Image from the internet showing an art challenge meant to compare the first time drawing a character v.s. the most recent drawing of the same character
First drawing of Simone, my aarakocra bard of eloquence, all the way in February 2024 😭
Simone is a sparrow-looking aarakocra, here she was wearing a red dress with a beige/golden-ish collar, and a brown hat with a jay feather attached . This is a fullbody drawing, she's looking to her left, smiling, and she has her right hand on her hat.
In the top left corner there's a small doodle of her wearing a white shirt with a dark gray vest instead of the red dress
Most recent drawing of Simone, done a couple days ago. She's wearing a light beige/white shirt, with a black shoulder cape over it, a belt of dwarvenkind, gray breeches, dark gray fingerless gloves, 2 magical rings, and dark brown "toe-less" boots (because she's a birdfolk). This is a fullbody illustration, where she's tense, knees slightly bent, she's clawing the air with her right hand, and her left hand is clenched in a fist, she has an angry facial expression with an open beak.
She's also in the middle of transforming to one of her disguises: a gray bird version of herself that goes by the name of Alexandria, so half her body shows these colors, while the other half has her original color palette.
Now, the outfit is different because this happens later on in the story, but she also got some design retcons, such as her legs resembling bird feet more strongly, a more defined wing pattern, having a feather tail (idk the anatomical name lol), and having the crest / fringe on her head. Abd she's a bit more fluffy
First time drawing a character v.s. Most recent drawing of the same character
This is insane, I still can't believe the first time I drew her was over 2 years ago 😭😭
