Updates
First off, thank you to everyone that stopped by my page last month to wish me a happy birthday. And a special thanks to the people who kindly created art for the occasion. I ended up having a nice relaxing day, spending time with my family and enjoying my birthday gifts (mainly consisting of DVDs and Rubik's cubes).
Secondly, I hope you all had a good holiday season. Again I had a very relaxing day (and week following) and have been having fun with my Christmas gifts (unsurprisingly, more DVDs and Rubik's cubes ). I also received an awesome EmoteSecretSanta gift from IceXDragon which you can check out below.
Thirdly, it's now 2014 and I can't quite believe it. A happy new year to you all. I've sadly started off the year in a slightly 'meh' way with a bit of a cold and dodgy ankle, but I'm thinking positive about the year ahead.
As for 2013, it has been a very odd year for me. Offline, nothing quite seemed to go to plan, but I can't say I'm unhappy with where the path lead me. Fingers crossed that the next year is a little less hectic and I manage to tie up a few loose ends and settle down a bit.
Online, the emote community wasn't the most active in 2013, so I'm hoping that things pick up this year. Whilst I don't feel I've made miles of progress as an artist, I'm still very proud of the pieces that I've made and feel that is certainly a positive thing to take away from the last 12 months. I have to say that receiving Deviousness was the highlight of my year and something I will never forget.
Features from 2013
As I mentioned above, I've been quite proud of some of the pieces I made over the last year. So I thought I'd take a moment to reflect back on some of my favourite pieces that I made in 2013.
Things to note
I extended the deadline on my EmoticonOpus contest, and there are still a couple of days left to enter. The rules can be found here.
TheEmoteAwards has released its list of categories for 2013 and is now taking nominations. More information in this journal.
