Today marks 6 years of online activity since my first ever post on DeviantArt; an MSPaint drawing of Willow. As a bi-yearly challenge, I redrew her again using all the skills I've learned from my time as a digital artist!
#Willow! (Online presence 3rd bi-anniversary)

I've been through a lot since last time I tried this; Getting into EXE (and the drama that comes with it) taught me a lot about not just some new PS tricks, but also in character design and anatomy.
Despite the slop, the community is still a goldmine for inspiration. Sure all I've been drawing for the past year or so has been nothing but a bunch of stupid bloody shrews, but with that came a ton of new friends and relations. I got to meet a lot of awesome artists, some of which I'm glad to call my friends, technically.
I love you guys so much, both old friends and new, you're genuinely one of the reasons I keep going
Here's to another two years of bullcrap and pushing through it. 🍷

That's a very unique take on the character, I respect that you try to do your own thing even tho you based it on something already present. The best part for me personally would be... The hat. It's very.... How do I say it. Has a real feel to it. It's visibly affected by gravity and physics. Anyways you still keep the shy but nice to others energy Willow has + your signature funny beaks with some cheeks movement when characters talk or smile, so you are still very much kicking well. The color of hers is very bright and pure, soft. Even more so than the og. I love this art a lot. Couldn't resist posting a big and emotional comment ngl)

“Funny beaks” 💀
I mean they do look funny by the proportions and how you add these small lines around the beak. In a good way. Goofy and cute. I don't know why you think of that in the negative way

I dont you’re fine I just think it’s funny lol
Ether way thank you for your comment, I’m glad you like it so much

Oh. Got used to seeing the skull emoji in the negative form too much so for me they're sign of the discomfort or anger on the other end of the dialogue.

To me it just means speechlessness

Another thing - her tongue looks like a heart. That's goofy too.
It also shows how much love she has, as she's considered to be the cutest and pure hearted character of the fandom

I just did it cuz I thought it was cute lol

It is! Tho I like some vibes and symbolic meanings too, which isn't the case but on the other wing... It's very fitting, just think about it.
