Probably some of the most popular pictures in my gallery are my designs for Ego Trip Dexter's Lab characters - and drawing characters in a different timeline (grown up, teens, etc.) is fun because I like trying to incorporate the original design to still fit my purposes - so it's recognizably "X" character but it's also a believable older character.
So anyway I was wanting to ask your advice, when designing older characters, what aspects do you think should stay most? Hairstyles, hair color or (especially) clothing colors (since characters are designed to be recognizable based on a certain color palette, but sometimes that's too immature for an older character)? I'd just kind of like to hear your thoughts on this although I admit I'm not sure if this journal makes much sense. XD
Anyway, please comment!

I think As Told by Ginger had the best example of evolving style.
I hope this helps you ^^U
so yeah basically "it depends" is my answer lol.
My father, for example, had very light blond hair when he was growing up, but by the time he left the army, his hair was starting to become darker and darker until it is now a dark-ish brown.(sorry for the stupid example XD)
As well as that, personal style changes dramatically throughout your life, it would be a little unrealistic if a character's style remained unchanged, especially in their teens/young adult years > u <
While color palette also changes throughout life, a fictional character's color palette sorta defines the way the viewer perceives them.
I'm gonna use Dee Dee as an example. She has a very bright color palette of yellow, white, blue, and pink (even her skin is bright and looks full of life and happiness!)
This matches up with her bubbly, cheerful, innocent personality perfectly and even if you saw her for the first time, you know that she will be that kind of character.
If her color palette consisted of darker colors like brown, black, grey, etc., her personality would be a bit out of place. That kind of palette you would expect to see on a character like Lalavava, hahaha!
I apologize for such a long response ^ u ^"
I hope my opinion helps you out : D

And that's a great muro drawing, actually - I still have no idea how to use it.
