2023 Art Summary/Retrospective

Share

So 2023 is almost over, let's summarize the art that has been made in 2023!


January - Stick together forever no matter what


    Yeah, let's start with a birthday image, and one I am not the most proud of. It's mostly Spacey's "Tude Face" that I hate. I was desperate for an expression so I scribbled on whatever. Not a great choice in hindsight. Still a fine drawing but that still annoys me.


    February - Spooks Serious Smoke


      Cartoons should smoke, and Spooks proves that with this drawing. Look at him go with this great drawing.


      March - Getting a good Fisting from the Ray


        I really like drawing Rayman. The goofy fellow provides a lot of fun ideas and allows me to be especially creative. With Rayman 3 being one of my favorite games of all time, I say it was fitting that Rayman 3 got an anniversary drawing.


        April - Bomberman 40th Anniversary Pieces


          One of the big strides I made in 2023 was joining in serious art collabs. I have dabbled in art collabs before in 2021 but now I joined stuff that had actual scale and it was neat to see. The Bomberman Collab I particularly enjoyed as I found some new people along the way. It was an experience I would like to relive.


          May - Across the Radio Frequencies


            Around May 2023, I wanted a new wallpaper, and putting 2 and 2 together I made myself an all-new wallpaper. NGL I really like how experimental this was for me. It stands out a lot compared to the rest of my gallery.


            June - Almost like Brothers


              For June I decided to remake an older drawing of mine that I felt like had some major potential to it. That being the 2021 Almost like Brothers drawing. NGL I really like how the remake turned out. It's goofy, silly, but also fun.


              July - Bothered Basterd (Artfight)


                Artfight Year 2 was a little weaker than year 1 but still had some great pieces. Out of all of them this one is my favorite. It was a little hard to choose but that one is my favorite since I liked drawing the character in question, Dust Bunny.


                August - Super Nilla's Coffee Mania


                  FizzyRizz could not get a real job, so he had to gamble all of his money to Super Nilla's Coffee Mania. 


                  September - Pyoro leaks Nintendo's files

                  https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/spaceymcspacer/pyoro-leaks-nintendo-s-files


                  So remember that saga on Twitter where this Pyoro Twitter account leaked a Nintendo Direct? Yeah this drawing is based off that. NGL Pyoro is a fun character to draw, and the drawing turned out great.


                  October - Secret Monster Collab Tristone - The Princess (The Princess Society)


                    Now this is another art event I participated in. I enjoyed this drawing pretty well but once again it's the vibe of collaboration that made this one. So yeah, nothing much else to say. 


                    November - 2 Decades of Hominid


                      So, did you know that 2 Alien Hominid games came out in November 2023? Yeah I celebrated it with this drawing. It was a lot of commitment but the effort was worth it, since I honestly consider it the best drawing I made this year.


                      December - A random Mushly


                      Yeah, I drew some dumb Mushly here since I wanted to do one last thing but I was too lazy lmfao.


                      -----


                      I don't have any advanced thoughts on 2023's art tbh, it was another year filled with improvements. If there is something, in particular, I enjoyed a lot compared to previous years, it was the collabs I participated in. Even if I hate how the art community acts a lot of the time, I still have to admit that when artists come together to celebrate something, it can make for a fun experience. The only other thing I have to say is that I hope real life doesn't get in the way of my hobbies since I still really like doing art even if it can be hard to fit it in sometimes. That is all I have to say really. See y'all in 2024!
