I had to entirely re-export this. I drew it nine years ago and the files were corrupted.

It was funny opening up the old files and seeing how different my priorities were and how many basic mistakes I was making.

This sequence was my baby back then and I remember being so proud of it.

I don't normally care to participate in these challenges but we're going to kick on @advsquadcomic.bsky.social in the coming months and I figured it's a good chance to get me re-acquainted with these characters! So have a Cooper I'm not pleased with, but happy is done.

Ooooh fun trend! These two don't feel like they fully show how much I know I've improved the past 6 years but it felt right to compare two different Malotz drawings (the second being an AU) #asharts

mer @mernolan.bsky.social · 23d

definitely improved!

I tend to "blame" this to the 3 years of figuring out how to teach character design/visual narrative to other people working with only the vaguest of vibes, and learning a lot myself as a result. fake it til you make I suppose lol
