Description
I guess this speaks for itself...
Some portraits I made in the years from 2001 'till... well... last month!
I hope this encourages people to create the things they like, whether it's drawn from reference images or just totally made up.
Sorry for the low quality. I can't post a high res version of this thing right now because my internet connection is terribly slow since last week. And my internet provider says they'll fix it within 2 weeks. Grrr!!!
If you want to see an old version of a 6 year progress, check this out:
From 2002 to 2007
Take care people. Sorry if I haven't replied your messages yet (the notes about this 3gp converting included). I'll read and reply them as soon as possible. ):

I love seeing the progression. I have a friend who I've watched his talent progress and expand. He used to sell packs of desktop pictures, about 1 or so a year. I bought from the first year.. it's amazing to see the work he does now compared to the beginning. You will only get more and more exceptional. Everyone who is hoping to be more like you will also hopefully notice the amounts of time devoted to each drawing. At the beginning, you were at 30 minutes to an hour, the most recent 15-30 HOURS. You are amazingly detailed, but such detail takes time. My boss always said "slow work takes time".

Omg, wow! I've only just scene this picture and wow, the newer ones look realistic to the point of me wondering if you even used pencils! O.O
Amazing job with the pencils, shading, backgrounds, and texture of everything from clothes to the strands of hair.
I wanna watch your deviant now.
