Statue

March 21, 2023
I haven't had much free time to draw lately, but in the meantime I've gotten carried away with touching up old artworks. I wanted to see if I could fix an artwork I dislike, and so far, I am super happy with the results! This artwork is originally from 2014, AKA what I call the dark ages. 

The other reason for touching up older artworks is because there are some things I miss. The goal is to bring back elements of my old style with the new. I will use these edits as a reference for future artworks. 

Here's the original: sta.sh/0vg8znq822w I would love to hear your thoughts on Now versus then. 

And now, enjoy this time capsule of a Deviantart description:

This was literally called the "january pic" because you know, I wanted to draw+finish it in *January*. Aaaaaaaaaand it's almost April.

I finished most of this in January but due to lack of interest or motivation, it took two more months to finish it. It was just a really huge SAI file and I would only work on it for like 5-10 minutes before losing interest and giving up XD;; Ngl I really did not enjoy working on this at all. Which sucks because I usually love working on this kind of stuff.

Also added on with the guilt of putting off art I've owed people for months and I feel the need to justify myself any time I draw something now. What have I become...
But in any case it's nice to have something to actually upload to DA for once hahaha

Thank you GotNoJob for pointing out that I drew both of the middle statue's hands on backwards XD I normally don't go back to fix mistakes but this was just unacceptable
The hands still look horrible but at least it looks better than before hahaha
