Hello guys.
I've been quiet for a while now, but I hope most of you know that when I go quiet like this it usually means only one thing: I'm basking in the solitude of my AKA-cave working on something importnat. That was the case this time as well...
The problem I was wrestling with was Lola's appearance.
Version 00 above was drawn a while back and it never even made it to the inking stage. Version 01 however was approved and I felt completely satisfied with her design at first... Satisfied to the point where I went ahead with coloring it and even adding all the facial expressions... So, yeah, I was satisfied with version 01 right to the point when I wasn't anymore... Yes, several days ago I looked at her and thought to myself in horror: "What was I thinking? She absolutely does not fit the role!"... A rather depressing realization to come to, but whatcha you gonna do... That the creative process for ya...
I don't always struggle THAT much with character designs, but it does happen sometimes for me.. I remember REdrawing Hermione's head quite a few times for example... But at the end I'm glad I did take that extra time to make sure she looks just right. Yes, "just right", that how I feel about version 02 Of Lola's design... Let's hope I won't wake up tomorrow realizing that I hate it even more...
Well for the moment I like it well enough. And to acknowledge the struggle I had to go through with this incarnation of her, I decided to call her "L.O.L.A. Ver. 2.0". Pretty clever, right? ^_^ And by the by, L.O.L.A. stands for "Lovably Odd Lifelike Avatar".
Thank you for all your support. Now that "the Lola crisis" was resolved I will be posting more frequently again... (Unless another unexpected crisis hits that is 0_0)
