Aelin of the Otherpaths 2010

It's almost ironic...or was it more fated? I don't know which.
Today I felt like re-drawing something old, re-working it and experimenting with new skills/styles. While sifting through my stuff, I stumbled upon my old Aelin of the Otherpaths images and I realized something: I joined DA on November 25, 2008. I'll have been a Deviant for two years in a couple of days.
How could I pass this up?
So here we go. Yet another re-working of my very first Deviation, done a little before my two-year mark. I've improved, but still have such a long way I could go.

The Original (2008): [link]

The One-Year (2009): [link]

I'm tempted to line them all up in a single image just to see the progression easier. I think I might...it'd be a scrap, but an interesting one.

By the by, an early "Happy Turkey Day" to everyone!
