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! ✌️

🎄 Merry Christmas, boys and girls. 🎄

Be sure to say the same to your family members, and especially in text messages.

(Art is not mine btw.)

The tech industry and the community is doomed.

If this keeps going, nobody is gonna afford anything.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Kind of rushed through this art (no AI this time!) and attempted a chibi style. It was hard. Took me around 3 hours to do it.

But 2025 has been quite significantly better for me than 2024.

Oh no…

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Freaking finally, they're cutting things down a little bit.

One standalone Copilot app is fine enough. That's it.

I finally bought Halo Infinite.

Except I didn’t actually bought it; I just redeemed 25K points for a gift card and use it to get this game. And they were kind enough to give this a 67% discount this Christmas.

So I technically got Halo for free.
