Hm... I don't really change my ocs designs... the only exception being Vampire Prince, which had it's first version I was drawing in middle school to high school and then I rebooted it here on tapas 3 and half years ago, with some concepts removed, some characters replaced with completely different ones, different plot... pretty much just some main characters and general setting have stayed the same over the years 'xD but some characters (that hadn't really made an appearance in the first version but I had them planned) came back to the new version but after a drastic makeover

I mean like there's pretty much nothing left of initial design drastic 'xD
Hm, now I feel like I should check at which point Tirau's eyes during day started being dark blue... xD
A lot of my characters outside of h+h are still cooking so I know there's likely more changes to come however my absolute favorite character glow-up are Sophie and especially Ava from Welcome to Harewood
like this was first instance of drawing them out back in 2019
then came back to em with an update around 2021
then their final designs here that i drew just last year
Like i definitely fought with Ava the most coz after a while I was like "I'm not doing a white girl with locs" plus it felt like my brain was still really stuck on Robin and Dai from JtN hence the fixation on the hairstyle back then so after I let em cook and tried again it felt like striking gold and I've loved how he looks ever since then. Ironically Sophie probably changed the least just better looking skin tone and hair that imo better reflected the whole werewolf gimmick she's got goin on. But yeah these two r my fave oc glow up~
the only thing now is figuring out how to draw his wings...
Im very sad cause after 10ish years and 5ish computers it looks like ive deleted or lost most of my "firts drafts" of oasis and even deleted the old one that used to exsist on another website. XD so i cant share the old pages of my highschool years or the crappy character sheet refs of my collage years but ive been working on it for about 5 years now so figure thats good enough to show off dimitris "glow up" as his hair style changes
Yall can judge if hes looking more or less scraggly XD
So these are my three main characters. I think they glowed up pretty good, lol. I started Nocturne 21 almost 20 years ago. I have NO idea why I decided to keep going with it, instead of just throwing it in the trash where it belonged. I was just having a lot of fun with it. I’d make new pages and pass it to my friends and they’d read it, leave fun comments and pass it a long and I just kept making more. At some point I was in college and I’d spent so much time on this story I was like “let’s try and make it actually good”. I’m really glad I stuck with it. I love being able to look back at my old shitty comics and see real progress, even if the originals are god awful, lol.
I'll be lazy and quote a previous post
Though I forgot to mention a 5th character, sort of; the girl in the top middle of the 'Silly Research Society' sketchdump with the green pants was called Myrrh, which is the same name as the purple-haired person in bitwam. They're basically completely different characters though apart from the name, so it doesn't count (Unlike Alana, Emma, Dolly and Seth who actually did evolve from their SRS counterparts :P)
Vie over the years has had a few looks! Lemme grab a few of them.
Here's her first appearance.
I was still trying to figure her out.
My art was going through it's ugly highschool phase
Here's where I started to really find my footing with Vie.
And this is where she is now! She's come along way since she first showed up.
The project changed drastically over the years but Evan was present in all versions
either as protagonist or deuteragonist
It started as a game idea but switched to making a comic series abt 2 years ago.
His abilities evolved too
Version 1 - late 90' -early 2000's he was a boy who turned people he touched into zombies
Then some time after he had superhuman saliva
Current version:
the main cast represent states of matter and Evan represents Solids (via calcifying his saliva into melee weapons)
His zombie touch got replaced, instead the main cast are carriers of a virus that instantly turns others into monsters .
drew this about 12-15 years ago- The big Guy (Mr. Patchez) was the MC and Evan was more of a mischievous sidekick.
The story here was much different
Mr. Patchez was the devil's son and immune to Evan's unusual 'zombie touch' ability. The genre was more Gay Dark Fantasy. Mr. Patchez was hunting a fellow demon and part of his mission required him to monitor the mischievous Evan.
This above was done about 6-8 years ago, originally the comic was going to look like this too. Evan became the MC instead and Mr. Patchez took a more legendary character role.
Current . Decided to go 3d for the game and horror aesthetic. Evan now has a little brother Owen and both are the MCs.
