Here’s Dylan, who is from the same story/universe as Akira, though Dylan lives in the river society there and Akira in the mountain one.   This whole saga came from a camping trip in 2001, and, for some reason, I decided to draw Dylan every single year on the anniversary on his creation.  So I have a very strange progression of this kid from 2001 to 2007, when I stopped just because I probably forgot, I dunno.  His first image is in the top left, and next to that is 2003, which is both his best year in terms of how he looked and the image that felt the most like him when I looked back through everything.  He’s always felt kind of childish and fun - he liked pretending to be a rock star in a universe that by all accounts should not even have them, so I don’t know what we’ll do with that if we decide to make tweaks to this - so the newest drawing is a bit impish in the face, haha.  

He also got a re-allocation of his wardrobe.  He’s been in this weird red and black thing for all these years that definitely was inspired by the same stuff that brought about Euro, but it stopped making sense ages ago, so now he’s angled more Ancient Egyptian with the kind of knee length kilt approach rather than like, a weird strip of leather chained to his chest because the person who created him wasn’t confident in their bare chest drawing abilities.
