Have you ever made/redesigned an oc, but the end product was VERY different from the original idea?

Most of my ocs don’t deviate too far from the original plan with the exception of Lorelei and Wicke. I think they both benefited greatly from it though

Helena has had big changes since her original concept, so has my persona, the colors died down a lot and helenas overall style has morphed into something more manageable
Three of my ocs were actually originally created as Invader Zim fan characters when I was super into it. Later on, I became more interested in working with completely original characters, but I still really liked my aliens, so while I kept their personalities pretty much the same, I created my own alien species for them to be a part of. It was a lot of fun, and I’m always expanding on the lore for them even though I do absolutely nothing with it lol. XD
Yes. Very. You can even check it out from my current post XD
Ceri is definitely one of those OCs for me 😂
Same lol
yes, for a quick example

Jesslia started as an edgy ass punk
Ended as a baby
Yep, often. Designs change as the character changes.
Yeah its wild
yeah TT some of my older ocs that I wanted to re use ended up looking suuuuuper different
Basically all the time😅 I think it’s Good that the end product is different from the intention cuz that sorta indicates the design process-
yeah, valentina/vicky was supposed to be a rlly entitled arrogant girl who pretends to be sweet by hiding behind her cutesy pink aesthetic.

her design still has that aesthetic, but now she’s just depressed and transparent about all her feelings
Foras was supposed to be very effeminate, now he’s just old and grumpy.
Yes. The majority of my OCs have been drastically redesigned as I developed the comic. The only one who has largely remained the same as his original appearance is the protag, Will. Though I have changed his hairstyle fairly significantly.
