Hey, I got this one done in January! lol

I had pretty much given up on doing a retrospective graphic for last year, considering how unproductive I was. But then I decided to try to represent the difference between the three more productive months and the rest.

I had a few good choices for January, but I really wanted that one image.

OK, it’s been about seven years since I started this blog. I’ve been sort of putting off any big changes until now. A piece I posted at the end of April seemed like such a good ‘goodbye’ piece that I mostly stopped doing art, and did stop posting art, early this month. I also wanted to deal with some things by getting into a different headspace. I’m not sure it helped.

Talking about doing this for seven years would mean more if I were actually doing this for the whole seven years, and & really haven’t been.

I didn’t even do any art yesterday.

Oh wait, yes I did. But I only posted it on Twitter.

Yep, that’s it. I’m done with DAZ Studio. I’m out.

OK, I did actually do some texture work today, but I don’t know if it will ever make it into a comic. The way I’m feeling, could be anywhere from soon to never.

Re-using the disc style from last year. I thought about another shape, but I already had this template, so...

An early draft of my 2017 retrospective wheel. All of these are of ‘cartoon Nia,’ or variations on cartoon Nia.

So when I will do new art? I just don’t know.

Oh, wow, this has been a long year.

I didn’t produce very many renders to choose from the last two months. But I was doing some creative experimentation earlier in the year.

I suppose tomorrow is the actual anniversary of my first post on this tumblr.

But it was three years ago I opened a gmail account, a dreamwidth, and a tumblr, and started making and posting comics.
