ykw seeing these two images side by side. i think ive had some decent progress in the last few months. this is mostly to dunk on past me for forgetting his 3rd eye & to laugh at how his features changed as i started getting better at drawing them (read: nose). my art is still not at the level i want it to be (i do eventually want to get anatomy & poses & such & i want to get more stylistic) but sometimes you just gotta. idk. recognize ur own progress & all that. thank you school thing for which im painting another oc in the renaissance style for finally giving me a way to color pupils/irises in a way i dont hate.

#the way that ive stopped relying on big lineart #using it more in a stylistic way to add onto a painting instead of outlining all of it nowadays #and i do mean last few months! valerian didnt come into existence until what. september? october?#he initially was just meant to be the slightly grouchy definitely depressed defected garlean ally #but then he turned into my oc of the year. so congratulations val.#also while yes in canon (as of endwalker) he is very much grandpa age (cmon luca get on this) the one on the left is him at 27 #and the one on the right is him right after graduation #this is because i cant draw wrinkles. thank you for your time #(i can if i try i just didnt feel like it)#(and this specific painting (on the right) is very much related to his parents which. he fully moved out of their house at like. 20.#anyway more stuff #he has a nosebump nowadays. or whatever the fuck its called #you know what i mean right #its not that obvious here but basically when i made him as a viera i gave him such a nose #and i thought it suited him. so now he canonically has such a nose.#his eyes have also gotten a LOT darker. all of him got a lot darker but especially the eyes #theyre still red but now theyre also. slightly more natural looking?#eh its whatever
