doodles from my earliest sketchbook i could find vs my most recent sketchbook doodles
Also it's so crazy how my art went from getting 0-2 notes back in my early tumblr days to having like 100-1000+ notes nowadays. i cant believe how much ive improved as an artist too. like the skills i aspired to have growing up suddenly started feeling a lot more reachable now. like i feel that im at a closer level to all the other great artists that ive always admired on social media and it makes me feel so good and motivated to keep improving.
I still remember all those moments of frustration and being hard on myself for not feeling like my art is good enough. the art blocks and months of not drawing because of those frustrations. one day i picked myself back up after a year of not drawing and i tried again. And now i can say i am genuinely satisfied with my skills but i still look forward to being able to improve even more.
2014 vs. 2023 and 2015 vs. 2024
guys never feel discouraged in your art no matter what. everyone starts somewhere! you just gotta keep at it and youll reach greater heights eventually.

They always understood the assignment, we just didn’t get it.
So I had a massive realization about Peni Parker after watching ATSV. Originally many were mad that she was super different in her movie debut which I get going from her clear Eva inspiration to just being anime.
When she briefly appears in “Across” she looks more accurate. (just being depressed)
A lot would think that she’s now gonna stay like this to fix their error but if you get to the end of the film...
Her smile and drive restored. Why is that?
Cause they were never trying to make her Eva, she was based on Gurren Lagann the whole time. Her jacket being made up of Simon’s color scheme inverted. She even LITERALLY wears it on her sleeve. Like they really wanted to make sure we got it this time.
Look at the mech when you put them side by side. But this isn’t even the kicker...
She’s doing the iconic Gainax pose at the end of the film. On top of her mech with something loose to epically flow in the wind. *chefs kiss* Yes she’s crossing her arms I went frame by frame.
The reason I like this is cause in mecha the protag always goes through depressing stuff. That’s what Eva is built around. So by taking her in that direction she’s now a love letter to genre, Eva being included in there rather than being the only thing referenced.
Also with this knowledge the Spot looking kinda similar all of a sudden...
Wait it’s all Gurren Lagann? Always has been. With that in mind, you know what that means with him right around the corner.
TL;DR: Peni was a reference to Gurren Lagann the whole time which is just a love letter to everything mecha.
THEY UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT SO HARD, WE JUST DIDN’T GET IT.

When someone else breaks free of the cold, calculating villain that represents the inexorable apathy of the universe, it's called "the indomitable human spirit" and "a shining example to all mankind" but when I, G5 IGUAZU,
