Every now and then someone revamps a character. Some revamp the character every year with new information and looks(Like skysealer). Others just renew the character after they look at the old one and feel like this look isn't right anymore. And you have one other group who switch looks so fast, testing and practicing with color and whatnot.
Did you characters ever evolve?
My Characters:
Appearence
My most commonly used Chacaracter has three known forms. This character is also my fursona, dragonsona and ponysona. Yuki's first appearence was in 2009. 2009 was my beginning year of digital art. Where I used MS Paint and then learned about Photoshop Elements(2.0).
Her first look was a bust of a charcoal-black colors cat with blue eyes. The inner flesh was normal. At this time, I was obsessed with the Warrior Cats series and ended up with a black cat and blue eyes for my OC(the other version was a siamese named Rainfire).
After a while, I watched Allikatnya, Darkokiri and Sitavara's videos. I saw how colorful their fursonas were. I wanted to make my character better in a way. That's when I sstarted to add blue markings. I didn't want it to look too much like Darkokiri's fursona. Her fursona is also a dark grey cat with blue markings. So I added markings on the limbs and torso as well. The base color changed from Charcoal-black to midnight-navy. It was so terrible. :'D
Some more time passed and I learned about neondragon. I found an online copy of her linearts and created my first dragonsona concept. Today, the only thing I like is the mane and tail.
And then I became obsessed with Neko-jin(cat people). Yuki's first Neko concept was a girl with blue hair and black cat ears. She had blue, pupiless eyes. And then I came across an image of a manga cover with a blue haired, blue eyes neko. This neko had the ears and tail of a siberian(white) tiger. Honestly? I thought it was purrfect. That has been her appearence for a while until I finally drew her as a neko. They only difference is that she has glowy marks everywhere on her body. Her attire is similar to Luka Megurine's.
Back to the cat: Some time passed and then I changed her markings. I'm very well aware that I can hardly draw the same being twice. Especially my characters sine they look so complex. So I made it to where her markings change constantly. Eventually I made the inner flesh blue(as well as her blood) and stuck to it. From inside the mouth, there's a glow from the back of the throat. Knowing that Yuki's a water magic user, I added fins. These are retractable and the dorsal now shows itself often. The other fins she has are on the limbs and tail(s). She has nine tails, I'm too lazy to draw them. She's always had glowy marks. c:
Back to the Dragon: I grew tired of the old design and revamped her, giving her feathered wings. Shortly after, I did another revamp. The first revamp was terrible in comparison, but I as proud of it for like two weeks... Anywho, the second revamp is cleaner and more official(Being on two deviations instead of one like last last version of this sona). It's on a ref sheet and some random image I made. Major changes to this sona were wings added*, marking change, and horn change**. The markings always change when I redraw characters, deal with it. c:
*Originally it was a pure Eastern Dragon. Now she's an eastern dragon with feathered wings. The first time, the wings were the same colors as the base body color. Now they are a deep blue.
**In the first version, it was a colored lineart. After the second revamp, two pairs of horns were added. A pair of straight horns that have two 'branches' coming out and a pair of ram horns that twiat away from the head.
I think my ponysona goes into second place with the most changes in looks. She went from a regular dark sky blue pegasus to a light blue, large-wings, long-legged, thick-furred pony. Her mark was originally a wave but I changed it into snowflakes. Her colors have changed quite a bit(faint and drastically).
Information
Cat: The cat version has had the most changes in anything compared to any other my characters. Her blood is now blue and toxic, releasing a poison that supposed to o one of two things: Freeze someone from the inside out by freezing blood starting at the core and then stretching to the tips of the limbs and head
OR turning someone to ice from he inside out. Her saliva turns into frost if touched by another solid thing(unless the saliva is in her own mouth). Her fur can change color under a certain angle of light, even leading to invisibility. The fur can also turn into spikes(think of wet fur but frozen like that) which also secrete the freeing poison. Her paws create little clouds of frost wherever she steps. If you shave the fur of(Not recommended), she'll be really pissed and extra oil used to make her fur 'waterproof' will layer over the skin and make her slippery like a fish. When she snaps or if it's the amnesia version, the light blue markings flash is shades of a brilliant scarlet color and at light blue constantly in an odd movement. At this momen, any contact with the character will either freeze the character at a faster pace than normal or burn the victim alive(Burns are a result of red in the markings).
Dragon: Hardly changes here, not much information for this version known. :c
Neko: Everyone knows her as the odd assassin. What I mean by odd is that she's actually really nice for someone who kills people for a living. but when she snaps or splits, there are two other 'types' of her. Shion is the nuetral piece, who doesn't care about anything really. Shion used to be the dark side. But recenetly, Midnyte was created to be Yuki's dark side instead of Shion. When they split, their hair color changes. Yuki's becomes a silvery-white. Shion's is a Silvery-Charcoal color(Dark charcoal in color but shines a silvery color in light). Midnyte's is a deep midnightblue to black color. When she hasn't 'split', but snaps, Yuki's eyes and hair color changes to odd shades of blue and scarlet. Like the cat version, depending on the angle of light, highlights will be red. Example: Yuki's iris is blue with 'highlight Particles' of ice bue. When she snaps the highlights in the eyes change to red.
Pony: Main changes are looks. But I'm considering making her one of the crystal ponies.
