Happy Anniversary Ikkuyo!

Dear Deviants,

As the title goes, my one year anniversary on DA passed on January 1st! I really tried hard to get some art in on time to celebrate but unfortunately I wasn't able to meet my deadline due to real life circumstances so I kind of rushed this and some spots got a little sloppy! TT ^ TT (haha softer shading is definitely not my thing! I thing I need to go back to cel shading! XD) This whole year has been such a great experience for me with my art. Looking back to my first post, I think I might have improved a little bit and any improvement is good in my book! 

For the new year, I would like to  take my style further! Meaning more complex pieces or even full pieces to share with you! Coloring has never been a forte of mine but this year will be full of even more experimenting and I hope that you as my dear watchers will be able to stick it through and continue to support me as I continue to grow and learn!

To celebrate my anniversary, based on my poll on 1000+ watchers celebration, the results were really close so I've decided to host a contest/raffle! I hope you will be able to join! If you're interested, please wait for updates! I hope to give out big prizes! ^ v ^ 

Happy new year everyone! Thanks again for all of your support!

Love,
ikkuyo
