Wow! These two look great! Looking at Julien's whole sprite evolution on Patreon he's really gone through a lot and this one I'm definitely digging the most. I must say I'm still attached to Aura's older sprite but I can see the artistic improvement.

I see their dynamic as Julien thinking Noah had everything handed to him on a silver plate while not doing much or not working for it, while Julien is working for his position and recognition very hard while not even being an alpha. Probably made him think how unfair it can be.

Can't wait for more content~

Thank you so much! I'm working really hard on improving the visuals. Back in 2017 when the idea of Mannequin Academy was born I couldn't draw at all, so the sketches back then were my first attempt at it. They looked pretty horrible, but good enough for someone who was a total newbie xD I still have a long way to go, but I like how my overall skill improves, so satisfying!

In my opinion, new Aura looked way cuter in the sketch, but once I colored him, I didn't really remember to keep those cute features by making his eyes larger with coloring and so on. He ended up looking like a sultry heart breaker instead of a young innocent boy, but in the end, I quite like the more mature look as well xD (it matches some of the CGs to come, I think!)

Man big ass mood. When I look back at my old art.... I get the shivers sometimes lolol but then I feel proud! And you should be too.

And this is 100% what I was thinking when I saw the new sprite. I still love him of course ~

Right! I remember a point in my life when I thought that I'll never be able to draw a character I could consider pretty. >>

I edited Aura a bit, he will have slightly more 'open' eyes in the newest update :D;
