Hello! Happy New Year! I know it’s late but NGL I feel like 2025 is not over yet.. and 2026 hasn’t really rolled in. This is normal though and I do treat any awkward dates before the CNY as the inbetween-years. I usually use this to recalibrate and declutter my stuff.
Anyways, since I have this space, I’m sharing my 2026 art goals for you!
1. Finish drawing Arcadia, Rumendale, and Sangria Falls’ map
They’re part of my story locations and I hope to dish out more lore and map for them so I can further develop their stories. So far I’ve spent my first 2026 days revving up the reference sheets of Sangria Falls’ Critters as well as trying to use up all of my unused MYOs though some spaces don’t really deserve the hassle.
2. Limit active CS/ARPG to 3 maximum
I have yet to decide which which, but I’m in at least 5 of them and while I love all of
ocs that are associated with each spaces, I think it’s best if I stick to a few and pour my focus on them.
3. Learn isometric art
I have been enjoying isometric room 3D sticker puzzles and I wish to be able to draw them for my characters. I just know it’s gonna be so cute!
4. Learn pixel art
Need I say the reason why? They’re just the coziest cutest type of art there is and I only wish to be able to learn to do it!
5. No new ocs other than my own designs
Throughout the year I have learned that I connect more with my own designed ocs as opposed to those designed by others. I think I just love the freedom that comes with it.
Goals aside, I’m so happy with my art improvement especially in regards to furries and critters!

| New updated reference I did for the same character in 2026 |
Seeing the new reference was so satisfying I ended up making more for my other ocs.. I do plan on having them as part of my commission menu but I need to make more for my humanoids and kemonomimis!
Honestly one of the good thing with toyhouse is I get to see old art and be happy with the improvement I made.. I hope my art continue to improve. I want to draw more art ‘just because’ not for prompts, not for comms samples, not for raffles but simply because I want to!
Thanks for reading! Next post I’ll talk about upcoming art ychs, bases and outfits!
PS: I want to make a blogpost solely dedicated to review the cs spaces I was or am in but idk if it’s necessary or if anyone would be interested. Or if you want to see tips and such or other things I’m open to share what I know and learnt.
