EDIT: Oh, and open for commissions of course! Just follow the link: [link]

I meant featuring time! What? What did you think I mean- ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Whoops!

I'm in a good mood, and since I still have my sub going strong, I might as well get some use out of it (seeing that I haven't done one of these in ages!)!

So here's the deal:

Be one of the first 15 people here and I'll feature my fave 3 pics that you've done so far this year, and what I'm enjoying about your art so far this year.

The stipulations? Make sure you've done at least 3 pics, a-duhhhhhhhhhh! And if this is the first time I'm talking to you in about 2.7 years, don't expect a detailed explanation! That's all, really! Have at it, you crazies!

1.


Things are beginning to happen with his characters. Comic strips are appearing more often, with some new ideas too, and some action is beginning to show up. I look forward to seeing the characters really in action even further this year.

2.


A lot of the pics this year for him have been sketch-based, but a lot of the sketches are still fun to look at (and in the last pic here, even tackling some perspective!) But when the colors DO happen, they're still top-notch as well!

3.


The pics aren't rolling in with frequency, but they're still there thankfully! I've really enjoyed the more fantasy-based GURPS-related comic pages she had done earlier this year! And the comics still retain the hilariously warped sense of humor (not to mention she has one of the better grasps of my cast as well with interpretations!)!

4.


He hasn't been around much pics-wise, but I'll include this to welcome his new account here! Hoping to see more art sometime soon when the confidence comes back!

5.


Like many here, 2012 haas been a bit of a slow year, but the pics posted have been colorful and visually interesting from a design standpoint. I hope to see some of those many various characters in action someday!

6.


It has been a predominantly picture-based set in the gallery for this year, but these three pics best exemplify his knack for making interesting and accurate cars and giving them some wild exterior graphics! Can't wait to see what designs come next!

7.


I've enjoyed her new Briony Deep comic in addition to her usual DiM zaniness, especially the bizarre Stoobo! Her recent takes on my gals have left me pleased as punch (a very dependable and reasonable commission artist), and her new dive into animation has been most impressive!

8.


AM's certainly been one that keeps on chugging, adding a new comic to his already-expansive cast. The standbys, thankfully, haven't been ignored though! The biggest load of fun (and inspiration) has been the HUGE collabs with him and HR, letting us play a lively game of spot-the-toons!

9.


For 2012, most of her pics for the year have been in reference to last year's epic army of Kirby's, but they are put into fun and funny situations! Thankfully, her arts n craft skills are still top-notch when the finished products are shown!

10.


Like many here, there hasn't been a lot of art this year, but the pics posted have been interesting. There's still a fun sense of realism and upscale retro-ism, but a few pics shown here have a slightly cartoonier look to them, and I really how that art style is evolving that way! Either way she wants to go, I'll still enjoy it though.

11.


He's usually a drawing machine, and this year he's been at his average fast pace! A few new characters here and there, and the newest snowboarding contest were the big attractions to see so far this year! The standbys have been ever-present too!

12.


His Voyagers/SoaP comic has been chugging along here and there this year to great visuals, but the animation loops and stories have progressed leaps and bounds from last year as well! Won't be surprised to see these guys on the TV or in a YT series one day.

13.


It's been a tough year for my friend, but she's still posted some sweet n colorful sentiments like the ones above. The realism shown in her bird pics is always astounding, and I hope she has more to smile about in the second half of the year.

14.


He's been remarkably improving in leaps and bounds this year! From fun comic strips to a cute new cavegal character, culminating in a fantastic animation shown above. The hard work and effort is really paying off for him, and I look forward to seeing what's next for his cast!

15.


Very photo-heavy, but the colored sketches have been showing up on an even quality keel. I was thoroughly surprised to see his creative cars n gal tributes to my cast, so that's always appreciated too!

So the lesson in all of the above? It looks like 2012 has been a selectively down year that still has been able to show some signs of improvement with just about everyone here and there. Stagnation is never something to strive for, and it looks like people are doing their best to find and show some inspiration. I certainly hope to see some even more awesome pics from my friends here, I'm thankful to have you all (even in MY down year too!)!

Oh, and I'm doing alright, how 'bout you?
