This one in particular went to 5 revision over the years, the earliest concept was over 4 years old.

The idea is already quite old, and the fact that I'm using her as a major part of the story I unfold
makes it that so that first impressions should be vital.

This one here...

is the second concept and it's over 3 years old.
It's the same character, but makes you think
about so much of character improvement.

My oldest one is a traditional doodle that dated all the way back to my high school years.
and that one was the oddly cute but terrifying rendition. I lost that drawing to a small
flood that happened in my room when a pipe broke down, RIP Oddly, Cute, and Terrifying
Aria Lionmane, you will be remembered in a unique way.

In addition, she was always depicted as a Tsundere but over the years I just gave her a
knightly and noble attitude. Eventually I gave her more clothes to match such a personality
until the version I'm working on that she's already rocking a trench coat. She still retains
most of her Armored spots, In these final renditions I made sure to write down details
of what makes Theavencian armor different from their Verthellite counterparts.

*leSigh*

I am thinking too much about these. I just wanted them to be good. But over the years
as you get to know more, the more you criticize your work and the more you strive to 
improve it. The part that made me sad is that so much thought has been put into each
one that I am either drawing the line of the character of who they once were, to the ones
whom they are now. An Idea stands, but to replace so much of it that it starts to become 
a new one. Sure it will always be better, but I really do hope the one I'm currently doing
is the final rendition. I've got sketches and tons of pointers for these guys. notes hidden
in layers to point out important information, sketch pads filled with improvements and
even more notes pertaining to improving a character. Definitions and pose sketches, 
lore writing and power creation, shapes and silhouettes to distinguish one from the 
other without line and color. All of these goes to creating one character, and even for a 
revision which can just take concepts of old one still needed a fresh start on a few things.

It's time consuming, but I realize now writing this that, that in itself isn't enough for me
to stop drawing these guys, I've spent years with them so much that I can take their 
personality and pretend to be them while I'm drawing, A dragonic demon prince with a 
noble attitude, or an angelic knight with an ego. A celestial of war who doesn't like starting
one, to a thousand year old spirit gate keeper. In these hardships I will carry it along
for the day I draw them in light is the day that I really say "Damn, that was totally worth it"

Anyway, I apologize for you hearing me ramble about it, but I should also thank you.
Drawing these is usually a drag, but I realized while revising them that I had fun as well.
My mind is maturing from those ecchi tagged big oppai mindset when I first had it.
Makes me look how much of them has matured as well. Looking back now, wow, I was really
pervy to some of their designs. showing a lot of skin. Anyway, back to my station, have a great
day mate. Here, a digital cookie.

that was fun to read to be honest

you put so much effort into character designing, even trying to becoming one yourselves. the latter part i get, but the former.. i haven't done that in a while~ XD

(for my oh so lacking original character designing attempt/ procrastination! ^-^; )

and looking at your statement, i feel you have gone a long way indeed XD

i wonder what will we say to ourselves if we met them and discussing designs , it'll probably be a hilarious/ heated engagement XD

and hey, revising things over and over like you did can be hauled with a " alternate designs" actually. 

said it's a different time, different place, or different objectives for the character and you can have more than one designs. example such as an aftermath of grueling battle , her clothes got ripped then another was set to replace it. the classic XD

or you can just change it when there's a mission to a different timeline/space , and there's a need to disguise over there~ and you know what's next XD

don't be afraid of replacing the designs. they always changes in time, and so they must be used within the time they are fitted with 'em

and people always enjoy costume changes, just not to a drastic way XDD

as long as there's an original, there will always be a revision, addition and improvements~ so don't be afraid of changes there! XD

good luck with the struggle tho! XD


teenagers age, we always are. the first and foremost thing to draw is the breast. aah~ the time of lustful children XD

as we age, we begin to see that breast is not the only thing in the whole drawing~ XD

and yay! cookies! now i just need a digital milk to drink ! XD

have a good day/night over there too, mate

You have my thanks friend.

I'll just keep going where I'm going,
And in time I'll finish what I'm doing.
The past shouldn't bother me,
I move to the future I wish to be.

I will use what I learned as experience
A drive of failure which provides a difference.
Of any sketch, of any line,
for it to be proudly mine.

So this should conclude my statement,
For it to work I will be rather patient.
To think I'd end with something akin to poetry,
in any case I've got to go, i'm in a bit of a hurry

alas, i can't poem like you did
except back when i was a kid

the road to mastery is a long one
it will be a challenge to anyone
but worry not young one
as challenge always begone
in the face of the diligent one

keep going in the path you believed
in the end, it will be your deed

last word is succeed
good luck, and go for it.



man, i really need to re-learn my grammar, i can't think of any vocabularyl other than one over there XD

I've been dropping rhymes for a long time 
actually, backstory wise I was often chosen
for poem writing on various occasion during
my high school period. Couldn't say I enjoy 
doing that, as I was more known for drawing
waifus back then. But I do remember a time 
of cringe when I draw waifus and write a poem
beside it. Thank god I never saw those again.

Oh dear gods, I'm starting to remember my
past chuuni *crawls to a corner and proceeds
to cri*

That said, an idea takes shape after experience grabs a hold of it.

The one I'm doing that is currently in works, is the final rendition and along with over 48 characters
should run along a consistent style. And I won't be done anytime soon
