How has your MC changed from creation to now?

[Lucca_Vendramel]

Cozmata started out as a naive, bubbly kid, but the events of the first chapter made her mature and change her attitude towards things in life. I don't want for her to be as miserable as Shinji from EVA, but I do want her to mature in future episodes due to this. Can't say I don't miss her personality back then, but now there's no going back.
I also eliminated her newsboy cap as a way to show that things aren't gonna be the same for her.

my characters have changed a lot over the years!

Noel: Almost completely rewritten, with some of her backstory remaining the same. I originally wrote Noel as a character with a small role in the story - she was a lot more cold, often acted inconvenienced by Lillian, insulted people, hated herself, and was irresponsible. I genuinely didn't like where my writing was going. Noel's still pretty flawed, but has a much more positive outlook on life and isn't afraid to be soft. She slowly became my favourite character to write about. ;-;

Lillian: ANGST. She dreaded everything. She always assumed the worst. She also liked to fight with people??? Lillian's motivation and overall personality traits haven't changed too drastically over the years. It's just that, back in 2014, she used to only express one mood: angst. .__.;
oh, and she also had a twin sister who was the exact opposite of her! Almost forgot about that.

I made an unhelpful chart of their character designs:

[Kelheor]

Nope, not at all I just wing it, I suppose?
Now, except those guys from my comic, I have around 20 OCs for 3 other stories. Of course they change with time (90% of them are existing for 15 years after all!), but I would probably call it development in design and my abilities as artist, not change of character per se.

For example, I had a character in one novel, and later I made 2 characters based on her (I have as much originality as CLAMP, duh). Original look for each of those girls is pink hair, green eyes, tanned skin and clothes in black and blue palette. In the beginning I haven't really thought about colours much, since till 2015 I only used black pencil
Now we have 2 girls from two different worlds and different background, both have the same look, but different clothes: one wears blue kimono, another black and white school uniform.

So with the time, I gave a warrior girl in kimono more natural hue of light pink hair, made her a little bit more interesting colour palette to show her affiliation with clans, made her clothes more Japanese looking and just gave her more appropriate look for her background. The other, witch girl stayed with more violet hair and is still wearing black and white now with a bit of violet and is just having more witchy vibes.

Since they only were characters from novels (and not comic), these changes haven't really change anything in terms of description: one still wears blue kimono and the other just became more free in her school clothes choice - and it is also okay for plot, since most students become undisciplined in their clothes after a few month in school. So even if they were both in comics, they will have those changes gradually and more natural. Like, maybe the girl in kimono had her hair dyed and then the dye will wash off ^^

I like the fact that you started to change her physical appearance to reflect an inward change! I plan to do that with Marcus's unkept hair/ facial hair as the story progresses. Also maybe give him a new shirt or two.

Wow, I love how much growth is in this chart! Your art style is very cute! I also have a character named Lillian in TNS (actually her full name is Lillian-Able) and your older version of Noel reminds me of her. Lillian-Able acts a cold toward her twin sibling, and is somewhat hot headed.

I like their color palettes. I imagine they're the same person but in different timelines/universes considering their likenesses

My main character had a Bob cut lol a freaking bob cut now look at her! I can't! Why did I previously draw her with a bob cut XD

My character was originally a little nicer and more confident, but I didnt think it left enough room for character development, especially where she needs to be at the end if she already felt like a perfect girl. I threw in a disconnect with her dad, and my wife wanted her to have more of an attitude, and I added a vulnerable inner part to her. So now shes a cockly lil punk instead of a sweet child, also i dont know if any of my readers picked up, she has ADD.

My take on Stardust has lightened a little bit from when I started. He's less menacing, more lost and confused.

I LOVE your art style.The colors are well done. What's your coloring process?

[IM17MI]

Thank you so much ^ ^ I just do the flats then shadow it and the do some ambient light by painting with a color that better suits the time of the day and pick overlay.

Aside from the art style I tweak his personality a bit and nerfed his abilities from the first draft of the story
