Let’s look back together:

47 YCHs – fewer than last year
and 20 commissions
and 20 commissions
Biggest order: $350 for a bundle of 3 YCHs
FA grew by 249, X by 1038
honestly surprised at the number, every day doing our jobs we take it as a norm and it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's actually a huge number
I've been doing a lot to bring the community to myself, but overall I've decided to do what I love and be more than just a comms artist
There was a lot of burnout and mistakes, but your support helped to move on
Challenge of the year:
13 OCs from you for "Draw your OC in this challenge"
Most unique order:
Assets creating for a visual novel game
It was a first step into a new world - gamedev
It was a first step into a new world - gamedev

Year in numbers:
3568 favs on FA
12248 likes on X
40 Patreon posts
12248 likes on X

The most important day
Nov 11.
On that day I announced I was stopping the creation of new YCH for sale and partially closing commissions.
Of course, it was hard for me and I lost almost all my orders, but I am happy that I did it.
Do you miss them?
