Remi Ketsueki - Monster Realm
so a bit of background, Remi can from thsi online roleplay I had with a friend.
he was one of my main characters.
i honestly don’t remember much about him or the story unfortunately. Just some random details. Like my life xddddd (silly)
he’s a demon king from the said monster realm. I remember his partner was a mute girl named ashura, and he had a brother that was corrupting the monster realm. Startingwith the dmeons and specifically Remi.
but if i remember correctly, it ended up being an itachi situation
and just remember, even if you don’t think you’re improving at art, you are. You just need to have the moment to look back
drawn in 2021, when i had covid and nothing else to do lol
during christmas time
This was my very first drawing of him when we just started the roleplay
inspired by some pinterest characters i saw
I remember being so so so proud of it.
it was geniunely the best thing i’d ever made at time.
and i remember struggling so much because i was running out of my black colored pencil. By the time i was done with this drawing, i had a fingernail’s length left out of the black. Don’t worry, it’s now in retirement xd
the aniversary commemoration
this was made in 2022 alsoduring christmas time, up until feburary cause of how busy i’d gotten
This was another HUGE improvement for me.
especially posing and structure wise
and my newest remake coincidentally had a very similar pose to this one. Despite me looking at the og more lol
i made this one also during Christmas time. During 2023, wanting to continue the tradition
at the time, we’d finished their story, but we’d been working on the next generation.
i was very original with the kid. Literally just my oc design. Because i had no idea what design to give them
As you can see, it never actually got completed sadly. I got so busy that i never had the time to finish it. Though i’m considering to call it finished here and not color it lol
it shows even more improvement i think
a lot happened throughout the years. Lots of struggles, lots of changes, and lots of good things too. I learned about myself, whom i could call friends, and what i valued as a person.
one thing i love about art is that it’s the ongoing improvement of the self, and it’s something i correlate to a lot in my life. I’ve had many moments i’m not proud of. And deel guilty about. And i’m sure many others do too. Moments where i now that i’m older, i realize wasn’t something i should’ve done. But that’s the important thing about growth, life and art.
that friend i did this roleplay with, we aren’t as close as we used to be. And based on own core values now, they’re more of an aquintence. And that’s okay. But I’ve learned how to be a better version of myself for those i can call my friends today.
because to me friendship isn’t about who’s “good” and who’s “bad”. As it’s so often defined by society. Just like art is. But it’s about the effort, understanding, and wanting to grow.
But let it be known, i don’t regret meeting any of my friends in my life. Whether or not we’re still as close as we were. Or with we would argue. I’m proud of all of them <3
i’ve grown so much looking back, both irl and in art, and I know everyone else has too
it’s that no one starts out perfect, or even amazing.
but with lots of effort and work and time, you can be better.
and with that, i’m sure it’s also something AI could never do.
i’m proud of everyone that ever comes across this
and never stop trying to improve.
and at last… the latest remake
