Loading Artist Rewind 2021

Wait what? 2021 is over? ALREADY??! :loadWat: Alright, time to reflect.

2021 was a wild ride. Starting with celebrating 10 years of Loading Artist comics.. and then burning out and disappearing.. only to later return with Plucked Up - a side series born out of burnout, rising like a duck from the ashes. :loadGive:

Now I’m back with a renewed sense of where I oughta be spending my time, and with a more loosey-goosey mindset when it comes to making things. I used to obsess with making sure every pixel is “perfect”, spending hours and hours on stuff that, in hindsight, either isn’t even noticeable or worse: made the comic look over-worked or too rigid.

Some of you are probably thinking wtf is this guy on about, his comics never looked pixel perfect … and that’s exactly my point. :loadLaugh:

:loadGoldJ: Anyway, I’ve thought about it and these are my top four favourite Loading Artist comics of 2021 (in no particular order):

But overall, I’d say the comic that really stood out to me this year was the entire Plucked Up series, except it’s hard to compare it to the Loading Artist comics because they’re so different. Like comparing apples to… a longform comic about a duck.

Thank you very much to everyone reading my comics this year, and especially to those who are reading these words right now. With people sticking to social media more and more, the ones who still go the extra mile to visit the site deserve extra acknowledgement, so thank you! :loadWow:

And that’s it for 2021! I’m really looking forward to some of the stuff I have planned next year! In the meantime, you can catch up on all the bonus panels you might’ve missed on my Patreon. :loadLove:

See you in 2022!
