In 2009 this was my first attempt at photoshop (CS4, I think?) and I did this for a class project. It took me 12+ hours. I legit turned this into a teacher and got a C and one of the worst critiques I've had to sit through (though he did compliment me for branching out of acrylic which was my comfort zone at the time)
And I even posed a model in this outfit to make this pic guys, it's so devestatingly bad and yellow for all the effort that went into it? (and I only signed it after I printed it lol so I didn't even sign this picture)
And me in photoshop 10 years later. Maybe 4-5 hours.
And yo my comics from 2009 were unfortunately lost to a computer crash but trust me they were truly awful.
