Westley
Posted 11/7/2024
i finished all my work for october and wanted to draw something but i was in a bit of a rut. i saw a post on tumblr that basically said "if you're feeling an art block, go redraw something old of yours. it'll show you how much you've improved since that last piece" and that became so fucking true.
this piece is a redraw of the image i used for my twitter banner when i first made my account in 2013. i never changed it. and now i guess that i'm primarily on bluesky now, i wanted an updated sadboy banner. so this is that.
the character in this and the original piece is a character named Westley that i've had for a while. he got a redesign around 2016/17 as i was going to try to use him in a game project but i fell off with it. he's always had his fish eyes though.
here's the original below, it's back from when i was just starting college and trying to learn how to do pixel art more. i've not really developed thos skills further, but the way i drew then still feels like it influenced this piece and what i've done. it's neat.
i love sadboys.
