Blake uses her semblance as a misdirect, allowing the clone to take the hit and not her (which is why it looks exactly like her), she uses it defensively. Sun uses his semblance offensively, using them to augment his attacks (and use them for specific actions), and doesn't expect the enemy to be fooled by them (which is why they look different to him). That's how I perceived it up until this ep.

Until V3, Blake's shadows  were static clones that stayed where they were left. Now Blake held the hand of one of her clones to help herself jump.

Also, when Sun used his semblance back in V2, it seemed he needed to stay still to control the clones. This ep. he moved with them.

I'm sure their semblances have evolved during the timeskip, just like Ruby's. But what I mean is that now it feels that the only real difference between them is visual.
