I really, really want to say I like the new version better, but truth be told, I love the way you used to draw. I remember that was when I really used to look at all your pictures, and then your style began to change and I suddenly stopped. Yes, there is improvement--you understand proportions more, I'm sure--but that doesn't mean the old one was bad. It wasn't really "right" necessarily, no noses I don't think, small legs, thin bodies, but I liked it. : ) I'm not saying the new one is bad, I'm just saying I like them both.
Good job
Congratulations, you came a long way. : )
