2020 Art Collage
I mentioned at the end of 2020 that I wanted to do one of those "art collage by month" things for the year, so I finally put that together.
Much of the "by month" part is fudged, because a lot of this was stuff like "I started this in November 2019 and finished it in July 2020 but I'm going to put it down for February 2020 because that was the month I mostly finished it and also I didn't do anything else in February 2020."
I have art for May and June 2020, but I didn't want to use them because the May pictures were bad and the June one is the still-unfinished cover for The Lord, His Monster, and Their Lady. Also, it was harder to layout if I included those. The December picture is an icon I did many years ago (13?) for Lut. He wanted a mask added to it. ♥
February, March, and April are book covers for The Twilight Etherium, The Mortal Prince and the Moon Etherium, and Spark of Desire, respectively. September is a portrait of Raven from Demon's Lure and Angel's Sigil. August is doodle of one of my characters from when I was 12. The "re-draw your characters from when you were a kid" meme doesn't work well for me, in part because I am still not that good at art and in part because I don't have any of my drawings from when I was kid. (My oldest work is from college and because I seldom practice, my style has not changed or improved much.) July is a doodle of Cherish from The Princess, Her Dragon, and Their Prince, from when my fediverse friends were doing an alphabet-letter-a-day thing ("C is for Cherish", in this case.) I liked the way the crochet draped over her arm came out. January was "I should practice drawing more" and used a Pixabay photo for reference. October was inspired by an artist's landscape and I wanted to try something with a similar palette and a stylized look. November was "let's try that palette again but more of a landscape this time," and also used Pixabay for a reference.
I have done some drawing in January but it's all Yet More Work on The Lord, His Monster, and Their Lady cover. I should do a nice color doodle in the next week so I have something for a 2021 collage. >_>
