I hate looking at that really old art lol but thought it'd be fun to put these together to compare lol~ The first one is probably uhhm circa 2012-ish? And the middle is 2016. Idk if I like the new one yet, I've gotta look at it for awhile and decide 9o9

I've had this avi for so long that I forget frequently that people don't know the source of it, and especially they don't know it's not meant to be ME. He's a mascot character I drew a lot when I was posting a lot on y!gallery, who I (embarrassingly) just called "y/aoi boy" (It was a different time on the internet lol.) The first icon here is actually a later artwork of him, I had been drawing him for a long while before 2012. He has no real development or substance because the only thing I decided when I created him was that he was a slut, and when I later tried to build out some other characterization it would all fall apart because giving him any other personality traits made him not slutty enough u-u But I cannot delete him because anything else feels wrong uuu-uuu

Anyway I look forward to aging him up as I age and he will eventually go full daddy, in whatever art style I have when I'm 60~~

Just curious because I honestly don't know, but what are your pronouns? Or if you use multiple, your preferred pronouns?

Djavanadon

I like the new icon! It's very representative of your new style.

Aleesha

Love this. Also that he's called Yaoiboy lmao

Liam Borja

actually super rad. it's nice to see your growth as an artist and also the evolution of a mascot. pretty sweet

I like they/them, but I'm generally fine with however people refer to me; I don't really talk about my preference because I never want anyone correcting others about my pronouns if they use different ones. Gender is not an important part of my identity, to me personally.

I’ve been a fan since your y!gallery days and I’m so glad I found you on Patreon now

I love that his hand is now the arrow! I had no clue about his origins but now.... I'd really like to see more? lol Should I journey down this rabbit hole? Do I need breadcrumbs? lol

What a throwback! That first one was what I remember when I first started following your work 😂 it’s been such a pleasure watching your art grow 🙌🏻

I remember the 2012 version 0_0 so long ago..

simrell

i love your new icon and i love your slutty yaoi boy! ;_; would it be weird to request him sometime in the monthly requests?

reapersun

Y!gallery, the source of all my nsfw of him, got completely purged, and I self-purged a lot of my older sfw art, so I'm not sure how much of him still exists online now for you to find; this is maybe the oldest thing I have left, from 2006 (the description is really cringe, I was 22 when I posted this, oh no) https://www.deviantart.com/reapersun/art/King-of-Swords-31766315 I also did this style meme of him in 2011, when I was calling him Jack: https://www.deviantart.com/reapersun/art/Pixiv-style-meme-211254986 If you do any more digging then I sincerely apologize if you find any of my old weird shit... I've been on the internet for too long and made a lotta mistakes OwO

reapersun

Hm! I don't think it'd be weird, tho I honestly don't know whether I'd be up to drawing him again? It was kind of disappointing when I tried to flesh him out into a more rounded character and nothing felt right, so I don't really know... WHO he is, if that makes sense? So I'm not sure what context would be interesting for me to draw him in. But I wouldn't mind seeing those requests and thinking more about it!

At the risk of sounding innapropriate, you've already hit dad territory. When I looked at the third image I had to do a double take cuz Y-Boy looks exactly like my father. 😂 (My dad was a young parent and has a baby face.)

Leonace

The evolution is amazing, it's like different photos of different ages! I love the new drawing and that the finger and arrows point to the missing canine.

It is so wonderful to learn more about the story behind the icon. Thank you for sharing. I remember the old icon, it changed so much ❤️❤️❤️

Azrielen

Oh yay! I’ve kind of wondered about your icon before. Also I like what you said about pronouns above because I feel exactly the same way!

Love this!!

Yesss, love this character! It's so cool to have OCs for so long that they start growing along with you! I've been following your work since y!gallery days, i actually joined a fanart contest you had on there for people to draw him long ago :) I've always loved your style and though I agree it hurts to look back and i really love your stuff now, i liked it a lot then too! Your work has always been very inspirational to me, and I'm so happy you're still going strong. Also happy to see that a little piece of that history is still following with this icon too! Awesome ~

reapersun

Oh wow, you were in that contest!! I've unfortunately lost all of that art so I couldn't remind myself about the logistics about that contest lolll, I'm kinda embarrassed about it now and retroactively touched that many people got involved who I didn't expect~ I wish that a small creative community like Y!gal existed now, it was really fun in the early days!
