Okay, the title will spoil my little quiz game, but...

Who remembers this girl!!!???

I DO! I DO!!!

Good 'ol Lalaru.

She's from this really interesting and somewhat under the radar anime series - Now and Then, Here and There. I remember the message it tried to convey - about the ugliness of war and how it affects people, especially children, it also talked about undying hope, courage and revolting against mad dictators - it's amazing how the boy Shu changed that other world! All in all, it a great short series - great animation, interesting characters, EPIC lessons and message...

So yeah, I just drew Lalaru here again after ALL these years. I even found an old drawing I made of her. See here: [link]

I really wanted to see how my drawing style changed. And well, from how things look, I seem to have gotten rid of retracing the lineart with bold ballpen ink lines. Haha! I decided on sticking with really sharp pencils. I don't know. The nice thing about the old drawings is that the bold lines really make the subject pop out, but at the price of crisp details and a softer appearance... The new drawings look more cleaner and easier on the eyes, but the highlights are gone... Wah!!! Whatever! I ain't going back to using ball pens and ink pens. They're just not user friendly - messy, and they blot a lot...
