revising old art

While going through my files, I found some old pictures that i still really like, but I fell like there are to many things wrong with the color and compostion. So I sat down again, an worked on them again, here are two examples:

old:



new:



And the other:

I dug out another file out of my archive of unfinished stuff. This was actually the first thing I tried out with illustrator, it turned out, this was way to ambitious for a first try. But I like how it turned out:

I'm always trying out new styles, some of these experiments work out, others dont, I'm pretty happy with these though.
This was inspired by a good friend of mine, which is indeed a bookworm with style. I used to do latin translations with her, which was always fun, because we were both eager to find the really truelly correct translations. She is actually a red head, this was inspired more by her character.
