Happy New You! (Patreon)

A continuation from the last sequence, the first drawing I've ever done on my new computer, and what looks to be the final drawing of the year/decade from me, as tomorrow I will be traveling for new years and won't have the ability to draw for several days.

It feels somewhat bittersweet, but as someone once said, just because you use a base 10 counting system doesn't mean you need to feel sentimental when it suddenly adds up to a big round number.

Things are going to take a bit to get used to. My computer is capable of 1920x1080 resolution but for this I actually turned it down to the 1366 x 768 that I'm used to. Drawing at a larger resolution felt off. Although I did take the time to try out a new finishing technique when cleaning up my inks. It involves setting the layer to binary and then building up the anti-aliasing manually by adding subsequent layers with less opacity but I higher threshold. -- I worry this may have hurt the line quality. What do you think?

Edit: Added an alternate wip version without the hair, that honestly I like better
