I would make some joke about having turned into a bitter alcoholic, but let's face it, I don't drink, so let us just get to the point. It was a rough summer for me, a lot of work, and it does seem like the hardest part about it, OpenGL, might be nearing its end now (I'll show you people what I created once I'm done). I also did the 4th chapter of my comic, and 2 out of 3 artworks that I owed people... and have made debt with a different person meaning that I'll have more to do in the future...... yay. These commissioned pictures are the closest I get to making my own work to the maximum of my abilities. They are made with my own lineart, while also (unlike my own comic) requiring me to use the best of my abilities. And that combination kind of stinks, so I still feel like injecting myself with the drug known as "remakes".

Ahh remakes... taking the work of a much more talented and skilled artist (with received permission of the artist in question) and attempting to imitate the picture, to make yourself feel better, as if you were able to ever create something as grand as this.... yeah, just talking about it makes me feel great shame, while also making me feel like my image is hideous. BUT... ugh *rubs his face* ... focus...

Ahundred gave me his permission long ago... I needed almost a month to make this, I toyed with some options, I added some fancy texture style things to some elements and.... made some different choices including making the feet bigger or... other stuff. I'm sorry... in my defense, I did also toy with the idea of adding some green rubber ducky, so let's take comfort in knowing that I didn't go with that.

It's no improvement, and I guess an hour ago I thought that it's no downgrade either, but writing this, I loose certainty. You guys decide.

Look at the original from 6 years in the past:
