Art Process: Character Planning Progression

Recently I have been working on improving the character design of my characters for Kitsune Curse.

I have found that doing animations of my characters help me to get a feel for how I want my characters to look and feel.
Because of that I made this is an animation of Itsuki, the main character of the webtoon I am working on. This way I can get a better idea of itsuki's personality and expressions.

I have been working on perfecting the character design for the characters in my comic for a while actually.
Here are some of the character designs I have made so far.
(This way you can see the progression I have made with my characters)

This was some of the early designs of the 3 main character of Itsuki, Chiyo (Ikichi), and Hideo

These are the first animations I made of Itsuki and Chiyo. As you can see the look of the characters changed quite a bit.

The sketches I made of Itsuki actually looked a bit different than the vectored versions I made.

This was a test I made to figure out Chiyo's body type.... I am still working on this.

I wanted to make each character in my story unique ... so these are the students I plan to have in the story.

I also wanted to plan out some other key characters in my story.

I already made the first 5 episodes of Kitsune Curse on Webtoons, you can find it here https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/kitsune-curse/list?title_no=212184

Right now I am taking a break to re-work the story and character design so the quality can be better.
Here are some panels you can check out though

I am now re-making Itsuki and the other characters, so far this is what I have. I hope to come out with character sheets of all the man characters soon.
