i wish so badly i had access to my old art! i have approximately 700 pencil-on-copy-(or-notebook)-paper drawings of frodo from when i was in 6th grade. 😂
god it really was a different era... 😭 your improvement is so drastic looking at it like this, its funny to think of how you design characters in relation to og hikaru
Thank you!! I like to think of a lot of my "modern" character designs as "descendants" of her, in a way. 🥹
Like there's a "family tree" of character design tropes that go down different branches, but all connect back up to her
