#Drawings - 2021 recap!

Happy New Year 2022 everyone!!

I might repeat myself, but I hope 2022's better than whatever 2021 was...
Time for another "Summary of Art" year recap!
This year I used this new template courtesy from this author: twitter.com/mossygator_/status…

As always, I tried to cover several important points and moments from the year.


January - The year started with my new gobbo (and ended with more gobbos), so in a way I could call this "the Year of the Goblin waifu": www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
February - My commission work slowed down a lot this year, I know, and I am deeply sorry. Between computer and then tablet issues, Covid, me not be able to breath much after work.. anyways in february and this december I was able to crunch through a lot of work: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
March - Nothing much in march, so just a little doodle for this month: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
April - Some hype for the new Space Jam made me produce a lot of Looney Tunes art in april: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
May - There's a lot of fun DSC I enjoyed doing this year. Yes, I kept doing my regular daily sketches through all and everything: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
June - For some reason, I've been getting back into Sonic this summer, despite the lack of news this year. I produced a lot of Sonic content this june: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
July - Aquamarine become my go-to SU gal lately. I did a lot this year, I particularly enjoyed this piece: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
August - I did a lot of Naughtidot art as well, such as joining a few MEMEs and trends including this one: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
September - I got back to Gobbos and made a few others: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
October - Halloween was filled with horror films and my regular horror pinups: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
November - I know, I'm kinda cheating here, but I finally finished last year's nanomango+did a whole other 30 pages of comics this year. So much work drawing comic book pages this november... www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…
December - And I couldn't finish the year without any Peridot or my usual Xmas pinups: www.deviantart.com/theeyzmaste…

#Blog The MEGA #GOSEGA Sega celebration post of 2021

So I meant to work on this post this entire year, and finally end up writing this the last two days of 2021..  But at least it's still 2021 so it's technically still the year-long celebration of Sega's 60 years of activity. Aka #GOSEGA

 


This year I didn't bother (yet) with the new consoles. I didn't bother as much with current game releases, outside of compilation collections. I mostly bought and played on old Sega systems. I played a ton of Sega Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis. I had my Saturn sessions here and there. And I kept going back to the Dreamcast whenever.

We started the year getting a brand new Sega system, the Astro City Mini

And while Sonic made his absence ominous this year, aside from teasers, a trailer for a new film and a port of an older title, we got to see the return of famous Sega Classic icons! Such as a new Alex Kidd, 30 years in the making! And we got a new Streets of Rage as well as a remake of Panzer Dragoon! Several new Monster World spiritual successors and updates, like Aisha in Monster World!

I followed the homebrew scene closer to keep an eye on new Mega Drive and Master System titles. (More on that BELOW!)

I also finally grabbed a super-cute Sega Mega Drive Mini. I was able to find locally all editions of the Game Gear Mini.

But I knew this year I had to finally get my hands on all remaining Sega Systems. You see, I started with the Sega Mega Drive (1, then 2), got a Master System and a Saturn later, was here for the launch of Dreamcast. Game Gear, Nomad, heck I even got a Sega Pico at some point. But I noticed I was only missing a few odd iterations (only counting official Sega-licensed systems and partners such as Atari Games and TecToy). 

So I planned and searched for some remaining odd consoles throughout the year. I ordered a Master System 3 from some ebay/Mercado Libre equivalent.

And slowly, piece by piece, I completed the collection.
