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! ✌️

Pretty strange that some portions of the game have no voice acting to some extent.

I'm 90% sure other people skip a lot of dialogues because of how unfathomably HUGE this game is.

Opening Microsoft Word now has this new...banner...

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.

Really glad changes like this are rolling out.

I've noticed a pattern in my art. I will switch it up, just give me a sec to be obsessed first

This is a positive change to our society. Real human-made works should present as it always was.

did you know Goldie is hyperfixated around world war 2 ?

This is just embarrassing. Only 2 or maybe 3 brand new IPs by the 9th generation and then this.

Good thing I got my PS5 Pro over a year ago, and considering how careful I am with my devices, it can last years or even decades.

So, apparently, TM-Attraction: TGF is broken on Microsoft Edge. I haven't changed anything in the game, either.

Though, it still works on Opera GX, so just letting people know. Use different browsers if you're playing this.

through the valley

I just recently discovered MistWarp, which is a fork of TurboWarp that really has very good amount of additional options and customization.

UI changes is something I always wanted because I grew tired of Scratch's vanilla UI designs.

Also yeah, new scene.
