Old picture from 2021:

obviously the new one was a quick excercise but my husband likes it so

the newer one is a quick experiment and the older one took me months jic that isnt clear. the BG is really not that important to me

I like both but I like the newer one better

dropitlikeitshod: thank u ;0; can you elaborate on why if that's okay to ask?

I like the sketchy...ness. Quality?

If that makes sense?

That looks awesome. I like the rethink of my OC’s wolf friend.

But wow... 2021. That long ago. Man...

dropitlikeitshod: I think that makes sense, it was definitely the goal so thank you for seeing it

Sheleeta: I know right... So much has gone on since!

I can't remember seeing the original (not that that means much) but the lighting is absolutely fantastic!

i think the newer one is cuter but the older one has more defined/dramatic lighting

hmmm... i like the older one better

thank you all, i definitely see what you all mean!

its not about liking one more than the other, its about comparing a 30 min exercise in 2024 vs a thing that took him months to achieve a similar concept. ofc the new one appears cuter but that's not remotely the point

its about the improvement in painting things, and im sure if he remade the whole thing the results now would be way, way better

^ that is a pretty key difference!

pandaconnoiseur: I hate u for making me feel better about my progress, how dare u /j

Exacerangutan: it's like my brain refuses to listen idk why
