Old illustration (above) that was a redraw of an even older illustration (below). I attempted to redraw this a third time last year but I wasn't feeling it. Maybe someday

It's so interesting to see the style differences between the two! Some of the changes are really delicate but effective. How far apart in time were they, if you don't mind me asking? 
roughly two years, maybe closer to 18 months. the top one is from 2020 and the bottom one was from 2018. The end of 2018 was a time when my art style had only just started to sort of cement. I made a lot of improvement that year, and at the same time my was changing drastically, to a degree that still kind of makes me go "Wait, huh?" when I look at the 2018 folder
For example, here are two more drawings of Vae from 2018, drawn about 8 months apart. The left is from january, the right is from september, and both were before the above drawing.

I actually wrote a way-too-long post talking about this at some point but the tl;dr of it is I started playing Fire Emblem games and it permanently changed the way I draw stuff even though I don't even really like those games that much lol
