Look I Can Shade Now!

Antiverse revisited. Back in the day, this was my best example of what I could do as far as digital coloring is concerned. The new image I feel represents a pretty accurate progression of my skills since then. Obviously I'm still learning, and I have a long way to go, but I'm proud of the difference in these two pieces already.

Also as an extra challenge to myself I completed the new image in the same 2-hour time frame in which I competed the old one.
