Her powers are love-based for a reason 
Besides, she's the ORIGINAL Pretty Soldier, codename Sailor V. Sailor Moon came later. |

Um... Er... *ahem*
Yeah, the old version is... not all that great. But, the new, incomplete version is typical Taryn goodness. |

Lens flare only sucks because it is too frequently misused and when misused... it looks cheap and tacky. Like the original picture there. 
It's become a great Photoshop cliche... good ole lens flare. 
I still love lens flare, I just very very seldom use it. |

And yeah, I really can't see that you did draw that picture. Ever, you have gone a long way through. 
Heh, and don't worry. Most newbies with Photoshop usually play around with the lens flare filter. Ok I didn't, but that's becuse everyone kept telling me how much it sucked. 
Apart from the obvious need of colours, I really have nothing to complain about the newer picture. So yeah, it's yet another masterpiece.  |

Yes, BUT IT'S SAILOR V!~~
So, it doesn't really matter that much.  |

Yeah, it's Sailor V(enus)... although I didn't do it on purpose, really ;
Just I had few anime influences back then. Sailor Moon, um, Evangelion and Sailor Moon. |

Riiiight...
Actually, now that I think about it, it reminds me of Minako in too many ways. |

*Kawahless the Forgettable looks at the sketch and makes a gesture that could mean "top notch", but is too damn obscure to be certain of. |

You know I don't have that great a layout myself but I know it's not bad.
Compare the stuff I do now to what I did three years ago. Ai yi yi...no me gusta.
So yea...I can definitely see the difference and improvement. But isn't better that you're actually -looking- over some of your old stuff to get a better idea of how you've improved? I do that sometimes with some of the stuff I do, be it whatever. |

Hmm. You were a beginner back then, right? Because you can improve that pic a lot.
The head on the colored pic is too flat and too wide. The eyes are the same. The throat is a bit tool long. That |

It was drawn sometime probably 1999!! I remember that I was reading a book about drawing female manga characters and trying to learn from it. This is the first pic I ever colored on my PC too.
I haven't done a FULL updated version of it, but I've just been re-doodling the outline here now whilst waiting to go home from work.
I seem to have more waist evilness in the first pic. Why, oh WHY did I seem to think that women's waists came in like the middle of hourglasses!?! 
WHY DID I THINK THAT LENSFLARE AND CLOUDS WERE A GOOD BACKGROUND!!!
AIIIEEEE! DIE DIE DIE
