I found my old art...

^{So, I stumbled upon my old photobucket account, and whelp; everything still there. It all dates back to 2012, 2013, and early 2014. Get ready to cringe everyone! Feel free to show off your old art, I'd love to see how much you've improved! I've reuploaded it to my stash, since I plan to delete all from photobucket, as I hate photobucket now.}

^{Although I did a lot of traditional art in 2012, I actually still like it and think it's cute. Plus don't have many recent drawings uploaded to show improvements. I'll probably do a few draw it agains with some of the old stuff, like I did here.}

Ah, yeah I remember both of those! We've really improved loads from those days!

You've improved so much!

Part of me is super happy that I can't find any of my super old stuff XD

edit; fixed images. omfg i just hate photobucket x_x

Holy moly look at that improvement! I always love seeing artist's old work and seeing how much their art has grown! :D

Here's some of my old stuff (posting from photobucket but I don't know if it works anymore because photobucket has gotten real lame lately.. if it doesn't work, give me a minute to reupload to stash XD )


I was 11 or 12 when I made these-



I went through a phase where every horse I drew looked like a foal when it wasn't... lol I think I made this way back in the days of simstables or ultimate horse.. hence my ID #
such animation. very wow.




and here's one of my all time favourites (favourite as in, it's so bad that it's hilarious)
I was trying to learn pillow shading because that was super popular back in the day.. this was my first attempt ever.. it was a miserable fail XDD


I think I made this one when I was 13 or 14-



and just some of my newer work to compare below-

@siren I can't see your earlier art! 

On my family's computer, I used to have a program called photoimpression4, and I made manips for a SIM I used to play, and I'm sure I thought they were so good but they must have been terrible.

Oh my god, Photoimpression is what I used to use in high school when I did manipulations XD

I used to do manips, all on paint and looking at them now I'm like... well that looks terrible XD But I was pretty proud of them at the time XD I don't even remember how many years ago these were done XD

Arnie and Chance Manip

Shadow Manip I thought I did so good at blending her legs with the water XD

Christmas Card Manip On the plus side, I think I blended the snow real well XD But you can def tell the horse photos are from different days XD

Nakita Manip This one I am still actually pretty pleased with... 

All the images above belonged to me so since self crediting wasn't really a thing or at least not really mentioned, none of them had image credits.

Micro's Manip Apparently I made a manip for micro... honestly this one isnt that bad either in my mind, though blending could have been better, but hey all of them were done with Paint so not bad if I do say so myself XD

Okay so fun story with this last one/only non horse manip. This one I can actually tell you the year and month on. October 2010. So my family went to Disney World and before he left, for whatever reason, a few mutual friends of ours had insisted he had to get a photo with Cinderella. My brother was going through his teenaged rebellion stage and pretty much was upset to be even going to Disney/wanted to stay home with his friends. My parents ended up deciding they had enough of his complaining and agreed to send him home from the trip early, only he had yet to get his picture with Cinderella. He begged me to add him into the image I had of her and me and so I did. He took a picture of the picture with his phone, and his friends actually bought that he had gotten the picture with her XD My dad still makes fun of the image however, because I failed to notice Cinderella's hand placement... It's not that bad it's just my dad has a warped mind XD

@wiki those are really good for paint!
@vos I thought I was the only one who used photoimpression as I could never find any tutorials on it or anyone who used it! I thought it was pretty decent for what it was.

@Marigold - I'd actually forgotten the name of the program. It's been over 10 years since I used it (oh jeez). From what I remember, it functioned pretty darned well. I didn't even know what GIMP or Photoshop were back then XD

Oh man, my art was so cringy:

I think 2014-2015?
Clicky clicky

Hmm.. 2015-2016 I think 2016
Clicky clicky again!  
(Also, keep in mind; I did sell this art piece to someone, so it is no longer mine. But I made it so I do reserve the right to post it here just as a looky looky and not selling.)

Started this in 2017, and did some of it in 2018
Oh not so cringy!

XD wow. I wish I had more old art I could cringe at!

I love seeing the difference in improvements!!

I started somewhere in late 2013-2015 on GIMP. I'm not sure when exactly but these are what I started with:

my lines/used refs/bought sketch:
   CLICK
other's horse lines, I did everything else and by that I mean did a poor job of everything else:
  


and this is what I was working on last year to this year:

     CLICK CLICK 

And I just recently revamped this which I will have open for redos for the ones who have already bought:
BEFORE | AFTER there's also a western and summer version for the revamped..
