Description My original character Scruballz in my room again.

Old Version: [link]
This was one of the first piece I submitted to dA back in 2009. It was my best piece at the time and I still think it's a pretty good one. I was almost afraid I wouldn't show any improvement but I at last I did and I'm proud of it.

Three years later and the kid's room is still in a mess. My apologies if you've seen many variations of the aforementioned joke. Congrats on getting to the semi-finals! The depth perception is awesome!

Animeshen In reply to ??? [2012-09-17 23:54:11 +0000 UTC]

These are both really good. The second definitely has more depth and perspective, its got a lot of "character"... but the first one has its own appeal with the heavy use of black ink and the concentration more on the guy than on his room. I would say the "better" picture depends more on what you would prefer to focus on.

TheK40 In reply to Animeshen [2012-09-18 01:02:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Animeshen : )
I think what my new one lacks is like you said the use of black ink that kind of gave the piece its own "character". I think that was due from the crosshatching, a technique I ended up not using because of the new medium {shades of grey} I used for the new piece.

TheK40 In reply to Illuusion [2012-09-17 23:43:44 +0000 UTC]

aw, what did the newer one lack that made it less of a character? D:

Illuusion In reply to TheK40 [2012-09-18 19:10:36 +0000 UTC]

The strong contrast is a big plus in the first one and I also find the style more original than the second one. Also I do not like the unnecessary "cool bandages", but I generally dislike things that serve absolutely no purpose. There is clear technical improvement though, can't deny that.

dav3punk In reply to Illuusion [2012-10-22 01:07:30 +0000 UTC]

Looks great overall, but I kinda of agree with Illuusion. The quality of the line and rendering is much better in the new piece for sure. No question there. However, you added so much more stuff that the composition is imbalanced. There isn't much negative space to help define your subject. Also the characters left leg runs into the negative space and visual plane of the cup of pens, making it appear longer than it is. He is anime, you will remain in the Deviant fan-art realm forever. haha. I kid. Send it over if you want a paint-over.

yes, yes, you're right! Will they increase even more?
And do you have/ wear similar boxers (in real life)?
sry for asking. >.<

TheK40 In reply to BaggySagger [2012-09-19 02:55:52 +0000 UTC]

nah they would stay more or less the size of short pants. And I do have similar boxers but they a bit small on me now.

BaggySagger In reply to TheK40 [2012-09-20 21:47:51 +0000 UTC]

I know, I know. I only got a pair of blue ones with red hearts, but no white ones. I bought them about nine years ago, but still like to wear them and they still look good/ don't fall apart. Maybe the colors are a bit more faded now...
