Jessica the Ghost | Creepypasta [origin story]

[art] old reference sheets 2014 - 2020

From top to bottom, from left to right

2014 - the very first reference sheet

Pretty basic reference sheet, much of the information on it are not up tp date anymore. The scratched text was 'Catchphrase: Behind you.' but I later created a different Creepypasta oc and gave that catchphrase to him giving Jessica a new one. I thought every character has to have a catchphrase.

2016 - remake

Almost the same reference sheet but updated design

2020 - remake

Around the year 2017 I left the fandom and removed Jessica from it. Deleted all art and changed usernames on social media. I rejoined the fandom in late 2019 and brought Jessica back at the beginning of 2020. This referene sheet is from March 2020 and I tried to remake her and make her more realistic. I will share the concept of Jessica's previous story concepts from 2015 in the next chapter. Those were both supernatural but since I've been studying psychology I decided to put some psychology into the story instead.

2020 - 'the backpack' reference sheet

I had the idea to make Jessica carry a small backpack around whenever she was out

2020 - summer vs winter reference sheets

I had this idea to have multiple versions, sort of, wanting to make it realistic so she won't be always wearing the same thing

2020 - 'personality' reference sheet

As I mentioned, I treid to put some psychology into the character, and make a sociopath out of her to explain her behavior. Not excuse her behavior but explain. The mental state of someone explains their behaviour which I was trying to do but keep in mind, the mindset does not exuse behaviour, only explains it. And keep in mind this is a fiction.

Overall

Many of the information from these reference sheet applied back in the time but not anymore. I'll be updating and making new reference sheet this year for her.
