Certainly a significant improvement over the last eight years. I have to echo akiro’s sentiment, however, in that the hand seems a bit too large for the perspective, and the fingers are quite plump and juicy (ready to be picked and pickled). It would’ve been nice to see more of the ambient glow of the fire and sword across Tahu’s body in the areas closest to it, much like the artwork of Sabretooth’s you cited.
Still, the glowup is mad impressive. Keep it up!
