Artist's Comments
I was just browsing through my gallery when I stumbled upon this old picture of Zelgadis and Amelia I did waaay back when, and I thought that the difference between these two pictures shows my progression as an artist more than anything else, and it's kinda cool to see them side-by-side. It's the same characters in a sort of similar position, but they are so completely different that it's hard to believe I drew both of them.
It's amazing what five years can do to an artist.  P.S. I wanted to call this picture "Progression of a Starving Artist", but it wouldn't fit in the title bar. The Original 2004 Picture The New 2009 Picture Comments
 you're right. that's is a major difference… the details on those outfits are amazing!
 -- Nothing lasts 4ever except the love of God. Prayer is NEVER wasted on the lost! Just b/c you're different doesn't mean He didn't die 4 u. Don't be different. Be a JESUS FREAK!!   A faith worth living for is a faith worth dying for.  wow...really major difference!
-- I am a very annoying girl, but my friends still love me...figure that one out. XP --------------- I believe in Jesus Christ my Savior. If you do too and aren't scared to admit it then copy and paste this in your signature.  Wait another five years and see what happens.
-- Internationally recognized for things he thinks, writes, and says.  Whoa. That is. Amazing. Only five years? *o* Awesome.
-- **~ "....a n d s l e e p....j u s t s l e e p...." ~** --"I can't...I can't ever wake up."--  Wonderful work!
-- "I like to think of myself as an artist -- starving, depressed, unappreciated. Yep, artist baby."  Wow, what a difference!
You were good back then too. Definite improvement though.  They looks so dark now xD
-- [link] <== My comic (cover page, CLICK AND READ!!! I love creative and critical feedback)  Both look completely different. The one on the left is very weeaboo but I like it.
-- Help my dragons by clicking the links thank you. [url=[link]  Nice work!

Critiques
Not only do we have an art style shown from the past, but juxtaposing it with one from the present, is something that most artists are afraid to live up to, afraid to show off.
I am glad that Shira-chan has opened up her own personal progression to us here at deviant art. It really goes to show, that the field of art is something that is constantly evolving, and is not something that can be achieved overnight.
On a technical level, I really enjoy looking at the similarities and differences between these two digital works. The metamorphosis of Shira-chan's knowledge with light, shadow, texture and colour has most certainly grown. As has her anatomy within the work
Thank you for sharing your progression! And, keep on creating!!
