Life stages

The same Ernest Exile Rowley at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.

Build Ernest Exile Rowley's canonical likeness first (below) — the stages age from it. You can still pin a real photo to any stage now.
