Okay now it’s time to unveil my art from 7th grade! Time for some cringe crime boys!! It’s worse than food crimes! OH GOSH!!
At the time when I wrote this, I shad myself inserted as the main character and I was like 13 at the time. This is what imagined what 2023 was going to look like. I was WAAAAAAAY off.
Although I did like the design of one of my first OCs Mae Dillon (later Dojima or Yamasaki) who was a half Japanese blind teenage girl. I really want to bring her back somehow.
And here is my first villain Esteban the dark wizard OOOOOOOOO SPOOOOOKYYY!
Later I did some concept scenes. Oh gosh.
Woah and some Japanese CLEARLY taken from GOOOOOOGLE TRANSLATE!! WOOOOAAAAH!
Here is my self insert character riding a hover board! I thought we’d have legit flying hoverboards by 2023 but I was wrong lol.
Poses practice.
I don’t what this is but he looks like a Hiro Hamada ripoff! 🤣 I drew this in church lol.
I do admit I like the expressions I did but they weren’t as expressive as I do now. Wow. I’ve come a long way.
What is going on with my fashion choices?? What kind of a headband is that????! (I drew a headband on my character mainly because I always messed up the guideline.

)
Also my first attempt at coloring with this style at the time. I remember when my uncle visited I showed him this and he said “Oh cool is this like Pokémon?” I said “A little.”



WHHHHYYYYY!!?
Well that was my oldest artwork surviving. From when I was 13 so there you go. Cringe as cringeworthy can be. But looking on the style I have now I can see how it influenced my art I have today.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
