A collection of Zeny through the years. 

The first version was made in 2005 back when I first got internet and went through a Starfox phase, so I thought I’d make him some sort of pilot for some reason. He also had a giant puff of hair on his head that ended up looking like an afro so I just call it that.

In 2007 I refined his design a bit more and I gave him some spiffy martial arts clothing back when I was obsessed with Street Fighter, but I eventually moved away from that. 

In 2010, Zeny started to approach his more contemporary iteration but I was still very much into my martial arts obsession. At this point, I thought about making a very cool headed individual but I grew out of that because it didn’t seem right.

In 2012 I had Zeny modeled after 1960s mech anime pilots and he’s the Zeny most of you got familiar with. In this sense, this is a prototypical Zeny for his current design.

Finally, we come to Zeny’s 2014 model and the one I hope everyone enjoys. Zeny now looks more mature, around 18 or 19 years of age. I really hope he continues to develop as a character and that everyone enjoys that development.
