Art Improvement <3

I was looking at some old art and found some digital paintings i did a year ago

For comparison these are a couple pieces i did recently

Happy to see I'm improving ❤️

Old Art Time!

This was the first piece I ever did in fire alpaca. I didn't have a tablet yet, so I was still using a mouse. This was my attempt to see if I could make what i usually did in MS Paint work in Fire Alpaca.

I liked the piece but didn't end up making the switch to fire alpaca until I had a drawing tablet. Partially because it took 3 times as long to draw and really hurt my wrist.

This was the first time I tried to digitally draw a person. I was still using a mouse and Ms Paint at this time. I had just learned the trick to making a certain color transparent when selecting. That's how I made the web like hairband and sleeves. Her name is Rachel.

I wouldn't call her an OC because there was no thought put into her character or story. Honestly the real story she tells is a piece of me coming to the realization I was Lgbtq+. I was very smitten with her.

This piece was made in the beginning of 2018 and was my first piece in Fire Alpaca and using my new drawing tablet.

I was big into Villainous at the time and my favorite was Dr. Flug. I was fascinated with what could be under that mask. I didn't use much for creative juices and just gave him a normal human face.

I remember really wanting dramatic lighting and dark shadows but I couldn't figure out how especially seeing as Fire Alpaca didn't have a straight up bleeding brush. sense the scribbling. I was unhappy with this at the time but it was an important start. it was also just during a drawing slump so there was only so good I could feel about it.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

This was one of my first pieces of digital art. It was made in ms paint and drawn with a mouse. I had been drawing ponies traditionally for a few years at this point. This was the first piece where Mare's design really stuck. this was their cannon design for quite a while. However I recently completely redesigned them.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

I was a huge Ink Potts fan. Their Count of Monte Cristo animatics in particular were very inspiring to me. The pony to the left is Mare my ponysona and to the right is my ex's character. I drew our ponysonas a lot.

I still love this one honestly I've always been very proud of it. I've been thinking of redrawing it with Mare's updated design and my new partners pony.

Another Bill this time with clay. I never baked this one so he is lost to time but at least I have a picture. IRL he was very small don't think I could have even moved him off the table. His arms were toothpick thin and even if baked probably would have broken off. I love his little flame though.

Some art I remember very well. This one... well, I remember my little brother asking me to make a Cruella De Vil pony... and then I did.

This was one of my favorite pieces in 2016. I loved how menacing this quote was. I also loved Bill Cypher, so much that he later inspired my name. I drew him a lot!

Hi, I'm Cypher. I've been drawing for over a decade now and built up a lot of random art. I decided to raid my old collection and start posting it.

These are not the oldest pieces I have but they were some of the first MLP fan art I drew. In fact Fluttershy in the upper left hand corner was my first attempt at drawing a pony.

This is what I typically consider the first art I ever made. Everything before this was just a creative outlet and mindless scribbling. This was the first time I was aware I was trying to make art.
