This comic was my favourite because I didn't often (and still don't) draw for myself, and I really pushed myself on the lighting and angles/posing. It was dramatic and romantic and sad, and I still like to go back and read it from time to time. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

One of my last favourite pieces of art from the year comes from a comic I did - my first proper one! - processing a scene from an old tabletop rpg. My character, Geriel, had been asked if she loved anyone - and had to mask the heartache and trauma that brought up for her. #noai #humanartists

And a fanart for my favourite vtuber at the time, Dyarikku 🙏 Kinda wish I could go back and change the pose I picked for this, but it was done with excitement and haste and I got a little bit of fan appreciation for it so I was very happy. 😌#noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also contributed a gift to a charity fundraiser - a cute lil doodle request that ended up being Buttercup from everyone's favourite childhood magical girl show. 😌 Went for a lineless style here, too! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Then I also had an artist Secret Santa gift for @hallowchii.bsky.social - their art is incredibly cute and I was lucky to get them in the draw 👉👈 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Did this cute little gift for my friend @lilypips.bsky.social's birthday from that Winter season! She's unbelievably pretty guysh 🥺 I get flustered just looking at her!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also updated my Vain PNGtuber towards the end of this year! I went more chibi with this version and I was in LOVE with her even just from the first sketch. I really struggle with chibi styles and still don't "have" one, so I still love looking back to this. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

And another little chibi gift it seems I did for the lovely Saff 🩷✨ She taught me how to do those pretty plump stars I've always admired. 🥹 I miss those fun art twitch days a lot!! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Bit of a soppy addition that certain algorithms might hate, but I also did a bit of sketching in this year on my feelings about myself and reflections from exploring polyamory! This was a particularly melancholy but also happy piece. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

And ended up speed-drawing this really cool pose for some of my branding work? Foreshortening is a dog. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I was also working on improving Vainglory's design, with multiple outfits and more detail on her demon mode I'd recoloured previously. Got big gothic inspiration for phase two. ✨😊 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Revisiting old characters, this was a full body reference I gave to my first ever D&D character (where I met my first partner!), Legume. She is very clumsy but ended up becoming a fully fledged Fighter at the end of her campaign and I'm still very fond of her. #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Me too!! 🥹♥️

Anatomy and proportions, more complex posing - I still needed a little bit of practice though. This is a cropping of a piece I did for my OC Myrrh and his brother Theilyn! The former is dragging the latter to (go dance? It's been so many years I can't recall). #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

But I was doing other kinds of pinups, too. This is @purapea.bsky.social's gorgeous husband tiefling to my Kirkham (see previous post). I think this was one of the things I was proudest of making that year - the shading, posing and lighting all came together! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Further evidence to my previous point. 👀 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

And I was leaning more and more into uhhh. Drawing things I enjoy. 🥰 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

There was the occasional gift and experimental piece I tried here and there - liking the pink theme between these. 🩷 #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

More commissions, too - this was character art for my old housemate, who was playing in an #L5R game at the time! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists #commissions

did anyone ask for hot fey?? because I did that too 😏 this is a fey NPC for a one-shot I ran, and he's completely golden-skinned... #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Again, I have soooo many WIPs left from that year...so sad I never finished this lineless pic of my girl Remy 😭 I'll come back to you one day baby #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also made @purapea.bsky.social's cute lil himbo husband in 2021 as well - this is Kirkham and he was a firbolg I designed for another #DND5e game I played with my lovely art friends ❤️ boba window was mandatory #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I also made possibly the best chibi I've ever drawn back in 2021, a piece of fanart for the absolutely wonderfully lovely @safrb.bsky.social - she had just done her re-debut with a new model and I was floored by how pretty it was! 🥺❤️ #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

There were a couple of pieces I did to enhance my streaming setup too, now I was more enjoying PNGtubing. Still enjoy this background set I made for my "just chatting" screen. >:3 comfy sofa !! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

One of the drawing challenges I did was joining in with a fellow Twitch artist's species design, where they were combining traits of mythological creatures into something cute. This is Evangeline, and she's someone I like to sketch for my warm-ups! #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

I started making OC reference sheets too, though I have too many so didn't get very far... 🫣 These robot sisters are for a cyberpunk #rpg campaign I run. Still really proud of these and have recently enjoyed doing a ref sheet commission off the back of them as examples! #noai #artistsofbluesky

Secret surprise second post from me today! My comm slots are now open on vgen as the lovely @nichiiexe.bsky.social gave me one of her codes - I would love it if anyone would drop me a follow or even a cheekay lil commission to try and help me get verified! 🥰 vgen.co/morgul

I went and revisited some old #tabletop characters of mine - this Myrrh Cylhanna, an Eladrin drag queen and one of my dearest elves. My partner Adam played his brother and it was the first time we'd done paired OCs! Really enjoyed that #DND5e campaign even if it didn't last long. #noai #humanartist

Continuing the catch up on 2021 art - did a number of art challenges and DTIYS posts, too. I started experimenting a little bit more with character design and doing some weird and wonderful things. ✨ #noai #artistsofbluesky #humanartists

Bust of Oltyx from the Twice Dead King novels

Very excited to be presenting again later today at the Warhammer Conference! This year I'm talking about Necrons, Trans/Posthumanism, and why Wargame fiction is important to analyse. Plus I got this wonderful commission from @morgul.bsky.social 's sketch club, and I love it so much!
