Description
This took...2 hours. I totally could have done something productive during that time.But I'm actually really glad I did this...even if you guys don't care haha. I think it was really good for me to put my art in perspective. Where I've come and gone. Going through my gallery put things in place.
Wow. So I guess we can't say OH ten can we? Hm...

Really nice! I have to agree on the inspiring part b/c it makes me want to draw more, but the only thing holding me back sometimes is the lack of time since I'm in university taking Computer Science and stuff (More math based than art). So yea, BTW I Still have your comic strip saved on my computer lol.. It's the one called 'Rock_Paper_Scissors___wtf__by_zilowar.png'.. Still makes me laugh now and then.
;D (Ps, draw more of the red dragon lol. Love that character!!)

I remember that haha! I wonder if it's still in my hidden deviations on dA...hehe

I was wondering why would you hide it? It's one of the coolest deviations and unique since it's the only comic strip in your gallery. ;D

Zilo, I've loved watching you improve over the years. It's so fun to see these memes and look at everything all side-by-side. May you only continue to improve so much in the new decade! :'D <3

What is this madness? D: I'm older than you yet your art kicks my arse heavily XDDD <33 You sure have improved a lot though C:
The one thing I need to improve on right now is actually drawing more ;; I didn't do nearly as much as I would have liked, even though I was in the last year of high school X3

Fuh, but I may never improve again! I don't think age matters a whole lot - the only difference it makes is what contests you can enter lol.
Same here 3: I never have time just to sit down and draw.
π: 0 β©: 1
lmao nah, I've never really entered any contests, cause I know I need to improve first XD.
And I have plenty of time to draw, just I'm lazy ._.

Soso I remember that thar Zilodragon, I still have it saved on MSPaint for referance. That means we met on Spiel four years agoo. |D I can still vaguely remember the hilarious tiemz. SUCH GOOD TIEMS.

O.o Your art at age 12 is better than mine at 17 LOL i love these progress things sadly though i dont have a lot of art from other years i discovered fantasy when i was like 14 and didnt start doing art til 15
π: 0 β©: 1
XD! No way haha. I think its really cool to look back though. It's like a little window into my past. Because art really tells me more about myself than anything else.
π: 0 β©: 1
i love how art does that

Wow! Much improvement! Any advice to a novice who wants to be great like you? :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Aha! Advice? XD Keep practicing when its hard because that's when you learn the most, and be an artistic sponge to all the good works you see.

π: 0 β©: 0
I actually remember all of these too! Especially that very first one, that had to of been right about when I started to watch you. CRAZY. And you have REALLY improved so much in such a short amount of time. And you are young, but you are so mature- it really shows a lot about you, this lil Meme 
I love all the 2006 here lol :3

It's really cool for me to look back too...especially when I get in a funk about my art. I could be way back there still XD And art just gets more fun, the more you figure out you can do! Thanks Lai ~ <3

π: 0 β©: 1
Im so happy to see this from you, Cause i remmeber ALL of this art way back to 2006. You were my main inspiration on dA since id just joined. And my at showed that.. I was a bit of a copy cat, I hope you dont mind (im sure you noticed) But thats how much you and your art had an impact on me. You got me further into my art.
It was you who made me make IdatΓ© even. So my thanks to you for all that Zii.
and You impoved so damn much so fast that its scary! you're so amazingly talented!

π: 0 β©: 1
of course you can, you're the zilomuffin :3
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, I hope you don't take offense to this but I figured you were like in your twenties at least with the quality of work you put out... geeze... good on ya, man! *High-fives and wishes luck in the new year.*
Copics, eh? I've had my eyes on those for a while now... good solid colors from what you've seen?
And on your 2007 row, the red dragon... was that digital work or marker?
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, no I don't take offense at all, it's flattering really.
-highfives-
They're a lot of fun! Hard to get knack with, I'm still learning really, but a really unique medium.
Red dragon in 2007 was digital - photoshop 7.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I kick ass with regular crappy markers so I'm sure I could work with them well. See I picture where highlights and shadows are (as well as any glowing things) and figure out the colors I need based on that.
Now, do they sell markers individually, do you know?
Photoshop is a good program, usually I find myself using a combination of Paint and GIMPshop. I have a tablet now but it's hard to use.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I don't think the actual producers do, but you can get them individually from other artists or perhaps try ebay. Maybe even amazon, craigslist etc.
I used GIMP before PS! It was good practice hehe. I haven't experimented with many programs at all though, so really I'm kind of ignorant to how good they could be XD I've just used Photoshop.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heheh, believe me, I used Paint for like six years then got GIMPshop and was all like: "What the hell? Where has this easy, god-send program been all my life?!" XD
