2021 art summary

A very raptor-full year. I don't think I even drew any non-raptor dinosaurs, though a few humans and other non-dinosaurs did still manage to sneak in.

I took on a couple of a bit bigger projects, after finishing the a bit bigger comic project continued from last year. Meeting is a shorter comic than Collision, but it's the second-longest dino comic I've made so far, and in full colour. The figure repaints were not as plentiful in numbers, but they did take enough work that I pretty much spent the entirety of August on them with little time for other art things, and I'm really happy with how they turned out, especially considering they include my first tries at articulated joints. I also made another dino figure from scratch; a very small one, but miniature things are a challenge of its own kind. I'm pleased with the amount of feathered raptors I got to draw this year, too, and I think I've gotten better at those. I also finally finished a text-only story again.
