History/Evolution of my Wimpy-Kid-inspired character design versions. 😊


Here is the evolution of my OC design, inspired by Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I was a huge fan as a kid and wanted to draw like Greg Heffley. I got myself a blank Diary from Walmart and that is when my drawing skills started to slowly improve. So, here we go!


Timeline:


Version 1 - 2013:

The generation where it started it all! Well, started off weird, though.


Version 2 - 2014:

The 3 pieces of hair were moved to the side of the head instead of at the very top.


Version 2.5 - 2014:

The eyes are slowly turning into a line instead of a boring dot.


Version 3 (Alpha) - 2015 - 2017:

The head and nose look less fat and the eyes are now a long line. But in the comic, it looks fat again.


Version 3 - 2018:

The design is now skinnier and more smoother.


Version 4 - 2019:

The design still kind of remains the same as before but the head is slightly more smoother and the "Minis" version was invented.

Version 5 - 2020:

The hair is slightly longer and a little more consistent head and eyes design, plus, the nose is now a triangle-point along with the head. What I mean is that the head looks a little like the G letter.


Version 6 - 2020:

The chin is becoming visible and the shoes are more shorter and sharper.


Version 7 - 2020:

Shadows/shading is a MAJOR update to the design! Slightly more 3D-looking (Not really though ), longer hair, and more consistent design.


Version 8 - 2021 - Present (Now):

This is the last version, which is the current version today. More consistent shading and design, again , the head is now more shorter, and sharper, and the design is MUCH more smoother!


Man, it's really awesome how I started off as a rip-off into a spin-off! After looking back at these, this definitely made my artwork skills improve over time, both physically and digitally. Yet, I'm still drawing these OCs today. These are honestly good memories of mine, and I decided to share them with you guys! 😊

Well, stay safe and keep drawing your imaginations out! ✌️

Office Gummies. I would eat them if they exists.

(Not my image btw. I grabbed it from their Instagram page.)

Another Genshin Impact collab.

What a wonderful night to end off of, huh?

I got myself a new PC since the battery on my Victus laptop has aged, so it's not good for portability anymore.

This new one I got is an ASUS ROG Flow Z13.

It's by far, my 4th owned PC throughout my life.

New idle animation for Sarah. I’m sure some of you would recognize this.

I spent a whole 5 hours on it.

And this idea was suggested by @DragonAero .

The Amazing World Of Gumball moment. This was fun to draw, unless I remember incorrectly. What does that even mean..

"Rawr " "XD "

Oh no, I’m already starting out to learn Kanji.

Impressive game quality for an AMD Radeon graphics card on my Z13. Fans do blast a little, but it handles pretty well, even at 60 FPS.

Only downside? Extreme battery draining. That's it.

I can't believe it's this hard to make a frown or at least a neutral face rather than a smile.

Nobody is probably going to take me seriously if I use a smiling avatar, lol.
