I like this idea here of showing your older art and doing it in a new way. It does show how you've grown as an artist and how far you've come. I love the details in each and the coloring. I find the new art should have had the same background, but for the newer piece you went with a circle. Is that to say you've come full-circle? I think you should have given a shot at the same background as the last one in a new way, but perhaps it did not fit in with your new more improved style. I love pokemon and I love this so good job and keep it up. Maybe many years down the line you can add a third piece to see how much more you've improved over the years. Sofar I like what I have come across, this type of style does great at times and other times its just so-so but again I like what I have seen here today.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Maybe do the same background as the original art to really compare your skills but it is just as good as is.

Haw! Ok, now that's funny. Nice improvement as well. :)
