I still feel the originals had a lot of life though I’m very proud of my reworks. One thing to note, yes, all the characters were redrawn to look older because, uh they were/are. The characters are between 16-17 years old and I originally drew them looking more like 13 yrs old.
I can’t get over how pouty I made Blair the first time. She’s a character with a ton of spunk, energy and takes charge. But she also was a typical insecure teenager with a crush.
Hector didn’t change much in his redraw but to make him look cooler. He’s the older one in the group and relishes feeling cool among Blair and Dallas. Though, Hector isn’t as sure as he seems and can easy be pushed around. He really just wants to make others happy. My writer AJ related to Hector the most.
Dallas, I can expressed how happy I am with his redraw. I struggled so hard with his design and my redraw is always how I thought he would look. (It’s that hair man! Hard to draw back then). Dallas isn’t as sure as Blair of Hector and likes to follow the rules. He comes off as aloof but his skin isn’t as tough as he seems. Dallas was always the character I felt the most attached to.
