Nostalgy & Remakes--

[tomoe_daeva]

Today I was looking around my old albums and I found some pretty old arts∼
It's almost 10 years old (I was 18, happily attending Art School... Aah, I liked my High School times, so much fun ;_;), but I still like these--

Those are spectacular pieces of art! And for something that you made well over ten years ago! *_*
At as a teen I was more into mythology (but back then I drew females more). X3

Thank you! Ahah, well, my "style" didn't change very much over the years XD
After the Art School I went to University, and there I stopped drawing to focus on writing (since I was studying to become a scriptwriter, LOL XD) and when I drew it was mostly anime-styled stuff (I mean... Big eyes and such-- I always had a sort of anime style, in fact my profs were pretty wary about it XD)... I think that I returned to improve my skills when I started to draw yaoi... It's a paradox, I know, but since I wanted to draw "manly" men I had to re-learn to draw a lot of things more realistically ^_^;
I drew lots of females too! Ahah, tomorrow I'll probably scan more old stuff to show you :D

lol! I think a lot of people who draw anime could be easily spotted out, even if they try to draw in a more realistic style it would still show through. XD I know my tutors and some fellow students would pick these out of my art. ^^;
Writing! I'm not the most strong in this area, but it would be nice to get into that area.
I think Yaoi had gotten me to draw male anatomy much better. XD; Though I still stick to the anime like look.

Anime style surely is some kind of curse XD
Yeah, the same about male anatomy :'D And I really like your style, it's so cute and fresh é_è

It would seem that being a pervert really does help improve one's art. XDD Aww, thanks! ^^
