Art/character evolution thread

[crumbsicle]

I've only been posting my comic Acquainted with Strangers for a few months so there's not much drastic improvement within the comic itself yet. But one of the story's main protagonists, Keenan, was developed from a REALLY old character design of mine.

This . . . became this. It's kinda funny to see the difference. Appearance aside, he's developed an entirely new personality, too. Sometimes I think he became self-aware and rewrote himself.

i love it when characters kind of grow on their own like this

Damn that's one hell of a change! Looks awesome!

I think I've improved a bit, though it's barely been a year since my comic started!!
these screenshots are from the start of Chapter 1:

and these are from the start of Chapter 2, which is where I am right now :>

To be fair, my pages still turn out worse than I want them to be sometimes, but I still think there's been an overall improvement!

I'm still in the writing process of my comic but here's how my characters Finn and Jonathan have changed over the past year!

The first time I ever drew Beau and Andreas together

to a fairly recent page

Because the story had mature themes, I started getting away from the cartoony look, to something less exaggerated.
here is Fink's first design, to something recent

2013

2017

Loving seeing these guys - keep 'em coming! Here's another before and after from me of my main trio (the third of which won't make an appearance in my comic for a long while!)

And as a bonus - my first ever drawing/concept of my MC in 2015 vs May 2017:

I just started this whole digital art drawing thing like 2.5 months ago, So here's one of my characters from the first time I drew him to a more recent time. I was surprised how much change there is in just about 2 months. Although I was figuring out my way around CSP

I started Low-Tier Jane a little over a year ago, and it's always fun to see how the art as evolved/improved over time! Jane herself slowly got shorter, her head bigger, and her eyes bigger.
Also, technically strip #96 hasn't actually uploaded yet, but whatever. Not a spoiler.
