Thank you all for following me and commenting on my works this year. I read every single one and enjoy a lot reading your comments and reactions when I upload a new fanart.
This year I've drawn a fancomic (Dream), and some comic strips (Hulk Fashion and Love Bites), which is less than I did on 2011, but at least I drew a 24-page doujin for the "Behind the Mask" anthology, which is a great achievement for me. I'm very proud of "Our Window", it's grown very close to my heart. I contributed a lot to Deja Blue, it was an amazing experience and I've accepted be part of the circle for future projects.
This year I've also drawn a lot of fanarts of Teddy and Billy, and I don't regret that one bit. I've enjoyed drawing them. I've had good experiences, drawing the AUs, the 30-day meme (which I want to pick up where I left off), role switch, and even the polemic body hair on Billy.
I had a moment while I was drawing the doujin, where Billy had a scruffy beard, and it was like a revelation, to draw him hairy. And even though I've received some negative comments, I'm still in love with the idea.
I've also participated for the first time in the 24 Hour Comics Day, it was a great experience but I don't think I'll do it again, I'm not prepared for such a challenge XD
I was thinking of sharing that comic for Christmas, but I've run into some difficulties, I hope I can share it when I'm done with the comissions. Sorry for the wait.
Thanks a lot for the huge support I received with the issue of rude people posting fanarts without proper credit. I'm really grateful, without you it wouldn't have been possible, I hope they've stopped uploading my work to the internet.
This year I opened an online shop for the first time, where my followers can buy my work in high quality prints. Thanks to those who bought anything, I hope you're happy with your purchases. I'e also drawn with copics, and people liked them and bought them via ebay, or got them through in my giveaway.
Thanks to those who kept me company during the livestreams, I had a lot of fun chatting, with your stories and annecdotes. I love chatting while I draw. Thanks to those who braved google translate just to communicate with me (sometimes it comes out really funny!), and I hope you'll continue trying hehehe! I'll keep on doing livestreams during 2013.
The Young Avengers fandom has grown a lot this year, I've met a lot of fantastic new people (fanartists and writers), some of them have become very dear friends. Thanks to the people who've sent me such wonderful gifts during the year!
The only thing I'm sad about is Tsukuro's and my webcomic, Unlucky, which won't be updating anymore. It was an experiment that didn't come out very well, but I've learnt a lot from it, and it was a great experience for both of us. Thanks to those who read and commented on it.
This coming year will have the new Young Avengers series, with new characters, and possibly new fans! hehehe! I hope to continue enjoying this comic.
I don't have great plans for the new year, I prefer to come up with them on the way. I hope to continue sharing and laughing and crying with fanarts and fanfics this year.
One last thing,
I wish you all a very happy new year, and a very excelent 2013! Have good health, good luck on your jobs/studies and family/relationships.
