HEYAA! The time has come for me to FINALLY share my favorite Illustration of 2024! <3 And honestly, this may just be my favorite illustration I've done, period, and I am yet to live up to it haha it's just so cozy, I love drawing rain <3

In retrospect, I wish I messed up Rick's hair more hahah, he should be SOAKING, but I'm pretending he just gelled it up to heaven here lmao

I'm gonna be sharing more stuff next week I hope, I'm currently speedrunning the crow dance animation and the ice skating comics so I get to start on some new things by the end of next week! Book III edit is also getting super close to being finished! I'm editing the part where Rick essentially finds out half of his life was a lie and his delusions were kinda sorta real and not actually delusions (at least not all of them, which makes this ten times worse) and it's... a lot haha, the Kostrov Traces has a really fucked up ending :,)

I hope you've all been well! We're super close to hitting a 100 members here which is soo crazy, thank you all so much T.T <3

Oh my gooosh 🥰🥹❤️ this makes me so happy you have no idea!! I'm soso glad you like them so much! They're so meaningful to me so whenever I see them get love, my heart just grows ten times the size 🥹❤️ And ahh I'm so glad you noticed the light thing!! I always feel like these subtle side lights almost give things more life than straight head on light ❤️❤️

I feel like I’ve just met these two less than even a full minute ago even though I’ve been lurking around the tiktok channel for a while now and I love them both dearly already. <3 Also I love that they’re both on the darker side of the street while the light is shining on their opposite side from farther away. Love it!

Thank you soo so much omg! 🥰❤️❤️ i'm sooo glad you like it!! And oh my goodness the lightwork was soo fun to do on this specific work, I just loce the contrast between the blue cold night and the warm street lighting 🥹❤️ i'm so glad it looks nice!! And actually no! He just progressively started seeing worse because of age, though I'd definitely argue that the head trauma did make him lose his vision slightly earlier than he perhaps would have had he not have it at all. He started wearing glasses after he turned like 38-39 so he was getting up there in dad age already by that point haha ❤️

Okay, I totally get why this is your favourite artwork of the year because it’s truly ASTOUNDING- the rendering here is ✨delectable✨ and I gotta say, I love the way FJ’s glasses are reflecting the street lights 💕 That little bit of colour looks so incredibly cool the way you captured it bouncing off from the ground!! And I completely agree with what you said, rain is so enjoyable to draw! 🥹❤️🌧️ Also also- this is a completely random question, but did FJ wear glasses before the head trauma/amnesia? Or is his vision loss related to the injury?
