A friend reminded me of an old oc of mine, Mishie and I wanted to give him so love again. I think I'm finding my love for my old characters once again. Also my love for a bit of a rougher sketch that I render over. I used to draw like this all the time on SAI and I think it really is the better way for me to work in some instances. I love doing nice delicate line work but there are just some days I can't. Same with this style of course! I just need to experiment and develop them both further :,) Maybe I'll eventually offer commissions in line with this style again.
Also if any of you remember Mishie, you deserve a veteran's discount. He was a character I didn't really work with too much, but still showed up every so often, especially when I wanted to practice rendering scars. Drawing him with Dax again really reminded me of how much I missed this era of my art. I feel like I really drew things for the joy of it, if that makes sense. Not that I don't still love it, but there was a certain level of carelessness to it I do miss a lot. Or, more like I didn't care if I fucked up. I'd like to find that vibe again this year :,)
