RetroDeath's 2015 year of art summary!

Description

In 2014, for about 6 months art kinda died with me, no drive, no fun, no nothing. This is the reason January is empty, I only started drawing again in January, slowly, I got the fun back and 2015 was amazing for me art wise!! Now even though June and November are empty (I don't count January) I still wanted to upload this because in several other months such as May I actually drew 3 pieces. In general, in 2015, I got the fun back into drawing and I hope that I can make 2016 into an even better year! I accomplished a lot of things in 2015, new techniques, new OCs and new collaborations. It was a good year.

January: x
Art was still dead this month.

February: fav.me/d8huh5v
Cavea's birthday is what made me start drawing again, the gift I drew for her was the spark that got me
the fun back into my art. (Thank you for being there Cavea!)

March: fav.me/d8n4gts
My contest entry for a Super Smash Bros for Wii U contest where you had to draw your 3 favourite characters,
have one taunt and have one use an item not from his own game.

April: fav.me/d8qkjs0
Part of my BIA series, a series I started where I could not spend more than 3 days approx. on a simple character.
This is temmybanana's Toxic Zara, part of my 'Back Into Art' series which I will definitely do more for in 2016!

May: fav.me/d8tmfi1
Bob Buttons! I wanted to create more OC characters and this dude happened, I am so damn happy with him and I want to draw more of him.
I even created him his own group here on dA that I want to expand upon in 2016. I love this dude so much!

June: x
This is one of those months where I didn't upload anything but where the month before I made 3 pieces so it's not a sign
of going slower, just a bad coincidence that none fell into this specific time frame.

July: fav.me/d929hqc
I spend the whole month of July on purpose creating the new Metal Style Logo for my RetroDeath Youtube channel ,it took me about 2 weeks to design it and finish it.

August: fav.me/d95z2a0
Another thing I have wanted to draw for so long, I made a huge list of characters that I wanted to add to my BIA series and David the Gnome
was part of that. Really happy with how it turned out. It's this specific scene that I had in my head for a long time already.

September: fav.me/d98s3jk
One of my dream collaborations! I did the outline and Cavea did the colouring from one of our favourite games ever, Splatoon on the Wii U. Not only that but we've been playing the game together online for months and months. It's my game of the year for 2015 even! I'm so proud of this artwork, there are not enough words to describe it.

October: fav.me/d9bykou
Another contest entry, for the battle Chasers video game via kickstarter this time. And even though I didn't win, I am so happy with this guy. An incredible new OC came out of this contest and the fun I had while designing him and drawing him was almost an adrenaline rush!

November: x
This is the only month where I didn't have anything because I got into a massive gaming phase so I started drawing less. I did doodle a lot for another project but that's nothing I want to add here yet. I was actively drawing, just more behind the scenes.

December: fav.me/d9lledh
For my youtube channel I'm working on a Zelda video, I'm using a lot of doodles in that, 2 or 3 of those doodles turned out so well that I wanted to make complete artworks out of them. This s one of those, a scene that  I have been wanting to draw for years by now.

I'm not biased at all (honest!!...) but February is my favourite and I love it! :iconlainloveplz:

Also I hope to see more of Bob and that concept in the new year. <3
