Five years ago to this day, I created Anthony, my first ever original character made as an art sona of myself. And while he has been my main man for all these years, he has never seen any significant changes in his looks over the past five years. In short, the OC I made back when I was in high school looks like he's been stuck in high school for the past five years. And knowing about the theory of time travel or some shit, time only moves forward.
Which is why I've come to announce that Anthony will be getting a significant redesign this year. Now that I have spent the last four years embracing my time in college, I figured it's time to let Anthony undergo his college arc. Sure, you might see some fashion pieces from the original fit, but the goal for me is to bring Anthony into a new era, all while embracing the past and accepting that he's eventually going to grow up as a young man.
Now, I would show you an image on what you might expect in the new redesign for this post, but I had to troubleshoot a few computers, attempt to learn Krita until my Clip Studio subscription gets resolved, and fulfill other important academic and personal obligations, meaning that I don't have the capacity at the moment to perform a stress crunch to finish it all on Anthony's "birthday". But it's in the works, along with the soon to be worked on new refs of Anthony and Mirror Anthony.
P.S. In regards to Anthony's design in SFNS, I don't expect to do much changes, as this will be one of his many looks in the upcoming redesign.
P.P.S. I'm still working on that ArtFight video and everything else that's in that backlog. I've been recently learning how to use DaVinci Resolve and I'll be editing with that and Kdenlive to try to bring order to the massive backlog of videos.
