🔪: It's been like years since I've been to a carnival.

🦊: Oh?

🔪: Yeah! I think this is the best one I've been to!

🦊: Oh, you flatter me, dear guest!

🔪: Yeah, well, the last one I went to a kid died in front of me. So...

🦊:

🦊: What?

🔪: Oh yeah, the ride was in poor condition and one of the arms snapped in half. Launched a group through the air.

🔪: Luckily, the one kid died on impact because he landed on his head.

🔪: Most everyone else involved died in the hospital though...

🦊:

🔪: But this place seems really fun!

OLD ART REDRAW

Before (2014):

After (2025):

I decided to redraw a page from my old webcomic, FunLand, to test my skills a little and see what a FunLand reboot would really look like. This was a fun challenge; detailed breakdown of the changes I made below.

My notes in no particular order:

I kept the page composition mostly the same to try to maintain the "redraw" of it all. However, I changed the direction Ki and Liberty are walking in the top 4 panels so that they follow the way you'd read.

I also added shadows to help indicate the time of day. Back then I loved drawing skies, but I think the shadows help a lot.

I also made Ki and Liberty's silhouettes bigger and easier to parse. Less scribbly, too. I tried to telegraph their actions a bit more clearly too (Libby runs out of steam after a few hours because she isn't used to walking all day like Ki)

You might have noticed my "shape language" is overall much rounder. Art style evolves a lot over 11 years!

Speaking of art evolution, I decided to make Liberty noticably taller and Ki noticably chunkier. I want them to have more differing body types. I also gave Liberty full lips, which I hadn't done in the original for "style reasons."

I also chose more saturated colors for this page. I understand why I had muted tones before, but I like the way this looks more and find it easier to "read."

I pulled closer to Liberty's face in panel 7 to give her more of a reaction shot, and added a little extra detail to support it.

I added more signs of wear and tear for the FunLand gates, partially because Gorn and partially because I wanted it to be more obvious that it's not abandoned, it's actively an evil place.

I added more emphasis on shadows in general to try to give more dimension and a sense of scale. However, I made Ki and Liberty bigger in comparison to the gates, partially because I think I didn't know what I was doing before.

I still didn't draw whatever they carried the food in. They could be carrying food in their pockets, I don't know.

I kept Pleiades (the little animal) in for the redraw but if I were to reboot FunLand, I'd probably cut him out. He serves no purpose and sucks to draw. Plus he's a Momo expy.

Thanks for reading!
