Rebesker dump: Art I've left behind

I really struggled with what to title this post. I don't want to say "art I'm no longer proud of," even though that's kind of true. I don't want it to be true. I worked very hard on these pieces, and at the time, I liked them a lot.

Now I draw better than this. I mean, that applies to any piece I've finished in the past, whether years ago or five minutes ago. I'm always a better artist after it's done. That's how art works!

But I feel like I improved so substantially that these are kind of hard to look at for me. I don't want to be like that, though! I want to look back on my growth with nothing but pride instead of embarrassment for not being as good back then as I am now.

Well, if you can still crank it to these, let me know, okay? It might help, LOL.

There's obviously no future with him. Besides the fact that their trysts are an H.R. nightmare because he's her boss, he's 20 years her senior and, more importantly, he's an asshole. He's snobby, rough with detainees for no reason, and cruel. She doesn't like him at all.

But he's also brave, hard-working, and so intelligent. When he pays attention to her, when he tells her that she's done good work and that she'll make an excellent scientist one day, her heart flutters.

Can you fall in love with someone you don't even like?
