Welcome back to my series where I look at my making over time. Hopefully they have improved. For an explanation of the series you can check out part 1, but the tldr is I used to make daily mazes and now make weekly mazes allowing me to spend more time on each maze.
Here are the first 4 parts in the series:
Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 1
Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 2
Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 3
Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 4
Let’s compare 5 more mazes and see how much better the newest mazes are 5 years later.
Part 5 - Even More Animal Mazes
Kitten Maze
The initial maze is from July 2019. The new maze is from 2025 and is comic book style with free drawn pathways. The 2019 maze is embarrassing for me to look at and was removed from the website for good reason (it used to be in the Animal Maze section). 2025 is a great improvement. Both are of orange kittens.


Unicorn Maze
The initial unicorn maze was made in April 2019 and the illustration was made for kids. The 2025 is comic book style and a much better !


Flamingo Maze
June 2019 was the first flamingo maze. Honestly, compare to many of my mazes from then it isn’t so bad considering. And yes, it was actually a lawn flamingo. The flamingo from 2025 stands with confidence.


Sloth Maze
In October 2019 I made the original Sloth Maze which for kids. I really liked that maze at the time. Our sloth shows a bit of personality. But, 2025 is once again a better illustration !


Mushroom Maze
Hey, I thought this was all animals ? Here we have May 2020 vs 2025. The initial maze was constructed using a grid method and it is easy. My 2025 Mushroom maze is more “animated” and targets more of a Grateful Dead crowd.


See you again down the road when I remake (and hopefully improve) more mazes ! Happy Mazing !
