Original Characters

Over the years original characters tend to evolve and change as you get better at drawing, or just think "this looks better", and I thought it would be kind of cool to smoosh a bunch of pictures of a single character into a hard-to-distinguish mess to see just how much they've changed. Does anyone else have any characters they've created that have made some major changes over the course of their lives that you want to share? I'll go first! This is Mena, a main character in a story I created almost exactly 4 years ago (happy 4th birthday!) The pictures aren't in any particular order though... https://s6.postimg.org/49i7bac5t/Evolution_of_Mena.png Also, here's a couple panels taken from pages 14, 21, and 24, of a comic draft of the same story to show a more recent design of the character: https://s6.postimg.org/dvbrrl3bl/Mena_Comic.png

This is my favourite original character, a tomboy; I don't have a name for her, but in a story I made once I named her Canaan. She's very boyish and tough. Some time after I created her I began to have dreams with her, and I even saw a woman who looked exactly like that, this made me change some of her traits, mainly the hair. I think I began drawing her in 2012. The timeline of these drawings is from 2012 to 2015, from upper right to left. http://a.nime.me/0088/1978/img_20170316_0003.jpg

This is a page of a short story I created in 2013 just for fun which featured this character, but I never finished it. (left to right >>) http://a.nime.me/0088/1984/img_20170316_0004.jpg Her personality was loosely based on Fujimura Taiga's in this one...

Thanks for sharing, Wagen. I really like the level of emotion expressed, and the chibi-like image at the center of the first one is super cute.

I have a lot of OCs but I think I drew this one the most. I was working on a Spider-Man fanfic and decided to draw one of the OCs. She is one of my favorites and I dream of her sometimes.

This is Adeline and Alastar, two characters from my novel/unfinished comic book. Here's their evolution over the years:

I very first started drawing/writing about them back in 2009, but my oldest drawings are lost. They got burned in a fire pit by accident... T-T
