Artistic Science

Artistic Improvement: aka.) “what happens when you don’t waste your time harassing some dumb bitch over sparkle dragons.”

Humans:

Starting off, I had no concept of human anatomy beyond chibis and stick figures, so cue really shitty MS paint, circle-headed, wannabe animu “chibi” version of myself.

Now with a picture of my current persona, Millicent, I’ve developed a more accurate sense of skin tone, anatomy, muscle structures… and hey, I can even draw hands and feet instead of shitty little nubs.

Robots:

Of course I’ve always loved robots… particularly Transformers. I joined DeviantART in the fandom, but still stuck with the simpler “Animated” style. MS Paint drawings with circle heads… sadly some of my most detailed work back then.

Now, despite the fact that the most recent of my serious robot artwork was last year, I’m pretty damn sure you can see the areas where I’ve improved… most noteably; everything. Better method of coloring metal, more details, etc. God I love purple robots.

Feral Creatures:

Perhaps one of the most well-known areas of my artistic skill. It wasn’t always like that, as you could tell. I never drew creatures, beasts, or monsters, and most of those that I did draw were just God-awful.

I draw too many feral things to pick the most recent, but the drawing of the Koltherian (dragon) was my best of my most recent stuff. MAJOR improvement in both anatomy and realistic features. Posing is also much more realistic. This is one of my biggest spaces of improvement, and as stated, I’m more known for that.

Anthropomorphic:

I actually didn’t start drawing anthros until about mid-way through my second deviantART account. Somewhere in the 2009-2010 area? So for that short amount of time, and with my utter lack in focusing on humanoid anatomy jesus… it looks like a stretched out sparkledog with a broken spine.

Needless to say I improved quite a bit once I started poking into the furry fandom. Course I got heavy into it for a while, and developed a few different “styles” of anthro… they’ve gone from wonky animals on two legs to actual… you know, I can’t even talk about anthros right now. Furries are ridiculous. Point being that I improved a stupid amount.

Character Design:

JESUS THE ANATOMY… Sadly that was a 2010-2011 artwork? The design has some okay-colors, but the marking placement is just ALL OVER THE PLACE, and makes absolutely no sense. The layout of the reference sheet is bad to boot.

Clearly my sense of colors and design has improved a stupid amount… as well as my ability to work on large, well thought out reference sheets. Hell I’ve even improved in developing my characters so they weren’t all the same thing. Boring one-sentence personality art fodder.

and as far as the “selfies” go:

I even fucking improved in that.

Go you
