2010


2011


I can't believe I ever thought the other one was good now, y'know

This is a nice idea. Many artists are too hard on themselves improvement-wise. (Including this one, haha~)

Here's one of mine I redid a while back. Used even the exact same tools! (Just because while tools are awesome, it's cool to see how much *you* have improved, not your materials.)

Trying to show the progression of how I draw Ichiwa, since she's been around a long time. The first two were before she existed, though.

Spoiler! :

9 years ago. Keep in mind I'd just started drawing and liked anime. That pretty much sums it up.
8 years
7 years
6 years
5 years?
2 years

To be honest, I think that second one was a momentary lapse into actual artistic skill cause I sure as hell couldn't do that again.

Hrm. Let's see.

2011

Spoiler! :

Not that the new one is insanely amazing (or even something I spent a lot of time on), but yeah, it was a redraw I did this year XD

[Rivana]

I am not exactly sure if I improved within a year at this point, kinda makes me sad lol

I'm actually revising the art on my webcomic since it's been 4 years, so the first chapters have really outdated art.
So here's some of the results:


The panel on the left was drawn in 2008 and the one on the right was drawn in late 2011.

Later in early 2011 (yes he changed quite a bit and the earlier one was barely visible since I had to use allot of Photoshop effects to make up for the horrible line art):

Spoiler! :

Oh well I haven't done enough detailed artwork recently to show off properly. Still I've been enjoying a more cartoony style recently.
