Redrawing old art

I'm really happy with my improvement, each piece is pretty different compositionally but the second iteration was made specifically because I liked the idea, but the composition sucked ass, the most current version def has the strongest composition and anatomy, but it's lacking in polish, maybe in my next version I'll render it more carefully - I also think its funny that each version gradually got a cooler colour pallete. I like all the peices but I feel I'm always closing to conveying Qam and Rahat's whole vibe. Rahat sees the stars and Qamar sees them.

Hers is October, so you're safe. You might have to change your identity if b-days matched up too. AN alien and ufo themed coffee shop sounds really interesting, I don't think themed restaurants are a thing around here

[beebutterbee]

Yeah usually there’s no themed restaurants here either, the owner just REALLY loves aliens I love going there to write or draw though, it’s actually calm despite all the ufo decorations

[Leyelle]

hey, no shame in really liking aliens lol. I've got a mild obsession with fairies

[beebutterbee]

lol yes I actually love it though, I’m slightly terrified by aliens, especially the Greys but also I am very into the lore people have built around it despite the mild phobia and SAME I love fairies, I’ve been a fan of anything Fae since I was a kid!

[Leyelle]

idk what the grays are lol, but some aliens can be pretty spooky. I was never allowed to watch almost anything with fairies as a kid so I ended up creating my own fairy lore for my stories, and it actually inspired a story about a woman who's mother was against her being a fairy (the one I told you some people thought was horror.) So my obsession has paid off a bit, my first published spec fic piece was about fairies

[beebutterbee]

Oh the Greys are those well, gray aliens, the classic bug eyed little guys I don’t think they’re real but the certainly creep me out for some reason, the cutesy art of them doesn’t but like those spooky hyper realistic mean looking ones chill me to my core 🥲

Ah mood, my mom was very religious growing up, she wouldn’t even let me watch Casper the Ghost but it didn’t stop me from making up my own ghost lore either! Or fairy lore too in this case.

[Leyelle]

Spooky things aren't for me, so I'm still not bothered by that, I have a low tolerance for scary, though for some reason some of my stories are rather psych-thrillerish. But we both have religious mothers I guess, so yeah, it definitely affected what I was allowed to watch and that affected my writing. I think it's had an interesting influence throughout my writing though, so as frustrating as it was to me it's not all a loss.

This pic gives me swaggy retro hippie band vibes, not sure why lol.

[Leyelle]

This isn't a total redraw but I drew Alicia in her sexy black dress from 'blase couture' again lol. Yes, the one she accidentally sent Kattar a picture of her wearing

I am so happy with how this picture turned out

[Leyelle]

This picture was from June of this year

redrew it yesterday

I'm still gonna try to redraw it a third time since i'm not satisfied with the first redraw. Yes, this is the infamous pink wrap dress

help

wait, why is this a help moment lol?

[EncryptedWriting]

Cause it's so funny how bad my first one is. And I looked upon and I'm like "how could I ever release this to the world?"

[Leyelle]

Honey, have you even seen my first digital art, your's looks like da Vinci in comparision

[Leyelle]

here's an old pic of Louise from toward the beginning of my art journey:

and here's her newest one I made yeysterday

I think she looked cuter and younger the first time, so I need to draw her again and make her eyes a little larger than i did in the second pic lol

[Leyelle]

This was my first day for digital art:

This was day 100.

I should do some more redress sometime soonish lol

[Krysteena]

I did a complete revamp of the front cover!
