OKAY TAKE TWO cos tumblr didnt SAVE MY POST and i had to start all my text from scratch OTL
It just occurred to me that I should have done the improvement meme for my very first troll EVER, so here’s a KITKAT !! The first piece here isn’t her first art per se, but it IS the first time I had drawn her as a fantroll !! I had made her when I was around 7 or 8 years old as Kitana Inuzuka and flipped to Kitana Okamii- as you can see, I really tried to fit that 6 x 6 naming rule MJNHSHBSG
She was icy blue with pyrokinesis psionics, but changed after much discouragement and criticism from the FTC over on deviantArt. Being 13 years old at the time it broke my heart, but I changed her again and again. From an arrow-horned royal blue, back to icy blue, and now the weird turquoise-y color she is now, and still fire themed !! Though now through more “sensible” means by FTC standards, plainly a pyromaniac.
Of all my charactars, Kit here has gone through the most changes, and still is !! I’ve gone through many rewrites and reorkings, redesigns and all for Kitana from when i was 8 to now at 21 and I’ve enjoyed every new iteration of her along the way. She just gets better n better yknow? Her story gradually slots into place in a way I’m more proud of and enjoy writing, and I’ve yet to show all o yall her NEW reworkings later on, cos baby girl is COMIN BACK. On god she gonna be back.
My fave about showing off Kitana’s growth more than anything is how all o yall get to see how I progressed as a traditional AND digital artist! Where I picked up my first markers, to my first copics at the start of the 2nd row, to my learning how to use a tablet at the start of 2017 and so on and so forth. It’s been a great ride
