2022 (x2) vs. 2025

Old vs. New

This is why I redraw things after so many years or months- and why YOU should too! ✨😄

It’s such a great way to measure progress. I couldn’t render 3D drawings for shit back in 2021 or 2022. My most recent painting of Yvaren is so lively and warm! And my anime drawings keep improving too! Never ever give up on your passions. Keep trying, keep going! Look with curiosity at other art around you and you’ll accomplish everything you want and go beyond! 💪

Keep. Going. 🌟 You can do it!

Progress in my art the first pic is from 2014-2015 and the second on is today 1/7/2017. What do you think?

a redo of a drawing i made three years ago!

i hope it's obvious which one is the new one o-o

I'm back at it makin' soup + it's some big soup. A big four part soup cause I wanted to show a couple alone. 😜 This purple string bean I made fanart of cause I was inspired by my friend. At least attempted to sorta mimic. ✨️

I wanted to try the long boi in some sketches 💜 ✨️ I'll try him again another time but here's what I got.

Since I finished it quite recently. I did some fanart of The Dragon Prince. Specifically, Soren.✨️

I think I accomplished something + made some progress. 👍✨️🌸

I wanted to try a little anime inspired design.

Another old piece that redid. This one is a fresh new mango 🥭 ✨️😅 I was trying to be more realistic with my art. Or at least try to. Painting skin is hard 😩

And yet another Saturday-upload that was planned as a Friday. And the one thing this week that was planned for a set deadline and didn’t actually meet it.

But last year I did a random Winter-Max-thing and I thought it was fun how much I got right with the release of Double Exposure. That green jacket (even if a lot less detailed, I had just discovered my interest in fashion), those yellow-ish gloves, the overall winter-theme and cosy forest.

Not the scarf tho, and she apparently still kept the sweatshirt… which she only uses under the jacket… so a LOT of layers to keep herself warm. I did plan to make the hat yellow as well to match the glow but thought it would be fun for her to just borrow Chloe’s blue one.

But yeah, just me once again wondering how I became a gardener and not a professional… concept artist? Brainstormer? Coffeemaker? Chair? IF I HAD A COIN for every random thing I find myself predicting to my interests, I could buy myself a singular chocolate bar.

So! Last thing I felt I needed to get done before New Year! This Year’s Daredevil-remake!

So, compared with last year’s, I don’t think my art-skills or style has developed that much, maybe changed or refined the vibe somehow. Like how Daredevil’s face looks slimmer and fitter than last year’s, he looks more muscular. Less halloween-costume, more superhero-suit, looking at how Christopher Reeve’s suit sat on him instead of one of my random shirts in the mirror. So I guess the development 2023-2024 was how I could make it more character-fitting and interesting and references.

So, yellow street lights have changed to the red/blue police-lamps, random rooftop has changed to what could be the top of a church, city background has become bigger, trying to showcase how much area this one character has influence and responsibility over but blending in with the noise of the background.

Random lighted windows now have the shape of braille, hinting at his disability and what makes the character stick out, the texts referring to biblical verses and comic quotes if you want to take the time and translate.

The blue sky is now black with a hint of red, connecting more to his color-scheme and I wanted to think more from his perspective of the world. The heartbeats are less of a game-hub and more of just part of the input of the world around him.

Wanted the billy-clubs a little bit more fluid and over-the-top but maybe too much over the top.

So more probably changed than stayed but if I got the basic idea of Daredevil on top of the roof, this would have come up in my head now instead of what I did in 2021.

So… curious on how I will retake this piece 2025.

The Moon Dance - Remake 24-08-22 v 22-08-22

It has been a year an a half since I began painting digitally. Before I only worked with traditional media, mainly oil and watercolor, but between med school and moving to another city for studying, traditional painting became a little impractical. The first picture is my first finished digital painting (done on IbisPaint, on a stylus-less samsung tablet) and the second one is one of the paintings I am more proud of ( on infinite painter, on a samsung tablet with s-pen).

I do miss painting with traditional media but shifting to digital allowed me to grow a lot and keep painting in the scraps of time, which is GREAT. I also improved a lot beacuse I felt freer to experiment without the fear of ruining a piece forerver ( God bless the undo button, my saint and patron).

In case you are wondering, the first picture represents Sunspear, the seat of house Martell. I kinda love the concept and as soon as I have the time I wil probably paint in again. The second one, of course, is Carcosa from "The King in Yellow", reimagined for my "Tales of the Dreamer" project.
