Some Old Art And Some Moderately Less Old Art Of The Same Things For Comparison. For An Art Challenge
Some old art and some moderately less old art of the same things for comparison. For an art challenge sort of.


January 2023 vs January 2018


July 2020 vs (I think) December 2010
All but the most recent one in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool and a mouse, the most recent one in Affinity Designer with the pen tool and a mouse. It was never a good idea but I've invested too much and can no longer stop myself.

Bleu from the Breath of Fire games. I have not played the Breath of Fire games.













All my big traditional pieces from last year. One for every month except March which had two. Some of them have funny titles but attaching them to this post feels fundamentally wrong.

You knew it was after you, but up until now you weren't too sure where it was.

Goofy robot I kept thinking would have aged poorly but it turns out didn't really. Good job me of yesteryear.







Eleonore Mordis Linden, a character who came about in response to the art prompt "Design a magical girl with an improbable/impractical weapon." So I went y'know what's real impractical and unwieldy? Impossible geometry. And decided to make her powers the Penrose steps. But not really because I thought them being circular looked nicer and the only way to do that (simply) is to essentially draw a turbine, the geometry of which is quite possible. I did start a different circular Penrose steps thing once that I'd conceptualised mathematically but then my laptop died and took that file with it before being brought back to life. Maybe one day.
Anyway I later decided on a name and personality, the latter of which I recently described as, "the type of person to ask you if it would be funny if she ate this entire ice cream in one go and then do it before you can respond." Then I did that redesign in the first image because my 2019 self didn't have a single clue how to design a magical girl. 2022 me is slightly better but gave her that disaster of a hairstyle that 2023 me has somewhat corrected.
2020 me would like you to see these projections from the making of that second image:

Plus the result of those, sans Eleonore:

With a mouse, too. Little guy was not acting normal.
