2015 was a really good year for me! I met a ton of new people, played good games, and did a lot of new stuff. Here's a small recap of my favorite things from along the year.

I spent my winter holidays in Helsinki and got to enjoy a proper white snowy winter before returning to wet Scotland.

I moved in with my current flatmate and his zoo of pets (three rabbits and a dog) in January and living with him has been a blast.

Took a trip to London in March to attend the Indie Game Conference with Matt. Met a bunch of cool people and had a blast, would love to go again!

Finished my first year in uni, passed my modules and am no longer an ickle wee firstie.

Summer was a really good one with a warm spring in Glasgow, living together with Matt at his place for a while, and travelling to Finland together for some proper sunshine and summertime storms.

I picked up drawing again, begun learning how to utilize Photoshop for it, and started posting my drawings online!

Unlike last year, I stayed in Scotland for the winter holidays and I'm full on missing the snow now.

Over the year on three different occasions I had a total of six friends come visit me, and these were some great times. I hope I'll be getting visits next year as well!

Some of the most memorable and enjoyable games I played this year (not necessarily released in 2015) include Undertale, Ori and the Bling Forest, Life Is Strange, The Talos Principle, Journey, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Shovel Knight, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Her Story.

A few things I'm looking forward to in 2016 is moving again, drawing more more more, cool videogames and new challenges. Let's do thisss!

Happy New Year everyone!

Hey guys!

I've never really written a blog/ public journal before so this is a bit weird for me, but people keep telling me I should so here goes.

I've liked drawing for forever, but I never got properly into it, and I don't have much to show from previous years as I had a bad tendency to never really finish anything. Most of my drawing was just doodling on the corners of opened mail and drawing birthday cards for close friends. Earlier this year I started getting back into drawing again after a bit of a pause and I got encouraged to put my stuff up here on DA. Suuper scary for the first time.

So far I'm using Photoshop to finish sketches that I do on paper. I'm a total beginner with PS and making the fairly simple stuff I do still takes me aaaages. But I'm getting better. Lately I've been looking into the tools I'm using a bit more to learn how to use them more efficiently and I've been trying to learn how to make my lines a bit smoother. Stylus on tablet just feels so different from pen on paper.

For now I'm looking to improve my PS skills and to become faster and more confident. You can expect me to continue making cute fanart with boobs and butts at the least, but so far all I can draw is girls so we'll see if I end up widening my range into other stuff as well. 

This is all still kind of weird and scary, but I'm sort of getting into it.
