If you noticed, I tend to draw Xynthica
at many different ages, usually between ten to twenty. At the
time I am writing this, I have just turned 21 years old. I think
Xynthica will also grow with me as time passes. Cartoon and anime
characters don't really grow much in terms of appearance on a
gradual level, and sometimes, the script writers never plan that
far in advance, so that is why I decided to plot Xynthica's growth
throughout her life to parallel my current age.
I can't remember how old I was when I came up with the
original Xynthica concept, probably when I was a kid. She didn't
start off being a manga like character until my high school years,
just a little fact.
The idea back then was to give her as
many odd extra body parts as possible, like mermaid gills, rabbit
ears, an angels halo, huge rainbow wings, a tail. Somewhere down
the line as I started to learn the trade of the animator, I learned
that trying to draw this consistently can make you go completely
insane. So as the years passed, Xynthica's default appearance
became much more normal looking. Not sure if this is a good thing
or not, but it sure makes drawing her easier.
