24-year redraw. :facepalm:



Full image and old version behind cut. Under the wire!




I couldn't finish this tonight but I think the concept is there. :p Ink and wash, mostly.

The old one was from 2000 when I was in uni, so literally 24 years ago lol.



This was probably the best piece I produced that entire year. I had no idea how to draw people AT ALL in any view but front-on or profile. :p There was A LOT of "we're going to hide the hands in various ways because we can't draw hands!" :p The proportions are weird. I still like the basic color scheme though.

Also, the OC was left-handed but with the benefit of having FENCED, I cannot figure out what the absolute heck he is doing with his dagger grip. :p

This was also around when I was trying to learn to draw from shoujo anime, so he's not actually supposed to look like he's thirteen lol.

This was done with ink and watercolor pencil.

Thank you! I think I'd like to preserve most of the color scheme, but with watercolor I planned on building up the saturation in layers and I ran out of time. XD

It's heartening to know that after 24 years SOMETHING got better hahahahaha. :D :D
