Admin Post: Community Check-In for December (Sorry it's a day late, guys)

[goss]

Yesterday was the last day of the month (and year!), and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you?

Did you get a chance to take part in any fandom activities in December, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, New Year's Resolutions, etc.

Also, I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to you guys for your friendship, encouragement and support, and for making this community a joy to be a part of. *hugs everyone* Happy New Year!

oh I love those cards! I always intend to send drawn cards, but usually don't actually get around to it... probably because I'm often blowing it into more of a project than it needs to be, ahah. (One year... my attempt to do custom cards turned into doing 8x11 marker illustrations for friends which was. Too Much.) I should try something simple like yours and goss's watercolor ones next year.

Curious about Rebelle 2, too, I've never heard of it before. I've tried ArtRage and Corel Painter, both of which are also meant to be very traditional-media-esque, too, but I'm afraid I was mostly confused by them, ahah. I use Clip Studio Paint, which is also cheap/often on sale for as low as $20, though, which has some real media mimicking tools too. I love the brush engine on it.

Rebelle was pretty eas6 to use, but the more complex drip and bloom water colour effects take more practice I think.
