I already know that tonnes of people are going to prefer the September version, and they have every right to, of course. I coloured the September version in a different way; I placed the base colours on before I added the actual colour, whereas in the new April version I immediately began with the actual colour without the base (which was a mistake). I wanted it to give the same sort of vibe as the September version did but I realised too late that I did not colour it in the same way. I tried my best to fix my mistakes, and in the end it turned out alright! (I HOPE so at least lol) I know some people will say: "Ohh but the September version looks more dynamic and has a more interesting perspective!!" That is correct, but honestly I think that the piece looks a lot better at just a side-on perspective, like the OG. This is also the first time I drew this and DIDN'T trace over a base I made in a posing app. I actually was able to, for the first time, draw everything by myself and all of the proportions are stylised in my style — if that makes sense!!

In alot of ways, I do prefer the September version over my new version. But, the September version was rushed and i was using random, muddy colours. I took a lot more care in the new version and used softer colours that complimented eachother. I know some people like the more messy look, and tbh I like it too. Infact I love it! But this time I wanted to take a different approach towards this piece.

I really like the thick, dark lineart in the September version, but I was also inspired by the thin, light lineart in the January(2025) version. I liked the bold colours but I also liked the soft and airy look that I was aiming for in January last year.
