The Evolution of Serpicane

This is just a fun little thing. Serpicane has had the most changes to a sprite of all of my sprites; it was one of my first scratches and because of that is one of the first on the update cycle. I got sick of the first 96x96 sprite I made of it, so I redid it. This time I'm very happy with the result. This means that it will probably last me finishing this dex. There were a lot of things I was not happy with on the old one, especially how much dithering was on the fins. Dithering done right is a difficult thing, and I gradually find that less is more. My favorites are the middle one and naturally the far right one.
Now aren't we all glad I did not start on dA as a 12.9 year old or however I first was? The date on the first one is apparently April 11, 2007, so actually more like 11.5. Good God. That was almost 6 years ago. Unfortunately I have no idea of the dates on the other, except the most recent one which was, ah, today.

Enjoy my progression as a spriter!
