Duff McWhalen '10

A slightly dated piece of Mega Man X5 fanart I intended to turn into a series, but apparently I lost my motivation along the way. To be fair, the team scene's pretty much been in a creative slump for at least the past year and a half or so (with a few exceptions), so maybe that got to me. But still.

I'm still not a professional when it comes to backgrounds; in fact, I think my original plan was to have help me vectorize it and come up with a background, but yeah. I would like to get back to this and actually complete a full series of these drawings at some point if possible, but we'll see how that goes. In the meantime, I'd like to know if I actually could improve on this. Comparing this to the couple of pics I uploaded the other day (ignoring the fact that those two are a lot more detailed, of course), how much has my style improved in the past year and a half?
