Decided to do some sketches of Reka at different ages/pivotal stages of development in the overall story.

Age 8 - Sweet, still-hopeful Reka. Before all the STUFF happens. This is when he's got Hisao and his circle of friends.

Age 13/14 - TAKEOVER prequel and Eternal Rain - Jaded Reka. In TAKEOVER, he's started his rebellious phase and grown his hair out. He's varying degrees of moody and guarded in this arc and the ones to follow, though his mental state/outlook is better while he's working with his team to save the Gates in the main series.

Age 15/16 - REVISITED sequel and Eternal Storm - Reka in recovery. He's mellowed out some in REVISITED and becomes more outgoing/playful with his teammates in this sequel and Eternal Storm. This is also when he's hit his growth spurt!

Age 38 - Keyholders' Legacy - Reka trying to figure out how to dad. XD He keeps his hair a bit shorter again, but still has a ponytail. (I struggle with aging characters that have set looks past 20!! I think I did a little better here?)
