One year on DA

So I survived one year of going public with my work. My first post was a Vega pic... and it wasn't very good, but it was the best I could do then. I'll mark the anniversary with another fanart of my favourite character, because he was perfect practice for everything I wanted to challenge myself in drawing: male anatomy, graceful move poses, skin rendering, beauty in general etc...

Still have A LOT to learn and improve on, but I feel like I'm getting closer. Being here has definitely helped and I am grateful to everyone who have supported me with their constructive criticism and kind words of encouragement. It's been an honour to have met so many of you that I now call friends - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
