Hi! I understand that, which is why I sent the paragraph trying to clarify things. If you saw my post on TikTok about my much older art, you’d see that my art has always been very inconsistent. I still don’t exactly have a style down, and that is something that I’m still struggling with as an artist. Finding an art style is a very long and hard process, at least for me, and it’s not really something to force. Another reason for the art change is because I began taking college art classes in the middle of creating the art for Just Be Patient. I personally do much better with structured learning, so I think that helped me improve a lot. And with the differences in skin tone, I also struggle with colorization sometimes when the art has such different lighting. Everything in the later images is darker (intentionally, to create more of a grim atmosphere as his actions get worse and worse) but I guess I made the skin tone in particular too dark, which is my mistake. There are also inconsistencies with his other features for a couple reasons. I made the mistake of not making a character sheet or anything like that for him. In fact, the first pictures I ever drew of Calvin were his sprites. This is because it was initially supposed to be a very small project, I never expected the game to end up where it did, so at the time I didn’t really care enough about it to put hours of work into a character sheet for a game I thought nobody was going to see. I think I struggled the most with his hair, especially since I am absolutely not used to drawing short hair, specifically from different angles. That’s how we ended up with scouse trim Calvin lol. I also am not really used to drawing men, for the longest time I would only draw women or feminine men, so drawing Calvin was extremely out of my comfort zone and I made a few mistakes. I hope this makes sense, and I hope it clarifies things. I’m sorry again for deleting your comments before, have a nice day.
