Description This is a remake of my original Village Guardian piece. [link]

It is a special picture to me, because I think it marks a turning point in my art. Many of the techniques I've been observing and practicing came together well in that piece.
I still really enjoy the composition and concept, but it was looking a little dated next to my recent art, so I thought I would re-draw the picture, using the things I've learned over the last year and a half.

I made it wider, too.
Enjoy!

I have really enjoyed the original as well. It reminds me of a cozy night in a forest, where there isn't anything to worry about. Just living in pure present.
This new one has a lot more detail in it, though. The improvement is very noticeable. Well done.

Thank you.
I thought it was a fun idea and the original was looking a bit dated, so I had to go back and improve it.
It was a fun piece to come back too.

More detailed light effects and sharper edges, it is beautiful.
Although I did not finished my project at all, but I have to check it out before end of the year!

It's good to hear that, too. I've seen some artists on here make huge improvements in a short period of time...
That made me wonder if I could do the same thing, so I stared practicing.
I'm much more satisfied with my art now.

Indeed.
The variety in the art is rather neat. It is a good place to see and learn new techniques.
