Description Eh... I was always interested in doing it anyway, I have my old notebooks around actually, I carry these shameful memories everywhere :3 The highlight I guess was 2008, which is funny because it was a really shitty year, after that I don't really see much other interesting things

And I should really get around remaking those comics I had in my notebooks, I looked at them now and some of them were actually more funny than cringeworthy, I'm surprised.

2011 was a very important year for me, first month I spend trying hard not to commit suicide, then I leave my parent's religion, then I go wandering on the summer, drawing buildings and people on the streets, then next year starts, and I decide I'd rather draw what I wanted already and so MentalCrash and Mirror's Cycle were born. Trivia Trivia, both my father and brother second name is 'Daniel' that's where it came from.

Then 2012 came, first I got tired for some months, then came back but my Intuos broke, my fault, and because of money issues (moving to a different place) I had no internet for a while, then I travelled to Germany, but I couldn't bring my tablet right away.

Then 2013, I fixed the tablet finally, got internet and started drawing again, that span between the last quarter of 2012 and the first one of 2013 helped me realise about what I wanted to dedicate time on, but now there is still the issue of learning to situate everything properly when drawing, but eh... I'm positive about the future, let's see how things go down next year.

The original improvement thingy was made by this gal : *Kamaniki

Who I'm sure must be pretty tired of having to delete Mention messages from his feedback

Template here .3.



And that's all, I'll finally work on the next set of pages for IISY now, I pwomise =3

Can you draw something super duper inspiring in that style again? I promise to make a super duper poem if you do


It doesn't need to be any time soon, as I'll be watchin' you for years to come

Sure. I wasn't suggesting you shouldn't strive for anything more, I think we should all work on improving ourselves. It was just intended as a compliment.

You ask yourself if you will ever learn to draw, I ask myself "Will I ever be able to draw half as well as MentalCrash?"

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I guess by the end of the day the biggest critique of your stuff is always yourself, the problem is that now I know most of the mistakes I make but I don't quite know yet how to fix them, that's frustrating.

ThelVadum In reply to MentalCrash [2013-12-24 16:23:57 +0000 UTC]

That's better than me, my problem is getting embarrassed at how crappy my art is, so I stop drawing for weeks on end, so I never get better... it's like an endless cycle.

Mulgorath [2013-12-24 07:52:13 +0000 UTC]

Well this is truly intriguing, seeing improvement through the years in art style of a single person.
If I did one of these there would be ovals with stick limbs and filled in black dots for very many years, then there would be a gap in between because a friend of mine discouraged me from drawing with his talent, this made me resent my pastime so very much.
I still have one drawing left from that time, every piece of paper had a story I made up, poorly thought out stories but still, there were the 138 Andys (yeah I know I used my name as the faction's title cut some slack for my kindergarten self), all having different abilities, personalities, all that stuff, their mortal enemy the Patricks (my brother's name we were at each others throats back then.

Why I'm typing this, I'll never know. For god sakes I'm the person who sings Highwayman when people talk about death, I'm weirdly random like that. Why am I still typing!? You know what I've committed to this comment here I go.

I've been actually angry at my stuff for a while seeing some person I admire being so much better, but I prefered to gulp down that anger and just practice hard so I can beat him some day.

Oh, the ones from 2003 to 2006 were all notebook drawings, I filled one every year with all sort of funny things, I think I could have done more but my family was really poor back then.

I can understand that. But I sit on the both side of the fence on this one. I believe that tallent and skill makes the difference. : P But it's just my opinion. I must agree however that you do have the skills and put a lot of time on your artwork. For that, I applaud you for a job well done. Merry Christmas!

this is really cool! Β i kinda want to make one of these now... but my old stuff is on my other devintart account that everyone i know knows about, and i'd rather keep them seperate... Β  its funny though. Β that squid-alien guy from 2010 is just like some of the stuff i used to do. Β bravo on the improvement altogether! Β

All things find their place, and all people strive for theirs. Your progression proves this fact. Pride may come before the fall... but I think you have plenty to be proud of

I love seeing stuff like this. Watching an artist evolve over time. It shows what time and dedication it takes to learn these skills and find your own style that says 'this is me'. Or money.. w/e.

Thanks for sharing your old crappy art! Look forward to your future work.
