Description Once in a while I like to go back to my older pieces and re-do them according to my current skill level. This is one of such cases. The original image: fav.me/d38g7cw wasn't bad, per se, but it bothered me because it wasn't correct as far as the character's clothing and the environment went. Losh was a gatherer. He used to spend entire days climbing trees, picking herbs, mushrooms, fruits and any other foods the lush forest had to offer. That line of work also included frequent running from predators and seeking safety among the tall trees, so comfortable clothing that wouldn't limit his movement and that would allow for silent sneaking by dangerous areas was essential. No capes, no excessive amounts of bare skin, no impractical footwear.

Another thing I wanted to improve on was the overall atmosphere of the image. A full moon night in the world where the moon covers up almost entire visible sky was bound to provide some spectacular lighting, and the old image didn't cover that too well. Also, those trees swaying in the wind would no doubt shed some leaves, too.

Ah, I could go on, so before I bore everyone to death, here it is - the very last night Losh spent in his home world, version 2.0.

I was quite surprised myself when I realized how much better this new version had turned out to be. It's very encouraging to be able to see one's progress like that.

Anyway, thank you so much for your lovely comment!

There are definitely a few pieces I should go back and retry, too, now that I have more experience and a bigger runtime. Β XD

And you're very welcome! Β I just need to find more time to art and comment on everyone's lovely works!

What happened, exactly?

It's a long story, but - basically - Losh was kidnapped and sold into slavery.

Hm. Well, this shortened version was kind of to be expected. The long version would interest me, to be honest. But I will accept it if you won't write it.

Β  I loved the old one, love this one even more. He looks much more stealthy and capable of climbing trees this way. The light is also much more mysterious and moon-y.Β 


Coming back to have a new look at old stuff is fun and a good way to check where you are now.

Much better. The mood and light is far more realistic and I hear you concerning fancy clothing. I like these practical things much more too. The movement added... You improved much!
