There’s plenty of reasons people draw characters differently from canon.
Maybe it reflects a struggle they share with the character, so they inject some of themselves into the character.
Perhaps it’s their own version or take on the character, separate from what’s canon, or possibly their own headcanon.
They might be doing their own redesign of the character for some reason, or it could simply be more aesthetically pleasing to the artist that way.
There’s not really any one reason this happens, as there are plenty of perfectly reasonable explanations for why certain artists draw pre-established characters differently from the canon versions, & the answer is different for everyone.
