Before and After
In preparation for the 2007 convention season, I'm trying to shuffle some of the old art off the tables. One of the old pieces that always does well is this guy. I can't really justify taking something off the table that people obviously like, but I do want to keep things fresh and new. I created a redo with the same basic content as the original, but an updated drawing.

I might tweak the jawline and erase the bits of eye peaking through hair where it's not supposed to, but overall I'm much happier with it. Needs some color. ^.^

I have to say that the re-draw is vastly superior to the old.

You have improved by gigantic leaps and bounds and this piece does your old concept justice and will more than likely get more sales than your previous version.

I'm going to have to agree and say you've made a definate improvement in the redo. Not that I'm dissing the old, that one has its merits.;) But I do like the new one more.:D

Wheeeeee! It's always so fun to compare old and new. Gets a satisfaction of 'OMFG! Better!!' Makes you all proud, XD

*nods* Tweaking the jawline might be good.

I also like the change in outfits!

HAHA! Indeedy! He has a bit of that messy-military look (soldier, perhaps???) going on, which I like^^

What a charmer! He reminds me just a little of Jaeger from Finder.

Such a huge improvement. The new version looks kinda like a demon pirate.

Arr. I'll eat yer soul.

He looks a bit older in the Re-Do. I wouldn't call it a do over, but the next snapshot in his life.

Definately!

It's a whole new character, but the basic content of demon on the wall is the same, without the same composition. It's my hope that it'll fill the requirements of what made the first image good, as well as being even better with the updated art and attention to detail.

So cool. It will look really sweet with color. You should make a book that deals with photoshop coloring.
