Saki and Chloe somehow found a time portal and met themselves from the past!

Modern Saki and Chloe are on the left. Classic Saki and Chloe are on the right.

I'm a sucker for character design evolution; I've always been fascinated by the history of a character's design changing throughout the years. So, why not pay tribute to my own characters' evolution by drawing Saki and Chloe meeting their past versions/designs.

Their past counterparts were directly based on how I used to draw Saki and Chloe. Back then, Saki was slightly slimmer, and she had blue highlights in her hair. She also had somewhat shorter hair, smaller ears, and thinner eyes. Chloe was also slimmer, had shorter ears, and had a smaller ponytail. She also had a darker colored shirt.

Now that I think about it, almost all of their features, including their tummies, have gotten bigger throughout the years. I guess that applies to a lot of character designs, because their features need to be emphasized, maybe.

I’ve added a few additions to Modern Saki’s design. She now has a blue star on her stomach. This is because I wanted to add more color to her otherwise bare and neutral colored tummy. It’s also a reference to DeviantArt itself. See, like many other art sites, DA has a feature where you can “like” or “favorite” drawings. And favorites are symbolized by a star. Since Saki was designed specifically for DA, and since I literally “favorite” big tummies, I thought it would be fitting to add a star on my own character’s tummy. Also, Saki's color scheme is inspired by the Aurora Borealis (the northern lights). And those lights remind me of outer space. Stars are associated with space, so I thought the star on her tummy was fitting.

The S on her crop top symbolizes Saki herself, since her name starts with S. Also, the S has shark fins on it, for obvious reasons. And the rims of her top are also a darker blue.

This iteration of her is just an experiment. I might keep it, I might not. But after drawing her the same way for 4+ years, I wanted to give her a fresh look.

I also want her to symbolize the overall vibes of the world she lives in (as a main character usually does) so I might play with her look more.

Also, in case it wasn't obvious, this was very inspired by Sonic Generations, hence the title and Modern/Classic terminology.
