picked back up something i used to do where i kept a chronology of all the pixel art i'd done of my ref/sona over the years. the last time i touched this was back in 2016, so i had a good bit to add, though also not that much since i haven't drawn my representative character that often the last few years.
i added a bunch of arrows and excited marks to the last sprite in 2020 because it's the point where i started drawing a sona for myself based on how i actually present irl instead of a more masculine character who'd stopped really representing me a few years prior. it was a really pivotal shift for my self-perception and it basically effectively led to me embracing my actual gender and starting hrt a little over a year later, so it's very important to me!
