---------------------------------------------
I've seen lots of artists revisit old works to re-do them and see how they have improved, etc, and I thought I'd take some time to do that myself with my pixel art.
Thankfully I'd done something ages ago with enough detail that you would be able to see a difference in quality.

I can't believe the improvement :D

The original reason for doing this sprite was to just play with
and see how much detail I could achieve in a sprite around 120x120 in size.
I'm glad I'd done that, as being able to re-do this really let me see just how much I've improved, and was a lot of fun!
:3

P.S-
This is probably the last piece I put here, as I've moved to
DeviantArt for convenience-
(took over 28 hours for my first image here to be approved Dx..)
