hello. i'm trying to see something here, so please try to make an estimate if you don't remember!! i've mentioned what fandoms i've been into during each year under the cut, for those of you who are war veterans.
you can vote the last option if you don't know me and this poll somehow reached your dash, or if you really aren't sure. if we're friends and we didn't meet because of my art you can just vote the year we met :)
this timeline goes backwards and i used to go by the username chisiuwu until late 2022, for reference.
2024: dungeon meshi, little goody two shoes
2023: fire emblem three houses, revue starlight, gundam the witch from mercury, homestuck, revolutionary girl utena
2022: rwby, revue starlight, project sekai colorful stage, love live sunshine
2021: i did a full huevember of many different characters, deltarune, houseki no kuni, love live sunshine, omori, project sekai colorful stage
2020 - love live nijigasaki, danganronpa, various k-pop groups but mostly iz*one
2019 - fire emblem three houses, various k-pop groups but mostly iz*one and loona
2018 - various k-pop groups but mostly loona
2017 - rwby, love live sunshine
2016 - love live sunshine, love live
you can also send me an ask if you remember why you followed me, but you don't have to. i want to know about dates rather than fandoms, i'm writing a very long retrospective about my own art.

Back in the before times that is 2019, I did the huevember challenge and drew horned characters as my theme. Having gotten into Critical Role hardcore at the time, it included some known tieflings. Let's take a look.
Our guest tieflings from Campaign 1 with Vox Machina!
And of course our Mighty Nein babies!

I really hope this doesn't come across wrong because I don't mean any shade or criticism, just genuinely curious. Why have you progressively muted color in your artwork over the years? Again, I don't mean anything negative. Your artwork is truly gorgeous, and the softer colors suit your style and make it stand out. I'm just genuinely curious since you've mentioned it yourself several times, and I'm someone who struggles with color theory to begin with. Is it a conscious choice, brighter palettes being overstimulating, some combination, etc.? Thank you for sharing your art, and I apologize profusely if this was a bad question to ask.
you're all good! i love sharing my journey. i get this question a lot and all i can really say is uh my brain took color theory a little too seriously and now it can't stop its subconscious descent
basically, once i learned color theory in 2019/2020, my brain hooked onto that concept and could match a lot of colors to a specific hue in the canvas
unfortunately for me, this extended to clip studio paint's UI (and the gray canvas i'd start out with) and it started to influence my palettes. gradually, as i got better with color, the desaturation/low contrast took over because of it. and it just progressively gets worse lol
my old laptop (used 2015–early 2020) had the WORST display for art with insanely inaccurate colors, so i wasn't able to delve too much into less intense palettes until i had gotten my gaming laptop in june 2020. along with that, the UI of my old laptop's clip studio was much lighter and higher contrast than that of its current one
here is a great example of how my art's progressed over time
i think a major pivotal point into my current style (which if you asked me at the time, i would've said nah my style was already desaturated oh boy was it not looking at my art now) was doing huevember, where i had created my own prompts with muted colors. the extreme palette of that event just absolutely set my brain on its path and you can tell by the end of that month (done bottom right first, top left last)
i do find it a lot easier on the eyes, which absolutely is a reason why i still follow it so strongly. i don't do well with bright screens, which is why i ditched the white canvas SO quickly in 2017 when i first started out. funny enough, nowadays i have to turn my brightness up so far just to be able to better see my art ...which absolutely kills my eyes if i switch to my light mode browser or something lol
my art's definitely softened up too since a) switching from pencil to gouache to rectangle brush, and b) colored lineart and then painting over lineart. it's a combination of things, yes but mostly just my brain like to play "match the colors" n all ahaha
that's my ramble 😌 thank you! <3
