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! ✌️

“Today’s internet icons”.

That’s like the last thing I say when I release something with no established audience.

Also, “Lunchlys”. That’s kind of a weird name for a group of adults who produces a large amount of corny YouTube content.

Going to try something new for myself.

Never played Halo before or any of its games, but I found this on the Game Pass section, and after playing it, it’s actually pretty good and kind of fun.

Just starting it out btw.

Not my favorite restaurant. 💀💀💀 Bro, why?

#Joltober 2024 has come to an end so we wanted to show off some of the art posted by your fellow Jolters.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's challenge!

(Check the article to links to the original posts so you can give 'em a like!)

I found these awesome concept art for Alien Soldier. A SEGA Genesis game that I loved after Gunstar Heroes. This is the kind of work I’ll be doing in the future for my career.

(Btw, these artworks are NOT mine, they were made by Treasure Co., Ltd. 1995)

Joltober is here! Today's prompt is Spider! Each day in October, you’ll get a new prompt and a new quest at 12 pm Eastern! Go to your quest log to find the quest! It'll expire tomorrow at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET.

I caught this oopsies moment where the girl with white and blue clothes gets hit by lightning during a dialogue cutscene and then zaps out of existence.

Forgot to post it here, but I have redesigned the majority of my Sonic sprite. Most gradients were removed, quills on his head, and refined eyes, ears, and his fingers are now visible on his darker-shaded gloves.
