Improvement thingy comparing my art now against it from two years ago around the same time. I've improved more than I thought although I kinda cheated cuz I changed his design some haha :P
It looks better^^ The whole glowing stuff was too distracting. Sometimes less is more, and by enlarging the arm you made him look more bad-ass. Give him an evil smile and he looks like a stage-boss for a video game. XD

Woah, the improvement is really at hand! :D Great work! Your style looks way better if to compare those two, yet never the less cuttier! Maybe even more~

He was a lot taller and thinner before that's true. I felt awkward keeping him that way because the old flat-color blocking is more stylized whereas I was more focused on technique and rendering for the new one, and correct anatomy was a bigger concern.

You really improved a lot, but I got to that I like his old design better; his arm looks way to heavy for him and the symboles kind of finisht him. tho, the lichts are better this way.

You're not the only one who seems to be along this line of thinking. A lot of people like my old stuff better. And here I was thinking I'd made some progress hahaha

As for the armor being too heavy for him, it's made out of some super-light futuristic alloy that's conductive to the resonant energy of the planet where it draws it's power from. It's basically coated in a thin sheath of electromagnetic energy that makes it impervious to most metals and energy weapons. PRETTY COOL STUFF and I like it because it's a fusion of magic and tech ~ he comes from a pretty detailed universe actually

Yeah. Back in the day a friend and I were trying to design a world that could incorporate steampunk, high fantasy and soft science fiction all into the same story. It ultimately failed but there ar estill a lot of cool bits and pieces that I use for other things :)

The concept was that it's part of a salvaged suit of mech armor and all he could get out of it were the arm and power supply. It's a hyper light-weight metal strengthened with some kind of science power like idk ... it's sheathed in an electromagnetic field that repels metals from the surface - i.e. it's bullet/sword-proof.

I am surprised no-one has made the 'I'm single and my left arm is a lot bigger than my right arm, if you know what I mean!' joke.
In my opinion, the change seems lateral, that is to say, not necessarily better or worse but more a change of style. Both of these look pretty good to me for various reasons each.

hur hur. I think there's definitely improvement in the shading and rendering, and in the anatomy and face especially I don't like the old style at all anymore, although there's some stuff to be said for the stylistic way it's drawn that I stll like or could find useful

Mmhm! As I said, I like the left style for various reasons, but I also like the right style for other reasons. I can clearly see what you mean about the shading, but then again, there was next to no shading on the left one. Cannot compare paint when you're comparing walls, one with and one without paint, when what you're looking at is how well it's constructed.

I prefer the first version xD thought the body angle looks wrong, i prefer the style, your colouring is better then before but i can't say i really see much improvement in style but then i prefer more anime style, so it just depends on peoples tastes :3

Yeah I'm getting this response quite a lot, more than I expected really. Then again, I'm just a very glacial artist in terms of improvement. Everything takes me ten times longer and a hundred times more work to do than most people xD

no sword and cool glowy power on symbols for yoooou new one you'v just bin working out and git a bigger arm.....and wow what a change in styles in just 2 years.

I do say so, a lot of those comments refer to the content more than your evolution in your art, the new one is much more refined and "correct" for lack of a better term, You should be proud how far you've come in such a short time, not bummed cause some one is missing the glowy bits and cannon in the new one silly *squeezes*

I can't agree with that X3 design is too subjective, I like the new design, in my eyes it works better :3 and of course others will have other opinions but that's not really a basis defining the improved quality of your work

Afterall, its not like you couldn't have put the gun or glowy bits in, you just chose not to~ but had you they would also have shown the same improvement in ability as the rest of the picture :3

I think after reading through a few I would have to very politely disagree X3 while both look great the more current one shows improvements in mechanics and pose and the important quantifying parts of art, again I think for many they're basing it too much on their personal likes and dislikes rather than an objective assessment of the art itself, which happens~

Both are pretty good! Clearly an improvement, though, as is to be expected, particularly in the pose and cleanliness of its presentation. Also noticeable - although not quite as critical - is that the mechanical arm is now much larger, which is a nice touch. And for what it's worth, I feel like the older one is giving off a bit of a Scott Pilgrim style...

Also I like the big rifle thing in the first pic. (Although I suppose a giant mechanical hand that looks like it could backhand someone through a brick wall could be useful in a fight too...)

I'm glad you think so ~ seems about 50/50 with people saying I haven't improved, just changed, or that they outright think the first one is just better lol

Well, that remaining 50% seems to put preference over application here. I like the old one too, but I can see a dramatic artistic evolution between the two, and I like the newer one better. |3
Then again, the consumer end of art is ALWAYS preference focused. I wouldn't pay that the preference bit much attention unless it was a commission, truth to be told.

I think your newer one shows a great amount more confidence - not just confidence in your lines (they are bolder, stronger, cleaner), and in the quality of your art, but also the design shows more confidence in your vision. Confidence that the mode subtle lights would work, confidence that you could go over the top with the arm and still have it work, and so on.
But in every change, there will be good in the old. I like the old pose, though the new pose is just as good in its own way. The old pose was cooler, more graffiti-wacky; the new is more real and solid.
You've really developed a lot in that time, and your style has changed and evolved. I like seeing this evolution :) Maybe revisit it in two more years?

Yeah, I really liked this piece when I made it which is why I chose this one, so maybe next year around this time I'll take another crack at it, or I'll go and try for a different piece I really liked sometime

this is the second time I've looked at this pic ins today and I got to say again how much I love it and would absolutely die if you did more of them or gave them more armor hehe I love symmetry.
