Alex and Ares before (it was going to be a middle grade action adventure novel)

alex and ares now (boys love fantasy comic that gives me pain)

fantasy characters are so tricky to draw. fantasy is for artists who crave emotional suffering

Old vs new of my OC Crow (the bottom one is the old one, from like 10 years ago)

:sob: I must not get enough emotional suffering out of life itself so I have to inflict it on myself

Ignore the funky hair, I promise it’s him :sob:
Xivian’s humble beginnings in my language arts notebook

I seem to have a trend of coming up with characters then slowly morphing them into entirely different characters.

Lady Lock had some very humble beginnings design wise lol but lowkey I always adored her even in the really derpy mspaint style I had her in at first.

Very first drawing of her:

Vs the latest drawing of drew of her (ps: do not mind the scribbles ranting about the proportions I ended up fixing it​:sparkles: I just sort of rant in my sketchbooks as a trouble shooting method)

Wow you improved so much too! How much time has passed between the first rendition?? I love his grumpy face so much :sob: I’ve had some characters for years and years, but Lady Lock is quite recent only over a year I think.

Thank you <3 I think it’s around two years between the pics? Maybe closer to three…

Okay so I dont have that many pictures from or maybe even drawings from back when I first started coming up with my characters and story but this here is probably the oldest drawing of Scamp I've done, and its a high school doodle!!

And this is one is my most recent drawing of him! Part of a sheet explaining why Scamp looks buff at 10 lol

i've so gotta go back and find my earliest doodle of Alicia in my sketch books XD


Alise from ‎18. ‎August ‎2018.


And from newest episode ‎7. ‎August ‎2024

Those are from 2012, but I have them since... uh, around 2010? before that my novel was a fanfic. 2020 I started Saudade with the idea of them. Also, it was one of my first atempts in making digital art. :3 And it wasnt exactly my oldest drawing of them, but it was made on paper and it's probably in an old folder somewhere xD

And here we have the redraw I made last month! I wish I knew the context of the originals so I could make it better.


It's always so nice to redraw stuff, right? Seeing the progress is so good to keep going and dont give up! :3 Even the redraws still have some errors, but I believe it's ok for now.

I changed Nate's expression because my interpretation was something like Matt apologizing and Nate being like "yeah, its ok :3" idk hahaha

Carmen from Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days. Carmen is the angry one in this pic. This was drawn back in 1993. You will have to forgive the obvious ripoff of the Simpsons style:

Carmen from WNHCD drawn in 2022. Carmen is the tall one in the pic.

Daecon, from Defining Daecon, in the first drawing I had done of him:

And Daecon in the most recent drawing:

I can see your improvement! Alicia is gorgeous!

Here's Dex in his first appearance!

And in his recent one!

I'm not sure if I improved, but his demeanor definitely changed. Haha! :smile:

found the file for the first cover and decided to redraw the lineart on a whim!

From 2021 (?)

2024:

yeah I agree lol

tysm, i think so too lol, but I'm still trying to improve enough to do her full justice
