Art Improvement 2008-2011 by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

AKA four years of DYOSvolution. When they say practice makes perfect, they aren't kidding.

Looking back, it's incredible to think that first splash panel represented the pinnacle of my skill at the time. There was never any 'fundamental' shift in my style besides figuring out how to optimize the scans; changes were subtle, incremental, a gradual culmination of experience. Upon reflection, it's a shame I didn't spotlight Reynaud for '08, because contrasting him then to his latest appearance in Christmas '11 exemplifies just how far I've come.

And there's nowhere to go but up.
