Description soo, I almost never do this (I actually hate drawing the same exact picture twice, no matter how much time passed), but...
A couple of days ago I noticed someone adding to their favourite that old picture of mine, and I realized how much it pissed me off that one of the drawings I was most proud of last year had slowly become the one I hated the most in my whole gallery for a whole bunch of reasons...
so, sick of being just pissed off at me, I decided I was going to make a new version, so that my soul could rest for at least another year

I regret not using the same paper I drew the old picture on, I liked how smoother the shading was on that, but I surely don't miss that yellowish hue... bleah

graphite, A4 size
Almost two years later still on my Istaaz-Vehnas period and not caring

These two I find a very interesting couple, with that strange love thing going on, and I can't quite figure what it is, and that is very enchanting. And the art with them is just outstanding. Beautiful and with so much expression.

I really like this version. When comparing the two, this one is seemingly more darker and the subtle elements (such as the way you drew his hair this time) adds such a different feel to the image. I also love that you drew her face longer and added more detail in the face Great job!

in my opinion, both versions are equally good, just in different ways.

I kinda like the yellow hue on the original, it gave it a soft lighting effect too it. But this looks nice too.

Wow I really like this version, but they are both great. And there are subtle changes that change the feel of the picture

Compared side by side two versions portray different emotions. Well that's a given, considering your mindframe was not the same
And of course the progress! More detailed and texturized. Especially hair.

The old one wasn't that bad. They both look amazing... 

The detail that you put into this is amazing. An absolutely amazing piece of work! Really just wow...

The differences in the cloak and the texturing of the his scars really stand out as an improvement. There's a wonderful sense of tension between these two!

Interesting. What are some examples of the things in the old version you disliked so much? I appreciate the change in the woman's head shape, but beyond that it just seems stylistic.

Vehnas è un uomo davvero inquietante, quantomeno lei non può vederlo troppo XD

They both are excellent. I know the old one pisses you off but it has some wonderful qualities to it too

I like this one more... and it looks as if they became a little bit older.. That looks good on them.  Well done!

It looks great! I really like his hand, it looks really realistic. With his nose longer he kinda looks closer, so maybe in ten years he'll reach her mouth! ;D

Eh, si, a dispetto del fatto che la prima versione mi era parsa gia' bellissima, devo dire che qui ti sei superata. I capelli e le mani ed il rendering della pelle, nonche' la cicatrice sulla mano di Vehnas sono fantastiche.

rosalbarts [2013-09-13 16:01:51 +0000 UTC]

Il miglioramento si vede tutto, soprattutto nei profili e nell'angolazione della mascella di Vehnas, anche per come hai reso la pelle, le ombreggiature danno maggiore tridimensionalità! 


Ti ammiro per la voglia che hai avuto nel rifare un vecchio lavoro... io dovrei rifare tutta la mia gallery, per quanto mi fanno schifo certi lavori di cui invece anni fa ero fiera, ma sono una pigra senza speranza...
