Description Yaaaaaaaaaay

I've been wanting to do one of these for YEARS, pretty much ever since I joined dA
I kinda never felt like my art improved enough to make a noticeable difference, and I didn't have a picture that looked like it would fit this meme. But then the mood for drawing something sad kicked in, I said "fuck it" and this is the result. yay!

Well, the most noticeable difference from the past three years is how I gave up on pseudo animu trash style for whatever-it-is-I-use-now. I can still look at the first one without cringing (too hard), but what bothers me right now is why I'd decided to go for that completely wrong sunset-ish background. Well, I sort of fixed it in the new version, so there's that.
I tried to draw them in the same pose at the beginning, but it wouldn't work because they just seem so stiff in the old one >.< I mean come on, your best friend is about to disappear from existence, you can do more than just stand there awkwardly like a block of stone! So yeah, hugging felt more natural, and easier to draw

Also, sorry for the crappy size, I wasn't able to make the template bigger, and it bugs me to no end as well that you can't zoom in D: 

So here, for comparison's sake:

2013 version: fav.me/d6t1ykx
2016 version: fav.me/d9p2mhg
2017 version: fav.me/db3v55n
2018 version: fav.me/dc7onwu

Enjoy!

Also, blank meme for you guys to try out: fav.me/d2xu044



2018 EDIT: Added the 2018 version!

Hmm...I personally maybe prefer the 2017 version, the colors seems the strongest in that one. There isn't that much improvement between 2017 and 2018, the latter do have a slightly more depth in the characters because of angle they're drawn in.

while i can't say that i prefer the 2017 version (sure, the colours are brighter, but they're also kinda wrong, plus the rocks are just terrible), i'll agree that there wasn't overall much improvement. i mean, i've kinda found my style by now? like yeah, you never stop improving and stuff, but i think i'm at a place right now where i don't need to actively change my style, but rather refine it.

you really love watercolors, uh?  (is... watercolor ¿? lol) Not very usual to see artists like that, specially who draws fanart.

It's great 8)

PitchBlackEspresso In reply to CheetaHamSloth [2016-02-18 13:14:48 +0000 UTC]

well, not much "love", but it's the easiest medium to draw for me, it takes little time to colour large surfaces, but you can still make gradient :3 thanx tho

The artwork is better in the newer one but I like the older one better.

PitchBlackEspresso In reply to K-9-6-9 [2016-01-25 16:38:56 +0000 UTC]

well i don't dislike the older one either, i'm just not much of a fan of the position i drew 'em in

dang, nice improvement!! I love how much more intimate the redrawing is, and the softer coloring

PitchBlackEspresso In reply to Gecko-Comics [2016-01-25 16:37:05 +0000 UTC]

thank you! yeah, the lack of intimacy bothered me in the older one, i guess since they're just standing around in the game i thought it'd look as good on paper :'D
