Art Improvement meme

[elaby]

This meme has been going around DeviantArt (filled in by much more talented people than I) and I thought it would be fun to do :) It's a tall image file with little thumbnails of pictures I've done year by year, four per year, since 2003. I discovered that my computer didn't hold on to "date created" information for anything that I moved over onto my first Macbook in 2007, so it was kind of hard to figure out what pictures came from which year O_o So there may be one or two that are off a year or so. Anyway! Big image under the cut, and listing of who's in each picture following.




Here's who is in each picture, left to right. They belong to me unless credited otherwise :)
2003: Legolas (LotR), Okami (belonging to templarwolf), Ishmerai and Arnica, and Pele (belonging to caitirin)
2004: Saitou (Rurouni Kenshin), Mirtillo, Draco (Harry Potter), Taylan (belonging to caitirin)
2005: Random tattooed person, Janey, Theo, Flynn
2006: Trinny, Usagi (Sailor Moon), Hazu, Pele (caitirin)
2007: Alexi (caitirin's), Cai (caitirin's), girl snuggling cat for an online magazine, Anthy (Utena)
2008: Singing girl, Gideon (mine) and Luca (caitirin's), Duo (Gundam Wing), Holmes and Watson (ACD's)
2009: More Holmes and Watson, Vasily Livanov!Holmes and Vitaly Solomin!Watson, Mirai, Tim Stamper and Francis Urquhart (House of Cards, fanart of liek_woah86's fic)

I love seeing things that show how I've actually improved :3 I haven't done much coloring lately, but I've gotten better at drawing people that are supposed to look like actual actors! XD And Victorians. Wonder how that happened?

Thank you so much! :D That's an awesome idea... I like the uncropped version of that picture a lot, too, and the glowy cigarette thing took me forever and I was very pleased with it. I never thought of doing anything with it, though! Thank you ^_^

It would definitely be an awesome poster! =)
