not gonna lie, most of these are Percy Jackson fanart from the time I was completely obsessed with it, so bear with me.

1-2: Nico di Angelo

3: Reyna Ramirez and Hazel Levesque

4-5: Clarisse La Rue and Silena Beauregard, you can't convince me they weren't gay and in love. (fun fact: around the end of the year (2022) I actually started a half serious, half humouristic article about their queer coding and how it mirrored other works, as well as queerness depicted in ancient greece inspired media and so on, and so on. Who knows whether I'll be able to finish it someday, lol

6: Juniper (yknow, Grover's tree girlfriend who got less than 6 pages or whatnot of screentime in the original saga)

7: Jason Grace and Leo Valdez. Another fun fact: I have almost 80 fics of them bookmarked in my ao3 account.

8-9: random practices, from top to bottom and left to right, we have:

• Face practice

• Nico and Will doing gay shit (as usual)

• Hand practice

• Will Solace

• Face practice n2

• Face practice n3

• Tiny Leo Valdez

• Big Watercolored Nico

• Thetis

• Random hair(?) practice

10: I just really love Thalia Grace

11: finally some variety! this is Megaera, from the Hades game

12: OC

13: Begonia from Countdown to Countdown, which is a really good on-going webcomic with awesome art direction, a badass backstory, immersing world building and Begonia. And also flower people. You should definitely read it you know. Access ctccomic.com/comic/000 NOW.

That was all. In general I'd say I improved on my anatomy (just barely lol) and actually learned how to watercolor since last year. But that's about it really. It certainly is sad to think I'll probably never be able to replicate some of the details I incorporated into some of those, since it's been a while I've drawn with just pencils, and I'll definitely not be able to relearn how to make lines look so soft like that again, but I'll try
