I started this picture purely along my usual 'draw an action line and hurry, it's almost bedtime' lines.� I was closing in on the final pose when I realized it's very close to the
first image of Vata I put up on the site.�
Ordinarily that would cause me to erase and start over, but I felt like I wanted to push on for some reason.� Maybe to see what I've learned, maybe because I was feeling too lazy to start over.
Whatever the case, this picture ends up being an interesting book-end with the first Vata pic.� In that� picture, he's a lot happier, looser in his movement, and shorter.�
Here he looks anxious, underfed, and stiff.� As much as I tried to fight it, his tale's taken a grim turn.
Honestly, his anxiety is probably more a reflection of the fact that I just spent two hours playing
Resident Evil 4 alone in a dark room.
