Oh, boy! I made the original image that served as the inspiration for this sketch back in 2013, so basically a decade ago.
https://www.deviantart.com/zummeng/.....Life-371198905
I just looked at that old picture, and I just felt a sudden urge to draw it again. I back then that I only knew Gimp as a drawing program, and I got my first digital drawing board around that time. (It was a very basic Genius tablet, and I think I still have it somewhere, and it should still work.)
I know I've said it many times already, but I've been planning the story of the Tree of Life for a very long time. It's not like I knew where I was going with it or if it could ever become a comic. As I compare the two pictures, somehow it feels like they were drawn by two completely different people :D After all, there are 10 years between them. It feels a bit strange, but I feel satisfaction too. At that time, my characters were not yet sufficiently developed in any way, and both my skills and tools were really different.
I have to it I don't know what to do with this sketch right now. I have many pictures that I feel this way about. Maybe time will tell! It's too detailed to include as a small exclusive sketch and submit it alongside the others for voting. But I don't feel I'm up for the challenge of finishing it as a 4K background, even though I'm up for it and I REALLY want this picture to finish just for fun. I just feel I've been more mentally tired recently than usual, so I'll just put it aside for now. (I'll put it next to the other huge pile of pictures I want to finish someday, of course XD )

and then redo the same photo in the present
I get what you mean with tools than and now. I also started with a genius tablet and when it had to be replaced I also noticed that the tools have indeed improved over the years.
Yup. Still crush on her... <3
Oh wait wait wait... abort! abort! XD I'll wait for you to finish it, someday!!! :3 I hadn't read the description (stupid translator =w=)
and her love for all the things that were meant to be
so she created them all with love
and those creations made other creations
and all rejoiced in her love
yet there were those who she despised
in the natural order of the things
the great scheme of things
some were loved
and some were hated,forgotten,ignored
criptic yet balance
love can be cruel
Very cool.
kind of reminds me of divine cherry blossums
More mentally tired than usual? Personally I find gym-time does a lot of good. I live near a Planet Fitness that never closes and went around one in the morning one time because I had a lot of work left to do but needed to get a boosts of energy. After an hour long leg work-out I was revving to go until maybe four in the morning lmao.
Also wanted to say I have very much enjoyed Tree of Life thus far! Very excited to see how the story develops!
