I was going trough my old references for Swarga characters and decided to show you what some of the characters used to look like in the first drafts.
Nuri has stayed mostly the same over the years, as his design has always been pretty solid. Over Nuri's head you can see the colour-tests I did before colouring the reference in full. I cannot imagine Nuri being blue or teal with purple spots, can you? XD
Nuri's mom and dad have stayed mostly the same. Mom mostly because she was in the comic only briefly, dad has mostly just lost few scars and spikes.
Hoo BOY Xing was TOTALLY different back then, wasn't he? Well, not TOTALLY different, but I have no idea why he had only one eye. His beard is also different nowadays. I suppose he was always a veteran of a war, but more of a soldier than a medic back then. Can't remember exactly, it has been a million years, lol.
