then and now by chid0

I've been so far only estimating Jazzys age (how long she exists, that is), since allthough I do still own the first drawing of her I ever did, there is no date on the picture. But yesterday evening I had an inspiration how to find out exactly the year she came into being, and I was struck by the realization that she has been around for twelve years now.
She's half my age, she has been around for half of my life, that's pretty crazy. (god I am so old how did this happen)

You did a great job. I recently did my own 'then and now' and it's extremely rewarding to see how far you've come. Just imagine how much better you'll be next time!

Vidíš a mě trvalo bůh ví jak dlouho, než jsem přišla na nějaký přijatelný způsob jak kreslit vlnité vlasy, ale tak aby nevypadaly moc formálně, nebo debilně

You kind of made me remember how old am I (actually quite close to you age I guess) and all the unsuccessful attempts to draw something I did over the years, starting again and again...

chid0 Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2012 Hobbyist

I just turned 25. I made myself remember how old I am too, with this :] I'm sure that if I'd put all the paper together I used to draw this character again and again for all those years, I could heat a small house for a year with it. I was "lucky" having a childhood where all I could do was read books (which tended to run out and there was no library) or draw, I am pretty sure that's the sole reason for being able to do it decently - I did little else throughout my puberty other than draw :]

It was full of unsuccessful attempts to build a circuit of some kind or a machine here as well, but otherwise it was quite similar. But still I'm far better at engineering and computer science than drawing. I guess I haven't draw that much, when I was younger...

mna stve ze som byvala ovela bezstarostnejsia ked som si kreslila, teraz sa prilis snazim aby to bolo neviemako dokonale a zbytocne sa trapim

ale hej ona mala odjakziva divne vlasy, ale dobre sa to kreslilo, same prave uhly a potom uz len vyfarbit XD

With great talent comes great responsibility!!

Ale viem co myslis...Je to ine kreslit len pre ten pocit, ze nieco robis ako kreslit pre vysledok, ktory z toho vznikne :/...

Týý jo.. mít postavu 12 let! To je fakt hustý.. můj nejstarší OC je taky starý nějak tak, ale na příběh, do kterého patřil jsem zanevřela asi po sedmi letech jeho existence, při které se i tak hrozně moc měnil.
Kolik ti bylo, když jsi kreslila to první?

chid0 Featured By Owner Feb 6, 2012 Hobbyist

13 :] polovica mojho terajsieho veku. to ma na tom najviac zaraza... a ono jej pribeh sa menil tiez, ale povedala by som ze to co sa menilo bola "vyzdoba", vstahy medzi hlavnymi postavami (okrem Adriana, ten je mlady, vznikol pred troma rokmi), a myslienka pribehu v podstate ostavala zachovana. ostatne stale nieje hotovy. ona sa podla mna nezmenila skoro vobec, aj ked to sa fakt tazko sudi, clovek ani sam o sebe nema pocit ze sa za dvanast rokov prilis zmenil, aj ked sa v skutocnosti zmenil riadne :]
planujes mu vymysliet novy pribeh? skoda zanedbat niekoho kto existuje uz tak dlho :]

Závidím ti, že máš takový stabiní příběh. X"D Na tom mém se už za pouhé necelé dva roky od začátku stihlo změnit snad všecko, kromě některých scén a vztahů hlavních postav. (protožeprávě ty vztahy a ty scény mám nejraději). Taky bych chtěla, aby mi příběh vydržel tak dlouho... no, začala jsem ho v šestnácti.

Možná ho někdy někam začlením, mám k němu takový zvláštní vztah... X"D I když těžko říct... vymyslela jsem ho v sedmi nebo šesti letech, úplně původně byl trenér pokémonů a pak hlavní hrdina růpzných fantasy příběhů, co se vždycky uměl měnit ve draka. (milovala jsem draky... teď už do nich blázen nejsem. Poslední tři příběhy se bez nich úplně obešly.)

Ich seh den Unterschied kaum. (XD)

chid0 Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2012 Hobbyist

I have trouble spotting the differences myself to be honest XD I mean it's obvious that my style has changed but for me that's still the same person XD
