And now for a story about Ish's development.

2012-2013: Back then I didn't know how to draw, so I made every single character in a game called SPORE. This is where the first iteration of Ish came from. Back then I barely considered Ish as a furry 'sona, more like a character I could identify with.

2014: My first colored drawn rendition of Ish. I simplified his clothing and went from armor to his signature spandex suit. I also gave Ish some long hair.

2015: First digital reference of Ish. The reason for the odd chest lines is that I wanted to give him some "alien anatomy" but I quickly realized this was a bad idea. The lines on the suit changed for this iteration.

2016: This is the first instance of Ish's modern look. His belt is a straight line and the Namonzro crest is on his suit's chest. I also gave Ish a hood, which has always been with Ish since.

2017: I was learning how to shade on this instance. This version didn't change much at all about Ish, except for his hair, which is slightly longer, giving it a mix between long and short hair styles.

2018: Current iteration. It changes nothing about Ish (He had the optional glowing cyborg eye since '16), and its only improvement is how I drew him.

Here's a history of my 'sona, from 2012-2018. 6 years on, it's unbelievable.
