Description ~Huge File Warning!~ (Updated to add 2011-2012)

I've been meaning to do an art-progress chart like this for a long time now, but had no idea how to go about it. Then I decided to break it down by individual characters, to show how they've grown along with my artwork throughout the years. Hopefully the writing is legible! ^__^;

It was a humbling experience to say the least, wading through some of my old sketches. Looking back at where I started out makes me wonder how anyone ever thought my artwork worth encouraging, heh. But if there's a lesson here, it's to never underestimate how far practice and determination can take you. If you have a passion for drawing, just keep drawing! One day you will look back and be amazed.

this are amazing!! even the ones you made in 1998!!
i did the math and i am amazed that you begun drawing these characters when you were 16 or something... and to think that they have evolved to the amazing drawings you have of them now. How did you come up with this?!?!

Perhaps the most inspiring piece of this whole thing is where you said Min Rho β€œcould always paint [your] lineart better than [you]” and that it just β€œpushed [you] to try harder.” That is one of my greatest failings in art, though I may have more or less shaken it with writing. Whenever someone bests me, I give up. I really need to get over that. Great things are on the other side of that hang-up!

Thank you so much for sharing these. They are inspirational in so many ways.

Looking at these character progress charts, it seems like you made huge improvements in a really short time. I know this is years, but there's a huge improvement and I think that's really impressive. I guess it probably didn't seem like it was fast improvement to you at the time...I know I always feel like I'm stuck in one place with my art -_-

I love these! Thank you so much for posting them. You are among my very top favorite artists on dA and your work is very inspiring to me. I really like seeing your progression as an artist as it gives me some hope for myself. You have really wonderful work and characters. I'm going to favorite the whole bunch.

You. Are. AMAZING. I love your art...and I wish you had finished the series. I own bought the first book...and was really sad when I found out I couldn't get the second one! But...I understand your reasoning behind not wanting to finish them...even though they were really good. Since no more will be printed, I am gonna cherish The Rover's Cripple forever!

"He also died...multiple times."

I can only say one thing to that.

"OH MY GODS, THEY KILLED FAEREN!" "YOU BASTARDS!"

Wow, it's crazy seeing how much your talent has grown over the years. I've been keeping an eye on your artwork for a while, since about 2000 I suppose. It was back when Elfwood was still the main place to get fanart (sorry I don't mean for this to sound as creepy as it does). It's just mind blowing, and it makes me feel so old, ha.

I have to say that I find this so inspiring. I'm an aspiring artist and have kind of been stuck for a while... I'm always frustrated by how my pieces turn out. When I see how far you've come and how much work you put into your art throughout the years, I feel like I might be able to make something cool in the future, too

Eva-Dragon-Goddess [2012-03-02 23:50:51 +0000 UTC]

Maybe I'm just a crazy fan but seeing this feels sort of ... historical, lol. It's amazing and absolutely inspiring to see how much your art has improved over the years. And I love the very playful commentary and how you refer to your characters as if they really could pester you to draw more pictures lol, I know the feeling but never thought about it that way.
It's catching on though
Anyway, thanks if you've managed to slog your way through my tarded fan vomit xD I be shutin' up now

I am so impressed by these! I have several characters that I have drawn since 1999 or so as well. I should really do something similar. I also should draw more (is that possible?) as your work is inspiring. I love your leafy details.
