2012 versus 2020: Part 2!!

This was a really old OC of mine I had when I was like 10-12 or so. I decided to give him a redesign! (Click images to see full versions)

His old name was "Super Random" because well... he was a cat who wanted to be a superhero, and I was in my "LOLRANDOM" phase. Obviously. He was meant to be around 12 years old when I first made him.

I'm not sure of a new name yet (feel free to suggest names!!), but I still like the idea of him trying to be a superhero. I redesigned him to be more of a catboy than just a plain cat.

I randomly heard a small part of a death cab for cutie song and suddenly I had like the most vivid moment of being 14 again and I remembered this old site I used to love called Sketchfu. That site was why I got into digital art! I miss it so much. I didn’t save anything from the site when it closed down.  I was like 18 when it finally closed and I was so...I don’t know, weird back then like I hated sentimentality, and I thought, good, I’m glad these crappy drawings will be gone and forgotten. I also used to delete everything I didn’t like of my art, so much of like, my journey as an artist is lost because of my asshole younger self...I don’t know, had issues.     I don’t know, I just feel nostalgic.  When I was younger I never really thought I would look back and regret not keeping my old art, or taking more photos with friends, or like, keeping a journal. 

I guess what I should learn from this is to keep things and make more memories now. God, if I’m this sentimental at 25 where will I be at like, 60?  Man, I just want to go back on sketchfu, and draw some damn invader Zim fan art, and listen to freakin Creature Feature, and then watch Soul Eater and dip french fries in chocolate.  I can’t even remember what my username was, and for some reason that breaks my heart.

It just occurred to me that most people nowadays don’t know what SketchFu was. Like, it was such a huge part of some many people’s lives, mine included, and now it’s just... a distant memory.

Someone else bought the rights to the domain or whatever the fuck it’s called. And I know I’m getting overly emotional about this, but that just feels so... wrong. Like, this shouldn’t be reality, y’know???
