Symbol of Change

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”
~George Bernard Shaw

It's been three long years since I've joined DA. What can I say? It's been fun? Nah, amazing, to say the least.
I spent the first year simply admiring the artwork that was in this place. Yes, that little phase you get when you first join something. But really, the main reason I didn't upload anything at the time was because I literally was just getting to know this whole "Internet" craze the kids were raving about.
Anyways, before I start to reminisce, I uploaded what I thought at the time was my greatest artwork ever: The Symbol of Faith. [link]
Yeah, back then this was my gold medal. Back then, I used to draw nothing but graffiti and other abstract stuff.
Ya' know, anything but people...

Two years later, I draw nothing but people. Can you believe that?
So the person here would be Kaze Trane. A character I've created and raised throughout some time. This would be a close up of her, something I've never done on anybody.

In a nutshell, this piece is a "Old meets new" type of thing.
After being cut off of the internet for a few days, I reflected on old artworks. Compared, then got the idea.
