The Story of Kutso

Description

Bland title is bland. I know. I started this last night, and just finished it today. So... Yeah. Like all OCs, they change over time. Kutso is no different. I'll probably do something like this for her kids and the rest of her family down the line, but this is mainly focusing on my first YuGiOh!OC. Without any further ado, Let's get started. (For the sake of making this easier, the Kutso you all know will be referred to as 'A' and the one who I made changes to will be referred to as 'B'.)

Backstory
I remember around December of 2010, and being at my desk, on the computer. I remember seeing Marinta's picture of her oc and a spark appeared. The topic of YuGiOh interested me, and naturally I searched if there were any ocs on here. The good thing: there were. After a few pages of browsing, I came across a few pictures of Toni, Etsuko, and a few others that I can't seem to find since it was late 2010.

Feeling inspired, I took out a notebook and started to draw. The process took the longest time for me. Usually, I would know what the character would look like. Right then and there, I didn't. I had no idea. What did I do? I decided to look up references of various yugioh canon characters for inspiration. After I saved a few, I pulled them up on the picture viewer and got to work.
I don't remember the details, but I do recall testing out different hairstyles. Contrary to "popular" belief, the bangs in the original picture were based off of Yami's. She's also the first poc character I've ever created. That's saying a lot since I AM a person of color*. (More on that... if you are curious.)

Ever since, Kutso Yaiba has been dominating my gallery, if you can't already tell. xD I won't say that she was the best character I've ever created, I don't think I've created one of such high quality yet; but she is one of my favorites. I'm not saying that she was sue-like. I took a mary-sue test multiple times before the site went down and the results were that she was a borderline sue. I decided to keep it that way, and not give her any more... characteristics, so to speak.

The Comparison

I thank you all for reading the description! I should've done this as a text submission, but one thing let to another and... it was too late for me to change it. I promise, the next comparisons will be in a text format. Believe me on that one.
