Release the Flames 2017 ver.

 A redraw of the same piece I made in 2013 when blue exorcist first aired in honor of the second season being released four FREAKING years later.

Honestly I'm quite fond of Blue exorcist, it was the first anime i picked by myself to watch with no influences from others. It was also the first anime I watched while it was still airing within a series. Before watching Blue exorcist the only shows I had seem were sailor moon when I was a child and had no say, and Naruto when it was randomly on toonami and cartoon network.
Link to the first one: 

Improvement is a weird thing huh, granted 13 year old me also had no idea how to weight lines or shade and was following very closely to the reference. This piece took me probably 15+ hours and multiple tries the first time, 2017 version took one try and about 2 hours. Cool stuff huh

*ALSO SORRY FOR POOR PHOTO QUALITY! I'M IN A RUSH AS I PACK TO HEAD BACK TO UNI*
