2017 vs 2023 ☔️

When things are going great but you feel that something’s off 🌿 . Finally made an illustration :D I don’t care if it’s Quinn again lol. And look, it’s a bit animated :’D I wish my laptop could handle After Effects better. I would have been able to do more with this. :<

This drawing of Quinn is from 2018 and it's still one of my faves. 🧡 🩷 💛

Despite the warm colors, I was dealing with a lot of uncertainty as a fresh college graduate. "You won't survive the real world," referring to the corporate world, were words I often heard while studying.
