2 Year Comparison

On assorted art sites, I see folks take a drawing they did years ago and redraw it at their current level of skill. So...I decided to do the same to warm me up for drawing the other day ^_^ This was the result.




This is Leilani, the daughter of Dumi and Neha Ayele. At the time, when I created Leilani, her parents hadn't been designed, yet. So, I just sketched her out on a whim. But, now, nearly two years later, her parents are fully realized:




And so, I was able to infuse a bit of her parents' looks into her. For example, her coat is the same hue as her father's while she's got her mother's cougar markings. Her hair and eye color come from her grandparents and other relatives. She's still very much a tomboy (with 4 brothers, how could she not be? ^^; ) but, she's a little more...pretty, now.

Anyway, I need to make bookmarks and key chains and other assorted trinkets and knickknacks for the pair of conventions that I'll be attending this year. With the comic finished, now I have a little more time to accommodate that need. I still have commissions to do, but I have more time to work on both tasks side by side ^__~
