Crimson Daggers — Art forum

I thought it'd be fun to share some really old stuff.

This is something I did at the age of 15, 2005 (I'm 21 now).

Miles posted this the other day on reditt (5 years of art), and it inspired me to go search for my oldest self-portrait, anyone else care to share?

MILES




MY UGLY FACE

awesome guys, massive improvement both Miles and you Dracken.

I didnt found anything really old at the moment, but i think this one from the last year is shitty enough to make a good comparison.

(don't have the really old stuff on my laptop right now..)

wow to the DA piece... and the sailor moon pic, i think i know where you were coming from when painting that...my first digital paintings, i was drawn to the high saturation colours too...think its because i learnt to paint from miniatures, and creating depth and realistic lighting was a foreign concept (still is, but i'm learning the language a little)

here's my 3rd digital painting and one of my more recent pieces from a couple of months ago

One of my first digital paintings from late April to the best of my abilities then, and one from a day ago. Started my sketchbook here on may 30th and since then have been improving :)

hmm, my second digital painting, must be back in 2009 :)
