Ten Year Redraw, Part II

This is the 2013 piece I really wanted to revisit, pretty much ever since I finished it. I was never happy with the rendering or the composition, and even though the text mention's Legolas' small bow, that bow is, like, stupidly small.

"Legolas turned and set an arrow to the string, though it was a long shot for his small bow. He drew, but his hand fell, and the arrow slipped to the ground. He gave a cry of dismay and fear.

...'Ai, ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'" -The Fellowship of the Ring

2023 Redraw:

I love this scene, because to me, it's the first moment things get real for Legolas. Up to this point, the journey has been no big deal for him, even on Caradhras, but now, suddenly, he's faced with the literal manifestation of nightmares, a monster that's only supposed to live in ancient battle-ballads and ghost stories. You can't sing or snark your way out of this one, smartass!

Happy New Year to one and all! May your 2024 be gentle and kind and bright!

…it has been ten years so it was time for a redraw! I was sooo obsessed with Rise of the Guardians back in the day….ofc the lil tooth fairy was the best 💕 the drawing from ten years ago (on the right..) took me about ten hours. I was so set on drawing in every individual feather by hand. Older me knows how to use brushes x)

It's ten-year redraw time!

I'm actually doing two redraws this year, because ironically, ten years ago I was in another Lord of the Rings spiral, and I have several pieces I wanted to revisit. First up is this unfinished piece, which wasn't even all that good by 2013 standards:

The redraw:

"Merry and Pippin in the middle boat were ill at ease, for Boromir sat muttering to himself, sometimes biting his nails, as if some restlessness or doubt consumed him, sometimes seizing a paddle and driving the boat close behind Aragorn's. Then Pippin, who sat in the bow looking back, caught a queer gleam in his eye, as he peered forward gazing at Frodo." -The Fellowship of the Ring

Redrawing this piece reminded me of the stint in high school where I drew Dom and Billy so much that I had a shorthand for their faces, just like now I have a shorthand for Sean's face after this ridiculous year.

2024 <- -> 2009

For the 2500th post, I decided to do a redraw of my anti-drug superhero mascot that I drew when I was ten... yeah there are quite a few differences in the designs because I felt that too many bright colours will make the design more distracting...

Honestly, how I see it is that 2009 Anthony was a kid superhero and then he grew up to become the 2024 redesign... I can hear Edna Mode yelling "no capes" while I was redesigning Anthony-

This will eventually be part of a larger photoset of ancient fic illustration redraws. This one gets to be by itself tho, because for such an ancient fic,,, past me went THE FUCK OFF with the highbloods in Poor Unfortunate Shoals.
