2009 art roundup
There wasn't a lot this year, not even if I count all drawbles and icons and such, i.e. I can't even do the meme thing with the squares of one preview picture for every month.
January
a Numb3rs Don and Charlie ratcreature icon
February
Nothing. :(
March
Diricawl (Harry Potter fanart)
April
a fail! ratcreature icon
May
Five drawbles: 1-3, 4, 5
Robin (DC fanart)
Nightwing (DC fanart)
June
an Uhura ratcreature icon
a weird comment doodle for Kass' story Zygote (SGA/Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex* (but were afraid to ask) fusion fanart)
Star Trek Reboot art meme (Star Trek: Reboot fanart)
July
Nothing. :(
August
Nothing. :(
September
Nothing. :(
October
Nothing. :(
November
Nothing. :(
(I did work on my Yuletart assignment that month, though I only finished in December with an extension)
December
Twelve drawbles: 1-6, 7-10, 11-12
Santa!Cthulhu
and the not yet revealed
yuletart art.
This is even less than 2008, and it's not like I was prolific then. I suck. :(

Sweetie!
I'm sorry you didn't meet your standards for output this year, but it saddens me to see you being so harsh with yourself about it...
Re: Sweetie!
I know that the only way to get better is to practice, and considering what some people who are actually paid to draw produce I also realize intellectually that my drawings could be worse (I mean just recently someone on my flist again linked to a blog post titled The Worst Rob Liefeld drawings, and those are truly scarring and not in a good edgy art way), but that doesn't help with feeling like a failure, simply because my drawings never look like I want them to, but I am just not skilled enough to make the image on the paper match the ideas in my head. I mean, it is weird perfectionism of the most irrational and unhelpful kind, that doesn't even inspire me to try harder or anything, but it is not as if you can turn your neuroses off unfortunately.
FWIW
It doesn't stop the stupid self-criticism, but it does make me finish more things.
Be nice to yourself when you can!
