Show me your first ever draft of your characters or comic

D'aww. Xisea still looks adorable. Trickster and Sagittarius however are crazily different.
Cyrus still looks cool.

Milo, from my comic Morsel.

This was August of last year.

Below is more recent. I guess he didn't change much design-wise? lol

[bmacbride]

You've improved like crazy!!

Two of the earliest sketches of the protagonist from Lemongrass. I don't have the actual first drawing of him with me currently, but it's pretty similar to the first image (it was in pencil, drawn on a ferry to the Channel Islands, I believe). These are from when I was trying to get his character design sorted out in the planning stages of the comic. I'm not sure he really looks like that now, or even on the early pages.

This is his current look for comparison:

My first sketch of the siblings of Paradigm Shift Inc. They didn't change too much . Kylith on the left probably got a little more youthful looking.

[Strontium]

You've improved like crazy!!

Thank you so much!!!

[elixiadragmire]

cats cats cats! Love it!!! XD

[Dranif]

John the Parakeet from Legend of John the Parakeet didn't change all that much.
(On top: Old. On bottom: Current.)

Quacklerthos, however, in her humanoid state, looked something like this:

Not nearly as approachable as her current design.

Old idea page

First time drawing original OC.

Now

[ArtistHan]

First complete sketches I did of all the main characters together. Needless to say, they have all gone through some major changes lol though the general designs are still intact.

[RiverKai]

UH... dies a little this is literally the first sketch I ever did of Arielle...

WHO EVEN USES GRAPH PAPER TO DRAW A CHARACTER DESIGN ;(

@bmacbride Your commentary made me laugh out loud SO hard

[fanyart]

I probably don't have my first sketches anymore but I found a picture that stood at the beginning of a comic I have been unpublicly working on. It's from when I was in highschool and was wondering what to do with my comic that seemed to be leading nowhere and decided to focus on these two characters. Now that I look at it, they look totally different now!

Thanks for this topic, it was fun looking through the few old folders I still have on my computer... so nostalgic!

North was previously taller by a 10cm. now he's 145cm hh. He underwent a lot of changes?? First it was the abilities, then it was the clothes and then his NAME. Also the first story was so incredibly different (and embarrassing but hey, we all grow)

the first style of HERO.SYN was pretty different - I for some reason didn't like full inks back then - and I hand wrote EVERYTHING, it was ridiculous.

Draft? Ain't nobody got time for that.

[Axendre]

Hi guys !

It took me a long way to create my Comic... about 10 years ! And it's not already finished.
However, these are the 2 first drawings for characters and landscapes.
I've kept this artistic direction for long

See you on http://tapastic.com/series/EDEN---La-seconde-aube

[Freith]

My first draft actually didn't start on paper or computer ^^

These fluffies have come quite a way, looking back now ><

[guilleum2]

Are you ready for this masterpiece?
Comin' at ya from 2008 there's THIS:

[Sketchu]

Searched for one of my first drawings of this character 'Collector' gee.

[NickRowler]

So my comic is based off of something I wrote back in 2005, so my first drafts are about 10 years old.

This is the first picture (I believe) of my main character. (He looks like a Kakashi knock-off). The woman with him is his sister Raven.

Here is an example of two pages

This is Ch01 Pg07

This is Ch01 Pg08

It is a bit of a challenge trying to change my scribbles into something presentable. Though the funny thing it, I have about 200 of these pages.

I know this is an old thread from last year but hey, here's mine.
