Back in December 2020, I made a painting that debuted a concept character of an alternate Anthony that was more on the emo and edgy side. Now that four years have past, and Mirror Anthony is evolving more as a concept character, I decided to do sort-of a remastering of what I made back in 2020, extending the overall concept of every character having a personalized, mirrored version of themselves.

I will soon make a video where I breakdown all of the glaring issues I made in the original painting and some of my ideas on how I recreated the painting, as well as providing a timelapse of the complete process of making the remastering. I just need to survive the last three weeks of the semester first.

5/13 Edit: Updated the Image to include shading on a few details
