Yep, that is exactly what I think happened.
Have you noticed since Neon became important, PK has tried inserting the other Turf Tigers into the story as well? Like Vivian working in Telsic Yard with Neon, and Shizu being Jupet's sister?

(inb4 Lily's husband was Biff)

I went back and re-read all of Flora and I think PK had the plot sort of planned out until the timeline fuckery ( she still "retconned" the first version of Itchy Itchy and Curiosity Killed The Rat, I just realized I read the old versions ) but Neon could be a new addition. She never appears in any flashbacks, even that scene where Cress "falls" through ~foreshadowing~:

Unless she's supposed to be the googled person at the beginning of it.

She went back and edited it though, it didn't always used to foreshadow the story. Yes, I had copies of the old pages. If you want to compare ...

Yeah, I don't know why this is so relevant, like it isn't anything inherently bad that PK has done ... I just find it interesting, and it's just more proof of her short attention span I guess.
And yeah, just like Lily and Jupet clearly were (as they were edited in later), Neon is a character that PK never even thought about when the original story was being written. She just goes along with whatever pops into her head in the moment, and I bet when the last chapter of Seeds was being written that she never even thought about white Beleth, Jupet, Lily/TAL, and whatever the hell is going on now. So no, I'm sorry to say, but I actually don't think PK had planned much of the story out at that time!
But imagine if this page was edited again now. How many Neon symbolisms would we find there? Because it is currently very much dominated by Beleth, her old self insert.
(Yes, I still have the old version of the comic where Beleth was actually bearable.)

I had to look up who Vivian even was, I totally forgot, and before you pointed out it is her on this page http://floraverse.com/comic/seeds-war-is-hell/call-sign/627-call-sign-p13/ I thought it was just another random Neon sibling, like Xenon

those images are incredible. just incredible. I'm amazed that PK made a page that was supposed to be foreshadowing but then had to go back and edit said page once the story happened so it would actually work. (does this make sense? sorry I'm tired)
 
So PK is trying to write Steins;Gate for furries? Frequency shifts instead of worldline divergence. Magic instead of theoretical science. Gods trying to save seeds (???) instead of time traveling to save the future. And one autist to remember it all! Though Steins had interesting characters. Ops, got that one wrong glip.
 
Heh, I actually thought PK had some more semblance of long-term planning from the foreshadowing page, but now I feel slightly scammed.

I hate when PK gets attached to a character because with each redraw, their design (and personality) gets progressively worse.

Check out the face fur, which has now grown into four facial tumors:

Also the body's undergoing some spaghettification. Even the forehead got longer.

Neon's face also keeps getting longer, and her goggles weren't always the size of frisbees.

Her art style in general has seemed to evolve from cute, round, chubby--into long, bug eyed, tiny pupiled, pencil-bodied, tumor fur tufted screeching harpies.

Well, here goes that inch of credibility I thought her story had.
I guess she'll go and edit Neon in Try, Try Again at one point, since it's obvious she never exsisted there.

Looking at how the characters used to be designed it's so weird, especially Beleth, they had a nice stoic expression and almond shaped eyes.

New page:
http://floraverse.com/filestore/c13...ce5000174642ebec1c50a27321b7bf14078c58665.png

Necropossums are fairies? What? Is explained somewhere what a fairy is?
Also, I'm surprised Neon realized showing Lily her child's death spot wasn't a brilliant idea. Timeline amnesia or not.
 
To be fair, this is a thing that often happens in comics or art, characters shifting in appearance as the artist's way of drawing them develops, but that said a lot have definitely changed for the worse. I'm neutral on Amdusias, and Lily's old design isn't great and looks child-like, but her new one is just ridiculous with how big PK's made her mane. She's made all her characters so lanky and stretched out, plus she always ends up giving them huge round eyes because everybody needs to be able to spastically emote otherwise she thinks they're too dull.

Old Beleth was a good example of how you can have your characters have differing emotive ranges. Usually a very stoic/flat expression, differing from a lot of the others with much more varied or expressive ranges. Now fucking everyone is spastic and emotes in the same way. I think Lily, at this point, is the only one we haven't seen emoting in a batshit crazy screechy way, other than maybe Claude? The way PK's characters emote/screech/overact reminds me of The Fairly OddParents.
 
I didn't even know that PK attempted to foreshadow something with this page. Always thought this was just her trying to be edgy. Here's the differences circled in blue though, in case anyone wanted a to see for themselves.

I think she's confused the meaning of "construed" with "stated." Or this is just her projecting her own thoughts as truth, again. Because if no one was interpreting her characters as underage, there'd be no problem. You can call the character whatever age you want, but if you draw them with childlike proportions and mannerisms, people will certainly "construe" them as kids.

She's just another weeaboo furfag who thinks that "She may look like she's 5 years old but she's actually a 1000 year old dragon!" is a good excuse.

It's really fucking sloppy that she had to go back and quietly edit a foreshadowing page because she didn't plan ahead and changes her mind about who to feature constantly.

Speaking of Cress, it's been almost a year since blob and bird adventure has been worked on. So much for ever finishing it.

damn you're right, time flies by I guess. and even though PK puts out like 2 pages every week(?) there hasn't even happened that much in the comic since then

edit: and nice examples for how PK stretches out and flattens characters over time, it's so bad in their faces

Dialogue-free version. I also tried to fix Neon's posture so she looked like slightly less of a turbocharged autist and her reaction wasn't completely overshadowing Lily's by virtue of being about a million miles over the top. This really is not about how bad we should be feeling for poor, stammering, cringing Kid Neon right now, PK, or at least it shouldn't be - and why is she cringing, anyway? She's coming off like a battered spouse. The world won't stop spinning on its axis and hurl us all into the depths of space if her reaction isn't presented as if it were the most important thing happening in every single panel she's in.

Bravo for doing the God Jesus's work there. That panel is 10 times better without the dialogue.

Maybe if she were a better writer she wouldn't get bored with her characters.

Maybe if her character's weren't all carbon-copy self-insert's she wouldn't get bored with her characters.

She's getting the dumb fur-poncho Alice has, too.

To be fair, Lily always has those tear-drop shaped shoulder tuffts giving her that "poncho" effect, but I agree about the hair. Seems like it's getting un necessarily huge and pomfy like a Lion's Mane or something.

I'm a little late, but I love the floating disembodied arm that's crawling along Neon's torso all Adam's Family style in the yoga thing.

Of course, this is a commission, which might explain why PK couldn't be fucked to even notice that she didn't draw the rest of Lily in that panel. :biggrin: Or maybe she did, but just didn't care.
