i fear the old one suffered from the “giving a character vitiligo because it looks cool” phenomenon so i nuked it. even though i explicitly remember justifying my vitiligo decision via telling myself “he literally has spots as a cat he’s literally not real he's literally a fictional character i literally don't have to be realistic whatsoever i literally didn't even do it for le diversity points anyways” etc etc etc. i also fear he suffered from the “draw a woman and call it a man” phenomenon, purely based on 1 person ~5 years ago telling me he was too curvy for a grown ass adult man. which. fair. i’ll never draw him with curves again unless i also draw him with tits. at the same time as the curves. what fucking ever.
