Then and now

I'm a perfectionist. I don't look at old art pieces as finished and done - I look at them like open-ended projects. As I feel like my skills improve, I go back and improve what I've created.

I originally drew/colored an Invader Zim piece for a friend right before the first convention I did (Aki-Con) back in 2012. Recently (a few months ago) I sat down and reworked it, using the original line art and pencil textures but adding some new colors, lines, and textures and changing it into something I felt looked more finished.

Here's an animation that first shows the original piece, then transitions into the final piece:


 It's been a productive past few years, I think ;-)
