Penelope apology post
Early drawings
☆*:.。. Legacy (<3)
yeah this was a dark period for my art
Ah Penelope Miodine
Or potentially Pennépi Midenne not sure at this stage
it was Tess’s birthday yesterday (Happy 53rd!) but I ended up redesigning Penny instead
What a change am I right? And it does feel quite dramatic to me bc she’s had the exact character design for 7 years
I really didn’t like her because she was super pedantic and annoying and such a goody two shoes which is fine as a character but she had nothing to balance it out. I was treating rule-following as both a positive and negative character trait without exploring the concept. She also got all her development retconned when I reshuffled the plot so you know, that’ll do it every time.
The redesign focusses on the fact that Penelope is new in Trallum and hasn’t yet got any concept of the trends or styles or cliques etc etc. Out on the farm they were aiming for practicality / comfort so it doesn’t make sense for her to start off looking super manicured. EM:SoaA also starts during the winter, hence my decision to give her a tracksuit type outfit. I intended for it to look like those matching sets from an old catalogue that a parent might buy for their kids. It makes Penelope look younger because she’s not yet responsible for buying her own clothes.
The colour palette change was a choice building off the catalogue clothes idea, with the colours looking from a past decade. The duller, warmer tones also make her look more comfy.
Probably the most obvious change is me absolutely axing her hair—her perfectly formed ringlets don’t make sense with the scruffy tween angle that I’m applying to her. Her old hair probably has to be styled nearly every morning, something which I have somehow never considered before now. Her new hair doesn’t even need to be washed that frequently. She can roll right out of bed and go fruit picking in the orchard. Her dad is the one that cuts her hair and is very heavy handed and rough.
All that said, she will still end up all pastel and ringlets and bangs and ribbons and things, but that will be her character arc, to turn into the Penelope that I am so familiar with. This also informed my redesign choices and directed me into creating contrast with how she starts and how she ends up; short hair to long, muddy earth tones to pastels, practical to pretty.

✯PINNED POST✯
So Charlie, what's going on?
Instagram is a plague on my existence and I hate it there. Mark Zuckerberg can suck my dick.
I feel like no one cares much about my shit so this can double as a better filing system than whatever the fuck instagram stories/archives/highlights is.
