My partner was tabling at a con and Duncan Gutteridge happened to be her neighbour, so she got me a signed print! Drawing the box art for Sonic 2 as a kid is like a core memory for me so that was pretty cool, and funnily enough he now teaches art at the college where we first met

I mean I've got a pretty good idea of how they might've approached it, but their current disdain for pixel art would to be too great a hurdle
Redraw of Ramza using the same dimensions as the Ivalice Chronicles (couldn't find clean versions) and hd mobile sprites, way more room to play with than I expected, would've been interesting to see how they'd have approached a non-chibi design
Make it exist, make it look good, make it look gooder, start to believe you're good at drawing, make it look even gooder, realise you're not that good at drawing, abandon it, think of something else to draw, repeat
As is tradition I started with the shittest thing I've ever drawn, then gave up a few months after the 5th/6th iteration
Frame from an animation I was working on a while back that I'll probably never finish
