Description

Amelyn and Lu are the characters I've had the longest. I generally abandon every project I create, but this one stuck, I don't know why. They are not at all similar to their first appearance, but they are from the same evolution, always been together, always will be.
Sorry for the long text, read only if you are interested :3

Stardust (2012):

Amy, born as a character named “Stardust”, started with a self-portrait character inspired by a dream I had back in 2012. I was in a “Little Prince” looking world, in space with a ton of little planets, and I was the princess of stars. In my dream, the day was taking over the night and the sun made the stars disappear and I had to stop it. I kept the basic ideas and wanted to make a sort of children story. Lü, who started as a simple star, was always called like that, my best friend at the time just became a big brother and his parents called their daughter Lu, I liked the name so I kept it. Allan came shortly after as a “Day Person” for Stardust to meet and understand how his people doesn’t really have control over the decisions of their ruler. (sta.sh/21u4x01e9vi4?edit=1)

This first sketch is what I suspect to be the very first depiction of who will become Amy.

Stardust (2012-2013):

I changed the world a bit to a more Steampunk like universe, with guns, airships, the little planets became floating isles. Stardust was gifted on the day of her birth by Lu, now a simple looking yellow light instead of a star. Stardust later decided that Lu meant she was promised to great achievements. So, she ran way, stole a soldier uniform and an airship to go and find a way to stop the war. I found it a boring since the steampunk universes were already a little over saturated by then.

Stardust, Lü and Allan.

Amely (2013-2014):

Changed the name for a more common and less “Mary-Sue sounding” one. I was still a bit attached to the steampunk concept so I kept parts of it. I changed the appearance of her people to give them a more fantastic look. I genuinely only wanted to make her look “more original”. Amy got a brother and was now a passionate fencing student. I went to a short phase when I wanted Amy’s people to be 10th century Russian inspired. Lu is now a strange humanoid being attached to a blue crystal. Amely also wears an orange crystal, like all her people, because of a curse that was put onto them. Their sun worshiping enemies put a curse on them centuries ago so the became extremely sensible to the sun light and their skin burns off if they are not wearing their orange crystal. But I scrapped it out because there were to many crystal things happening. (sta.sh/21joaw1q9jyi?edit=1)

Amelyn (2014-2015):

I discovered a real passion for the Vikings during my readings about Europe’s history, and the art, civilisation and culture they made and had during their last centuries just inspired me so much I had to change the inspiration for Amy’s country again. And it didn’t change since, I’m still a Viking lover. I had a “n” to her name, even if it doesn’t really exist, it sounded better to me. Lu’s appearance and concept didn’t change much. I add Amy’s large nose, because who doesn’t love unique noses <3

Amelyn (2015-Current)

I made her smoll! And bubblier :heart: I changed a bit the origin of her people, they are not just people with tails and big ears, they’re half-troll and half-human, doesn’t change much, but I liked it. I also changed her personality, I made her more optimistic, courageous and affectionate. Lü is now more fluid and can her appearance for a sort of light liquid.
