I love looking at everyone's old characters, especially if they still draw them or adopted them and give them a "new life"! I especially love seeing characters histories, and how they may have changed either in personality or design over time ^^!

Personally my oldest adopted OC dates back to around ~2007, their original name was Ryan, however I renamed them to Ray. the image here was made by the same person who made the "Create a cat" game - Neikoish [the character is actually created by Sleepychow /Zooky ]

Characters I designed only date back to around 2011 or 2012, I can't find definitive dates for them but it seems like that would be the closest accurate time. I'll only share my character Gamer mostly because I think the name is funny, and it has this art piece that's probably the oldest piece for him ^^; he was designed off of a toy I bought irl.

I wish I could just share my toyhouse with the correct tags to show you my silly creations but I'll spare you the rest ^^;

Ohhh my gosh these ancient OCs are always so fun to see 😭 so much nostalgia from those early days on dA I love your guys

my oldest guy is https://toyhou.se/1476232.radioactive
I can’t remember the exact date he was made cause the creator’s account is deactivated but maybe if I did some digging- but he’s from 2012-14 somewhere in those years aaa ;v; all I know is I was either pretending to be 13 or I was 13 when I got him 💀 

I love your collection, dude! These are awesome!

Mine are joke characters now, but I have Cheesewedge and Hans! My friend designed them in 2012 (original links in their descriptions) and let me adopt them a few years ago—nearly ten years later! c:

(not counting characters i made as a kid..) Feliackk and End are my oldest guys! They’re almost six years old.
