Description Well, lol, the poll said that people were interested in 'Then and Now' comparisons, so the first I decided to do is Celeste of course!!

Well, Looking at the old pic is awfully painful XD Her face is all distorted and she only has three fingers on her hands *shame*

To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure when Celeste was conceived so I had to do a lot of digging. This picture, the original was in a sketch pad I drew in with pictures dating back in 06. It made sense, since I met my husband doing relief work for hurricane Katrina in late 2005, and I married him in the summer of 07 and by then, Cel was pretty well established on my DA.

Ugh, this is why I date all my pics now. Makes digging up the dates easier v,v

Well, that's her old design, I have another picture in the same sketch pad a few pages later of her wearing her cloak, which I should probably load.

But I am lazy and embarrassed by the level of fail XD

In any case, at least I've gotten better right?

I think you've defiantly improved ^^ but both designs are still beautiful. It's always hard to create your own character. It can come out as a fail and sometimes you just wish it could look perfect...and I think you we're able to archive that perfection!!

How cool! Though yes you have improved, I like them both. She looks a little older in the first one and very elegant. The newer is one is just plain cute.

KissTheThunder In reply to PhoenixSAlover [2010-11-21 20:09:59 +0000 UTC]

I've grown a lot I think ^^ But this isn't chibi style, it's just a more on model mobian style than the ill-developed anthro style I used to run with. <3 Thanks!!

And sure!!

Mitsumi-Mishitori In reply to KissTheThunder [2010-11-28 04:17:07 +0000 UTC]

Well they're both really good, and it's a matter of personal preference for me

The second one seems too "sonic-y" for my taste.

👍: 0 ⏩: 0

Nephsech [2010-11-20 23:44:47 +0000 UTC]

I prefer the old one
the hair is more streamline and the pose is more interesting, the new one is a bit blocky and stereotyped...
Although i can see improvement in the anatomy and hands, also i think that smaller feet suit the design rather than rounded ones.
The thing I notice the most is the lineart is much more sturdy and defined in the new one.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KissTheThunder In reply to Nephsech [2010-11-21 03:48:13 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, really? I wanted to change her up a lot because she's a Sonic fan-character, so I wanted to make her proportions more consistent to the standards.

It's alright though, I can see why others may like the old one more, as it IS less Sonicy and a style more its own.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Nephsech In reply to KissTheThunder [2010-11-21 16:36:07 +0000 UTC]

yep I really like the old one, I prefer when the sonic style is adjusted to be more personal~
But that's my personal opinion, I think you are very good at sonic style.
I would concentrate more on improving my colouring at this stage.

KissTheThunder In reply to Nephsech [2010-11-21 17:13:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!!

And I'm sorry, but color isn't likely to happen <3 I'm concentrating on my drawing skills, anatomy, perspective, lineart, inking, that sort of thing. I can color traditionally, yes, but digital stuff make my carpel tunnel go crazy.

VioletWhirlwind [2010-11-20 23:34:36 +0000 UTC]

Even back then, you still drew WAY better than I can now XD Especially hair.
