OC Age Charts

***Sorry about no post last week (if you even caught that)! I ment to on the normal time but something came up and then totally forgot to on friday when I was supposibly going to make up for it. So maybe I'll do another post about a spot light artist or something like that.***

Now this is a piece I did back in december of 2011 I believe when I was working on my independent study. I thought it would be really fun to play around with characters and how they progress with age. It was also a great chance to sit and actually think about their back ground as well.
So this is Pinky from ages six to twenty-one, some ages I found to be milestones in her life as I drew them. I tried to make them all start at the same point so the height could be actually measured but that didn't really happen. Each were individually cut out because I had planned to back them on something but never found anything suitable which made me very sad and my efforts never got a chance to be fully appreciated.

This is the little background I made up for her as I went along-

Age 6: Pinky was very bold and talkitive at this age and everybody knew who she was and was over all liked (except by Fusia, her childhood rival). This is pretty much the attitude she has through out most of her life; confident, happy, and very sociable.

Age 12: Ah. The ackward preteen years made worse by the fact this was the age Pinky moved to a new city and went to a new school. For this time period, I found me and Pinky had very simialr middle school exsperiences, we looked ackward and felt very ackward and hadn't really found out who we were or what we wanted to be as far as who we appeared. So she is very quiet at this time and also meets her best friend Red.

Age 16: The high school years were more kinder to Pinky then they have been for me as this was when she gets her mojo back and sorta regresses back to how she was in grade school as far as being confident and socialble. This is the age I draw her most in as well so it was very easy to come up with and the part of her I know best.

Age 21: Pinky is in colledge now and also has to wear glasses from time to time as her eyesight get progressivly worse. I'm not sure what she is majoring in. Possibly art or to become a lawyer or something like that. I felt like at this age she still kept that care free attitude but in a more professional way.

This was a extremely fun exercise and made me feel even closer to a character I have had for years but never really knew until now. It was also fun trying to come up with outfits that I thought would be fitting for them in that certin period. The hardest part was trying to make them all look similar but at the same time show signs of change and maturaty.
Sorry that this post is kinda bland. I'm running out of projects to post even though I've been working a lot. Next week I have either a painting or card board post planned for you all. We'll just see what happens! Thanks for reading!
