ART IMPROVEMENT: 2005 – 2013

I did this Art Improvement meme back at the start of 2013 and enjoyed it enough to do it again this year. Initially, I thought it was going to be a wash — all I could remember doing this year was unfinished sketches.

But in the course of completing the meme I found the comic page, the anime screenshot and various other bits and pieces I got up to in 2013.

Art Improvement Meme template is from Kamaniki.

Some other decent pieces that I couldn’t fit in: Toni’s revamped wing reference, Anna’s ref sheet, Evan’s ref sheet and the Snow Demon sketch.

Commissioned Art by Fishiebug

I commissioned artist Fishiebug to do a bust painting of Tyler from REBEL AGAINST HEAVEN, and oh man did she deliver some awesome work:

It is so good. So very very good, and stunningly true to the reference images I gave her. I’m hoping to commission some more work from her on the future, but before I can do that I’ll need some half-decent references from my other characters.

Fishiebug also recorded an hour of working on this piece, which is super useful for aspiring artists to pick up new skills. I’ve already found it very helpfull!

Using this as a desktop background to keep me motivated through these revisions!

Revisions are going pretty well today. My system wasn’t working but I sorted it out, and now instead of overwhelming myself I can take it all one thing at a time.
