Honk honk all aboard the bandwagon!
has this thing going where she wants people to, for some reason or another, put art in a chronologue of some kind! [link]

Actually this was fun to put together; let me tell you a bit about it:

1993? When I was young, I was obsessed with video games, even though I didn't get my first console until I was like seven. My parents were stingy about it, 'You'll kill your eyes' and all that. Anyway, in my video-game deprived state, I would imagine up video games based roughly on what I remembered seeing at the arcade; this is something of a terrible reproduction of Contra.
1995? Bino was a dog that I created when I was very young that I based on the golden-age Garfield strip collection that I had. Here he is in a 'video game setting'; again, I liked to think up the dumbest things off the top of my head.
1997: I'm funnier than Jim Davis! Woo
1999: Apparently my sense of humor died somewhere. This was another comic strip idea I had; another that you're not seeing was called Modern Fantasy, and featured two dragons hiding in the modern world. Original, I know.
2000: What you're seeing here is the very first scan I did with my brand-new scanning machine. I actually scanned this in 2001.
2001: These dragons you see here are my old avatar, Cual-Tan, where I was a . . . well, you'll have to ask me personally for that.
2002: Cual-Tan is survived by his being brought over to my fantasy story Imperial Reign, where he is actually a young dragon (like a lot of others assumed for some reason)
2003: "Chindy" Rick (my avatar after Cual), and a clip from my super-defunct In the New Age webcomic. Notice how the anatomy is amazingly terrible.
2004: Melchior (), a later clip from my webcomic before I switched over to sucky-looking pencils, my pika girl Jenna Pikanne, and Starspirit of Nowhere Man.
2005: Telemachus of Behind Blue Eyes, various characters from my pokemorph RP group, Riodekito from my becoming-a-novel In the New Age, the Wolf Angel from Must Be Dreaming, and the very first shot of my Furret avatar which I actually drew as a completely different character, then decided to use it
2006: INA Movie Going shot, Anubis from my comic Book of the Dead, Sir Eric vs. Nightmare in a commission I did for Ken Ringtail, rows of race models for INA, and of course me from my character sheet, and INA Shower Time.

You found your stuff from like a decade ago?
How'd the paper survive?

Um, paper can last quite a long time. It helps that most of them are in spiral-bound notebooks and kept in closets I suppose.

that's pretty intense... just goes to show you what elbow grease, more elbow grease, time and divine intervention can do lol
not to imply that you needed that much elbow grease....... or that you needed divine intervention... or that it took a millenium... but the contrast is quite amazing. great work ^^

Man, now that is a from-the-ground-up perusal of improvement. What can I say? You turned damn awesome. ;)

If I've never critiqued your work before, take it in stride. After all, I'm just trying to help, and you can always ignore/note me.
