YES I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BELIAL IN A WHILE ;A; SSHHHHHHH.
I was looking through old art of him and thinking how much I hated every picture LOL. So I decided to redraw one- may as well use the before and after meme for fun too.
I forgot to put in the date- but the first one was done in 2009. YUP.

HamCubes [2011-11-23 23:27:58 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, due to the shading, the folds in the clothes, and the contrast of the skin against the darker colors, I much prefer the old one.

Gosh, I can't decide which one I like better! He obviously looks pissed lol. ;D But I love how dark and soft the old one feels, but the new one is so edgy and I love the flare that blue adds to the picture! Fantastic work, per usual.
I will say one thing I do love is how your style has grown and matured as far as cleanliness in lineart. In the old one, I can't really tell he has a necklace on, and the outlines of his face and hand contrast greatly in line-width compared to the rest of the piece. Where as with the new one, it's all streamlined and very clear and consistent.

Again, I love them both. Good job Az!

I think he looks a little bit more defined in the first one. The neck lines add a little bit of realism, and in the new one he looks a little too skinny and his arm's a little awkward.

While I suppose the second one appeals more anatomically, I must say I think the older one looks better.

For me, it's not that the 'after' is bad, even though I feel it looks a little flat. It's more the style of the 'before' feels a much better fit and has a certain quality to it the 'after' sadly lacks. I love looking at these memes but honestly I don't think this is one that needed an improvement, it was already great to begin with

I don't know why you hated the Before. :\ Both are very good images, and frankly it comes down to artistic taste for which one is 'better.' I'm withholding my preference, because in the end it comes down to which one makes YOU happy.

I can definitely see your stylistic change in the two, and I can agree with below comments that your use of color is a lot more dynamic in the newer image. The shape of your hands and fingers have gotten much better, but your new shading has lost a little of the definition (especially in the neck) which made the Before so dynamic and fun to look at. It looks, however, like you have gained a better sense of lighting for the image. Not to mention his tongue is missing in the After, and that was an adorable touch in the Before.

donnymurph [2011-11-23 22:46:52 +0000 UTC]

To my amateur eye, the second seems more skilfully done, with better lighting and anatomy. However, the first one better portrays the brash, in-your-face feeling.

I like both of them! haha, he's so sassy <3 the only thing I liked better in the first version is his tongue peekin' out. the colors are so much nicer in second one, especially liking the aqua!

Gottllieb [2011-11-23 22:33:48 +0000 UTC]

I think people are not 'judging' the art in the right way D8 Just saying they like more the first for 'that' and 'that' with smart words, which is obviously things they made up in the moment... its easy to say something is better just cause it would be a nicer Iphone background or whatever.
I can see how much you've improved, anyway ~ Everything makes more sense, like it really had a logical base and stuff XD the colors are way better too. keep going like this! <3 ~

How can you judge "wrong"? It's what people like better. You can't be wrong about what you find more appealing.

Oh no, saying this to an artist is a hideous insult, but... I like the old one more. It's not about skills though, I just like the rendition style in the first one more.

ColoredInBright [2011-11-23 22:11:49 +0000 UTC]

I think as far as human body shape is concerned, you've improved I think you should have put as much definition into the new one as you did the old, but overall I think the new one's better!

zeldalady [2011-11-23 22:05:44 +0000 UTC]

This may not be what you want to hear, but I actually like the older picture better. In your newer picture, I like the use of colors--it's clear that you've developed a better sense of coloring compared to the older picture. I really like the way you drew the neck muscles in the first picture--I wish you had kept them that way in the new picture, too.
There's just something about the first picture that I like better...

Your old style makes the edges feel much less sharp and unnatural.
I like both but my personal preference was the old style.
