Well *almost* 5 Years as she was more or less created around November/December 2015 and it doesn't include those first drawings (as they were black and white on paper)
This is more or less how she's evolved over the years along with my art style and honestly breaking it up into individual years doesn't really do it justice since there were alot more 'generations' of my style especially early on.
Breakdown
2015: First successful digitally colored Sara (paper drawn, second attempt of the same image). I was still drawing and coloring everything on paper at this time so only some basic 'photoshopping' was applied here
2016: Taken from 'Starlight Beach' a pre-internet presence drawing that was never uploaded. Most drawings were still drawn on paper and I did buy my drawing tablet this year.
2017: Taken from 'Forgetting Something' which can be found in my 2017 Deviant Art gallery
2018: Titled 'Random' on Deviant Art, it really shows off that horrendous (late 2017- mid 2018) hair texturing thing I was doing for a while, and how eyes tended to run off the side of the face.
2019: An unreleased drawing titled 'Sara redesign'
2020: Sara sporting some new ears and general refinement
