	If you participated last year, how do you think you did in comparison? I liked this years event a lot. very nicely sorted and there was more chitchat than last years had. which was nice^^ also loved the more varied theme choices. deff had more trouble finishing this year that i have in the past tho XD Did you feel successful by the end? Yes?... i got lazy and finished way slower than i wanted but im done woohooo Do you see your own improvement from any work you did last year? not really style/technique wise... but i tried a few themes i wouldnt have otherwise which was enjoyable. What hurdles did you face? im having a baby in like 2 weeks... i overestimated my ability to sit at my desk so long and kept falling behind lololol rofl What piece are you most proud of? hmmmm probably my DTIYS style sushi bear character.... but ive liked how almost all of them came out this year. I really tried to stay in a consistent coloring/shading style this time so they look more matchy matchy. super excited for next year! blaugh

	Can't believe I got 99/100 completed on time crying I WAS FIFTEEN MINUTES LATE gonk emo oh well 8\| If you participated last year, how do you think you did in comparison? definitely not as much effort as I've put in these last three art events I've done. I mostly just had fun. Pretty glad I completed the story I've been writing for two years during this event though emotion_kirakira I'm hoping to post that story in Tapas.io at some point this year, in its mostly-final draft. Did you feel successful by the end? not necessarily. I'm glad I finished the event, even though my last day was late. I filled out probably 30 pages back and font of this little tiny notepad and that's all I really wanted to do :'3 Do you see your own improvement from any work you did last year? I don't really think my artistic style or skills have improved at all over the last decade. Aaaaaaaaa I feel like I'm being super negative but I don't dislike that my style and skills have stayed the same. I like that I can be steady with what I do. emotion_c8 When I update my old art from years ago, I don't notice any major differences besides maybe proportions? So I suppose I got a little better at that, but I prefer to be told that from others because I honestly like my art so much that it's hard for me to critique it a lot of the time. What hurdles did you face? mostly time management lol I keep thinking I wanna do these events in hard mode but I work, and have somewhat of a life. I could never really have an hour or more a day to put aside for art. I mean... I'm trying to stream a movie to my loser friends on discord at least once a week too. What piece are you most proud of? the drawing of Ruse/Astra(ocs) in pride themed clothing. It's super crispy on the outline but oh well.

	รαҡµ૨α ɠα૨∂εɳ ∂εɱσɳ ·················································· Alright time to do mine I just you know.. had to step away for a day. Turns out that was a terrible idea because I somehow got myself in trouble elsewhere! If you participated last year, how do you think you did in comparison? I did much... muuuuch longer pieces. I had a ton of 2+ 3+ 4+ hour days and even one I spent all day on. I'm surprised I had 2 passes left but I really bitched out there at the end I was so tired of it. I'm always tired of it at the end Did you feel successful by the end? I think so! I got to fall in love with that pencil tool in Krita I use to hate for some reason. It's such a nice texture and look. Do you see your own improvement from any work you did last year? Considering I drew 14 pieces for the actual event last year.. yes! What hurdles did you face? Art wise I struggle with color so bad. I know this isn't entirely my fault since I have some eye stuff hindering hues/shades but I really block out color theory because so many times in actual classes it's the most boring st ever. And I have ADHD. And I can't listen to this. And it's not engaging. I'd rather Cabbie just summarize the things she's learned in a quick burst Cabbie carry me!! What piece are you most proud of? Honestly probably day 92. I was really proud of making that realistic cup of tea hahah ··················································** ㊦㊚

	All right, I'm less busy now so here I go: If you participated last year, how do you think you did in comparison? I think I did tons better than last year. Last year it looked like I played it pretty safe but this year, I went out of my comfort zone time and time again, doing things that I didn't necessarily want to and ending up liking the result. I also didn't let my de-motivation get to me and I'm very happy with that. Did you feel successful by the end? Absolutely! Having only missed 3 days this year is huge on its own and I feel super accomplished and proud of myself. Do you see your own improvement from any work you did last year? Yes, my proportions, my coloring, my abilities, and all that have improved a ton. And of course my own mindset about my work has changed too. What hurdles did you face? Mostly tiredness or de-motivation after a long day at work. That was really hard on me, and many times I asked myself, "man should I use a pass today?" but persevered and ended up making nice art despite initially reluctant to draw. What piece are you most proud of? I have two for this one. Day 80 (the improvement watercolor) and Day 87 (the whale piece). I wasn't sure how much I had improved since 5 years ago, but it's night and day. It made me feel a lot better about my journey and how far I've come. And day 87 was basically a testament to that, showing me that I really have improved with my anatomy, coloring, sense of composition, etc.

	★ If you participated last year, how do you think you did in comparison? tab Uhh about the same? I still drew each day... I just didn't post each day. ★ Did you feel successful by the end? tab Hmmm nah. I had some personal art goals I didn't meet. One reason I went ghost this year was to go “off theme” for once. I ended up playing it safe, lazy, and braindead and stuck to themes 99/100 days. XD (... But I like seeing everyone's takes on the same themes so I felt more connected to the event that way.) I also drew a lot of simple st (which... was one of the goals, but I didn't meet other goals). ★ Do you see your own improvement from any work you did last year? tab** I can't compare this year's art to any prior years. I usually put 30+ mins into each day's submission(s). (I bet I spent less time on some of the ghost pieces here and there.) This was the first year I allowed myself to draw what I wanted and not worry about whether it'd fill time. It was freeing My art varies too greatly depending on time I put into it. Esp this event art. (I get that's true for the majority of people.) I try to set up more complicated drawings to make sure to fill 30 mins. And if/when that fails, I end up adding more flair (extra sparkles, shading, rim lighting, etc) to just fill the time. XD So a lot of my older art is full of sparkles and glow and extra markings XD ...and not because I wanted that from the start. I just don’t feel like I can compare this year’s simplistic art to the more complicated and/or sparkly art. I did Hard Mode last year and Ghost Mode this year. That said, some of my 2023 art surprised me that they filled 30 mins... Those same pieces wouldn't take me 30 mins now. ★ What hurdles did you face? tab The usual time management and fatigue at the end of the day. Alsooooo coming up with new ideas when too exhausted to think. All I think of are the same ideas that I already drew other years. And I don't want to redraw them. I need to prep some inspiration to turn to for next year. ★ What piece are you most proud of? tab Hmmm I can't say I'm proud of any of the art I did this year. XD I'd only be proud if I drew something I didn't think I could pull off. But I knew I'd be able to draw everything I drew this year, even my experimental stuff. shrug That said, I guess my fav is the stack of peanut butter cups I replicated. I loved how the shine on the chocolate syrup drizzle worked out.
