Draw This Again Meme

I found an old drawing of a creature I made in late 2012 or early 2013 and decided to redraw it since I liked the design. Newer one made in October 2015. 

I felt like drawing it for Inktober. I did some experimental shading with some brush pens as well as an actual brush with ink (something I'm only just starting to do). I can definitely see where I wasn't sure how to proceed with some of the shading but I'm still proud of this none the less. 

I've come so far! No more boring side profiles for my creations!
