Description
I planned to finish this meme some months ago but I couldn't make the new version look right. To be honest, I spent so many hours drawing and correcting the same parts that my eyes hurt now, seriously X______________X ;;;;.But back to the picture...
Improvement memes are very motivating and inspiring. I love looking at other people's entries. I decided to make a new version f my 'Bonds of Death' pic because I couldn't stand looking at this lame shading and clothes;;;; (not to mention lame skulls). Well, there's still a lot of things for me to learn and improve but I already started enjoying playing with light and colour. I need more practice of course. I just wish my bishies drawing skills improved faster :___:.

This is beyond gorgeous and has inspired me very much. It makes me want to take the time to recreate one of my past works and turn it into something amazing. The picture on the left was amazing enough, but your redraw of it is incredible! Lovely job! :3

Thank you very much!
The one who created this meme was a genius . It's very motivating to create the better version of your picture. You try your best to improve by using the knowledge you gained through last years. I looked carefully at other people's progress memes and it's easy to notice how the anatomy, use of colours, perspective, lighting improved. There are also nice changes in their character's designs. Why not trying it yourself?
It's challenging but also rewarding when you see your own progress. Good luck!

Very nice! the 2012 one reminds me of the main character in Deathnote(can't remember his name)

bensstone In reply to Crazythewaytobe [2013-01-17 10:37:15 +0000 UTC]
How could you? He probably reminds you of either Light or L. Most likely Light Yagami.

Yes Light was his name!

I usually leave the comments like this without a reply because people tend to write about similarities to their favourite characters and I find it funny . For me as the author, it's hard to find any resemblance since I drew my own character the way I see him in my mind. Is it his appearance or the 'Death" theme that makes people see Death Note instead?
π: 0 β©: 1
bensstone In reply to Red-Priest-Usada [2013-01-18 01:04:22 +0000 UTC]
It's a combination of both.
Your character has slightly dishevelled, black hair similar to 'L' of "Death Note", the other main character of the series. At the same time, the dark atmosphere around your character and the "Death" theme make people draw a link between the slight semblance to 'L' and Death. *click* People see Death Note.
Light Yagami is the main, main character who is in possession of the Death Note and as such, some may see Light instead.
Thanks for asking me of all the people who commented!

I like the first ones color and idea better but you very noticeably improved on the second one.
