Description Made for an improvement challenge:  fav.me/dakfu5j

The rule was for the original to have been done at least as late as June 2015 and as it happens, that's exactly when I originally made this one. I had also intended to push my rendering capabilities with the original drawing, so here was a perfect chance to test improvement.

Trying to name off stuff that's improved, I barely know where to start. But the most obvious one has to be the face. It's amazing how little the original resembles her. Working in 3D a while back really helped with that. In addition, the new version also has two light sources, which are represented much better due to greater consistency in the overall lighting patterns. Another one that has to be zoomed in on to see is the addition of a lot more textures on the skin and the pillows on the couch as well as the slice of cake she's holding out. I did throw in a few elements from the old background, but these too needed some working on to fit them in right.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

Here is the old one in fullview:

I like both to be honest. They are both great in their own way. It really is a cool piece. ^^

Thanks! I suppose the daytime one does have its own charms.

Unfortunately I didn't even place an honorable mention for this one, but with so many entries I suppose it was a longshot to begin with. XD

Thank you! Yes, her hair in the first image was based off an incomplete version of her design. She'd only just been revealed as a character at that time.

Yep, the stuff on the table mostly. The tabletop, the rest of the cake and the pitcher as well as the cameo appearance of the Centurions' cores from ToS.

The variation between the two is astounding! You can clearly see all the style changes that happened in a rather short period of time.

Thank you! Hard to believe it's only been a year. It feels like it's been a lot longer. The biggest thing was me working on 3D stuff for the first time and how that affected my drawing of facial anatomy.

It certainly has helped quite a lot. It's amazing all the things that can happen in just a year, huh?
