10 Pencil and Inks! (NSFW)

Firstly, this month got away from me hard. The holiday season is always chaotic, and there's a lot of ugly depressing stuff around now for me, so I tend to withdraw some. So late 'Happy Holidays!' to all of you! And, while we're at it, Happy New Years, too! Thank you all so much for all your support this year, it's helped more than I feel like I can express. Being able to support myself with my art has been my lifelong dream, and with stuff like AI art becoming so popular, it's been kind of scary. You all have directly made sure that I can do this though, and I'm SO grateful.

As for the art: I ended up having to get smooth bristol as I started running low on my velum bristol that I normally work on, and it's more well suited for ink than pencil (it still works for pencil and allows for some insanely smooth shading, so that's fun), so I felt compelled to pull out my india ink, brush, and dip-pen for a few of these, and I have no idea why I haven't been doing that this whole time. I forgot how much I love drawing with that toolkit. I also have several color pieces that I still need to scan and clean up. I'll try to get those up later today or tomorrow. Scanning the monochrome pieces took a lot longer than I feel like it should have, so we'll see. I plan on doing a sale in a couple of days, too. Probably on the 2nd, since tomorrow is New Years, and I don't want anyone having to stop their family gatherings or whatever just to look at my work.

Thank you all again, just so so very much. I think in this last year I've honestly improved as an artist in some measurable ways, and I intend to keep going in that direction into the new year.
