And the super bland coloring job without much of a color scheme, with watercolor applied without any depth or texture, and the weird clouds, and, - and here is where the title originated - the fuck are those trees???

The point of this isn't exactly to bash our old art for the sake of bashing it, but rather to laugh a bit and contemplate our improvement! And pat ourselves on the back a bit because no matter how many flaws we may see in our current art, we're past the stage where we made [insert embarassing piece here]! ;)
