Redraw of a blue elf

A long time ago, in 2004, I've discovered photoshop. I was a teenager, and I loved doing heroic fantasy stuff. It was my very first drawing did on something else than "paint"! I didn't have a graphic tablet, and I was rather proud of this portrait (😣). When I rediscovered this recently, I wanted to make a new one!
Wow, I realise that there are 17 years between the two versions, it's half of my life 👨‍🦳!
Never give up my friend. Making drawings is a hard thing: no pain no gain 💪.
