Description
Shinga has been my online handle for like almost six or seven years now(... which is just... weird). She was a Gargoyles fan character in the beginning, very cool-headed and... well, flat. No personality whatsoever(despite those CRAZY ASS ANIME BANGS WTF)... Uh... but she DID have a sword. (Sword not included in drawing). This first version of Shinga actually didn't see much of the online world, as I developed her before I started posting any art online.The first Shinga online was actually the second version, which is the dull brown gargoyle with the shorts. She was a stubborn, willful character from Ireland(cause everyone knows Ireland makes people cooler)... and she still had a sword but it wasn't as fancy. She knew some magic, but didn't use it much, and had a tendancy to speak her mind very brashly. Why I drew her so shy looking here I have no idea.
The third version was a HUGE change. Suddenly she wasn't a Gargoyle, but a mixed breed of like three different races all in one. She was sexy, bold and mischevious, with a fierce motherly streak. And yes, she WAS a mother, of two... before I decided the stories I wrote her in just sucked altogether. So ignore those two kids. They don't exist anymore. Twilight Zone shit there, man. Totally.
And in the front would be the present Shinga. Basically she's what the blue-bombshell Shinga would end up like if she lived another couple thousand years. A claustrophobic hermit who has powerful magic but never uses it unless its absolutely needed. A pretty full past, but no angsting about it, as it was a long time ago and there's no sense in crying about it.
So there you go. Every version of Shinga ever. I hope this is it. No more after this.
((Stuck it in Fanart because, y'know, Gargoyles))

sweet! I've never had a character that evolved like that. Well, there was one I drew differently every time, but I don't think that counts...

Cute! I'm still wishing I knew how to add you to my faves list! ;_;
...btw, I'm weird. I'm a girl who prefers yuri! (Then again, I love the female form... it's so pretty!)

On the artist's main page, there is a link, "Watch this Deviant." it's right underneath "journal" and "faves."
and you're not weird, I like yuri too. sometimes a masculine form just ruins the whole picture.

I remember the middle two from whe I was more active in Garg-dom... Nice changes, though... it's nice to stabalize characters. ^_^
Mercedes hasn't gone through nearly as many changes... in fact, she's had the same hair and clothes style since I created her almost 10 years ago...... Damn, I think she needs a make-over. BAD. >.<

That was really cool. Usually when people start talking about their rp-char history it's like "blah blah blah blah to the 3rd power" - but this was to the point, and actually very interesting! ^.^ And pretty drawings help, too. I think I may have to try this.

Im very fuckin curious about one thing...
Why the name?
Why Shinga?
(Cool pic, I love the newest version, I dig the whole anatomy and size ratios you have worked for your very peculiar and cool drawing style.)

I stole the name from some old movie that was playing on the Disney channel a while back. There was a lion named ShingaLana. I liked it

I like these images, where you see a character developing and changing through time.
They're all great in their own way. I like the bangs on the first Shinga, and the blue one's face has the most attitude.

Sounds like my Magelet character.
She went through some crazy developmental stages too.
She was a young archer girl when I first made her.
Now she's a crazy knife-wielding winged vampire. LOL.
This makes me wanna do a Stages of Magelet drawing...
But I'd feel too much like I was copying all of a sudden.
Maybe another time.
I think your present day Shinga is my fave!!
Awesome piece!

Why do I suddenly feel the urge to start tossing Poke-balls? :grin: Gotta Catch 'Em All! ^_^
Great work, Shing-shing! I love seeing the earlier versions of your character... the second version looks cute all shy like that.
Great work! ^_^

Very neat. ^_^ I like to see the way people progress artisticly/emotionally/etc.. as they age.. and seeing the development of someones main identity character is always very interesting to me. I've wanted to do something like this with my own online personas.. maybe I will.. ^_^ very cool. Blue Shinga is teh sex btw.. >.>
Keep up the good work! Very very well done.

Wow! You know, I thought of doing something like this with my character, but it wouldn't looked NEARLY as awesome as this does! I love the layout!
I like how your present character seems to be rolling her eyes at the other three *L*
