This has been a rather rough year for me RL-wise, with both personal and family difficulties and a new job. I took on several large fanart projects this year that took a month, or more to do, as well as doing interior illustrations and art for the cover of Ripple Effect (links below). All of that meant that I didn't do as many things this year as in past years, and didn't get a few things done that I'd hoped to finish this year. So I have several fanart things that I intend to finish in 2009. I'm not going to say that those will absolutely be the last fanart pieces I'll ever do, because I have loved being involved in the HP and H/D fandoms, but my intention is that after those specific projects are finished I will be concentrating on original work. More on that later. :)
