Tora's new wallpaper 💦('Before' artwork is at the bottom)

I spent a long time on this Poppy jumping scene and made many different pose sketches. I wanted the jump to be subtly graceful and sexy, but also natural and not like a staged jump, which was really challenging in itself. I also find the 'before' shot to be crass and kinda sloppy, so I tried to make it a little more 'elegant' this time round. 

(Btw guys, just wanted to point out that I'm not putting myself down when I say these kinds of things - I'm just doing some critical thinking and self-critiquing, which is an important aspect for improving on my craft. So please don't feel that I'm being harsh on my artwork, or that I'm beating myself up. That is very counterproductive for an artist, and I rarely do that 😉)

(S/N: Forgot to mention this in my previous post, but I also think it's more believable and realistic for Tora to be attracted to a more womanly Poppy instead of a kiddy Poppy.)

Well done! Self critique is important for growth, it also tends to keep us humble. 😂

Notification, just when i thought of MPL 😍

Hkitty

I love all the changes you are making 💕 I loved the original but it feels like it’s going to be a whole new experience once you repost & I’m so excited!!!!!

SOPHIA A

Poppy is such a vixen!

Sabrina

I can't wait for the new MPL I am really excited to see it! Oh please be soon ! One of the things that I'm excited about is seeing the artwork you finally feel happy and confident and proud sharing with us! I really want a release date! 😭😭😭

Diana

I love this new girly Poppy! I bet Tora will definitely have a hard time controlling himself now 😂

Schkaka

She looks amazing! I would agree with you a guy like Tora probably would be more attracted to a more gentle feminine poppy, but I think it's her innocence and heart that snags his heart ultimately.💖💖

AlriRayne

I am all about this new take on Poppy ^.^ And I bet Tora is, too 😏 lol

Stephanie

Being able to look at old art and critique it properly without sounding condescending is hard. I’ll look at stuff I loved when I did it and look at it now I notice all the little stuff that bothers me and really dislike it. The updates are looking fantastic btw so excited to see it!

You continue to grow as an artist and it’s a wonderful progression we’re all so grateful to see😭I love this super feminine Poppy; she was already an amazing character even with her kinda being a lil kid-like, but Tora was still falling for her regardless. And now?? Oof, that man is going to struggle like hell now😍😂

Bethany Robinson-Banks

You never cease to amaze me @lilydusk! You work so hard and talk about so many aspects of the process like today critiquing your previous work. Stumbling across MP was one of the best things that happened to me last year.

Self criticism can be productive, but regardless you are moving on and up! I can't wait to see the full finished thing! But i shall patiently wait...so take your time...also gonna gush...OMG i love how you draw faces and your eye work is so on point! You do awesome action and motion poses and i love your sketch work alone, when you finish process it is magical! Your characters are human and entertaining in both personality and appearance! *frantics* you are awesome! *bows* whew, finished my art nerding, you nailing it!😄

Every time you post a new picture of Poppy I fall more and more in love with her. This womanly innocent version of her is perfect, and makes more sense in hindsight. ❤️

Noelle Hoffman

I am so excited for this revamp! Poppy looks sexy as hell and Tora is in for it I’m sure! Lol

Irene A

Everyone's comments are amazing and cover everything I wanted to say. So,... Ditto.

Janell Cash

I love this webtoon so much. I get so excited when you post stuff.

Penstemmon

Why’s she so scared? Don’t worry girl, you’re totally gonna disarm that guy. 🥰

Alchemy Alice

I love how dynamic the original pose was but I also love the artistry and and character growth of the new panel.

Victoria Dias

Hey Lily! Love your work and how things are going next level this time! Still think that her mouth being a bit more open and more expression fits the scene, it doesn’t look like she’s jumping much to get something that’s flying (like papers). We all look a bit up and open our mouths simply because we are looking up, I think it’s more humane, idk. She can look more elegant and with expression at the same time, I think the mouth is the key, tho (I’m very detail-oriented, sorry)

Ashleigh Horowitz

I agree Tora would like a more feminine Poppy. I hope you still keep her playful personality though. Keep her grounded in some way without making her a stereotype. I image her being slightly like me the way you’ve described how you want her to be, except she acts a bit more mature most the time than childish. I’m like that, but more a “girly girl” who’s a needy dork according to my boyfriend. I can see how a feminine aurora would work more for Poppy though. 🙂

Love the new womanly Poppy ❤️

Ez-Cheez

Honestly I love them both! But I agree that a more womanly yet gentle Poppy is a great direction! That being said, I hope we can still keep the “de-erector” outfit! Hahaha

Eva

The hype for the return of mpl is so real 😆😆😆

OopsyDaisy0903

Amazing improvement! Can't wait for MPL 2.0 to get to webtoon 😆

Lluvia

I need to read these now I can’t take it 😭😭😭😭 she is teasing us I wanna readddddd

Kate

As long as he still calls her puppy and Bobby! 😂😂😂

Eleora Mathes

I’m still feeling the before panel. I like the new one to though. Hmmm

PBz

The hype is real!!! I love both scenes tbh 🥰 but I love how you explained your process it is amazing to watch and read thank you! Please keep being awesome!

I actually miss the silliness of both characters at the beginning—the exaggerated emotions. It added to the character development. Our girl is clumsy, impulsive, and childish. Then I saw her character subtly progressing with more subtle features as she spends more time with Tora.
