2017 is coming to an end and I gotta say, I am quite happy that it's over. This year has probably been the most taxing one in my life and I suppose it's fitting that I'm there to send it off while having a headache and suffering from a cold. On the bright side, my studies are completed, I have successfully weaned myself off of Star Wars (I'll still rewatch the old movies in their unaltered, original forms and revisit classic Expanded Universe material that I already own, but there's no fucking way I'll financially support the franchise in its current form) and... uh... well, I couldn't think of a third thing to mention here. I guess that's saying a lot about this year.
Because of my current state, I have not been able to finish the actual New Year's Eve picture I was hoping to post. While I've completed inking it, there's still colouring and shading to be done, and I just didn't have the energy to finish it in time. Thus, you'll instead have to deal with a regular release in its place.
Two years ago, I finally watched Hey Arnold! for the first time in my life and after binging on all of the seasons and the movie, I gotta say it's a great fucking show and a top contender for being one of the greatest cartoon shows of all time. Because of my late arrival to the scene, I was stuck with immense luck by having to wait only two years to see The Jungle Movie (which I saw last week and loved; a review might follow soon-ish). When it was first teased, the hype started immediately and HA! threads were popping up all over /co/. In one of these threads, there was a poster who lamented the lack of, and I quote, "/fit/ Olga fan art," and suggested that "she probably has the body of a model with all the awards she has." Well, I happened to see that post and I screencapped it as a reminder and a motivator. What you see here is a drawing that was partially inspired by it, as well as screencaps from TJM that showed Olga looking a lot more sluttier than usual and also appearing to be very flirtatious. There are also somewhere around 5–6 Olga sketches I made earlier this year, and these will be eventually finished, hopefully during next year.
So anyway, that's all I really had to say. Have a safe and a happy 2018, everyone! You'll get the proper celebratory pic hopefully next week.
