art piece for Rose Magazine is decidedly my favourite this year. I'm very satisfied with the colour, composition, detailing and rendering, and I genuinely think my younger self would gasp if they knew they'd make this with their own hands someday - it's the kind of art I've striven for all my life.

Here are some honourable mentions, though:

Took the longest

Unsurprisingly, most of the works that took upwards of the usual 1-4 hours were animations and comics. Funnily enough, the top two were associated with music.

This animation, set to a snippet of Everybody Wants It by Zee Machine and Kelechi, took about 60 hours, across 2 months. The song's artists actually saw the animation roughs and complimented them - I'm still reeling.

This comic, which retells the story of Compass to the lyrics of How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful by Florence + the Machine, involved at least 20 hours across two days. I'll admit, the comic does feel like it should've taken more than two days.

And as for the single still illustration that took the longest, it was almost undoubtedly this gift for , featuring her character Elena. I did lose count, but I'm pretty sure it took at least 12 hours.

Days with the most art pieces

Hoo boy, here we go. The day of the year where I drew the most art was 23 pieces on December 21. This happened mainly because I was on an art stream with some friends and taking requests. Thank you for having me with y'all!

I also drew a lot on:

I admit it, I laughed

I don't normally think of myself as a funny person but. I did make some art that actually made me lose it during the process, and these are worth mentioning as well:
