Rayek from memory (-ies)

Oh my... I remember vividly drawing the original while in 7th grade Social Studies class, trying to remember Rayek all grumpy with Cutter in Book 1.  Obviously I had not memorized his outfit / design well enough!  I was eleven or twelve, had discovered EQ maybe within 3 months of drawing this, and was positively devouring it like manna from comic book heaven.  I always say jokingly that Wendy taught me to draw, but really, I think she did...

For the re-make, I stuck with my original medium (mechanical pencil and HB lead) but could not *could not* use lined paper!  ;D  And yet again, since drawn from memory, I'm sure I got design elements wrong, but the point was to remake the original right?  Aside from the lined paper (and sitting on the bed instead of in class) I tried to do so... and such memories in the doing!

*stunned*

Y'know, I thought this would be a fun challenge, but I had no idea just how awesome the results could be.  I can't begin to explain the complex mix of emotions this brings up.

One thing I can safely say is...that is one hawt Rayek. ^_^
