So, the rebrand has been a bit of a mess. I sketched up some concept art of how the character should look, and I thought a shadow-like design would be easy to make... it was not

It's essentially the same concept as before, featuring me with a hat and fancy suit, but the design is much more stylized. The character is meant to be wearing a showman style outfit.

Something roughly like this, if you have an unimaginative brain

Originally, he was going to have a proper face, but I couldn't get it right, and I knew the final attempt for you all to see was going to look horrible. so, I got the brilliant idea to just cover it up so he looks like a shadow or something, Ralsei-style.

That way, I can reveal the epicness of his face when I finally learn how to do it properly, lol.
Also, here's his hat, by the way, for anyone curious

Anyway, back to the problem: I couldn't model him myself, so I asked my awesome friend Ryder if he could give it a try. It turned out to be too complex for him, which is completely okay – he was literally going to do it for free, so I'm very grateful regardless.
So, no model, and I'm in no mood to find someone else right now since I have to start work soon. Because of that, I thought I might as well just use the sketch art for now and we'll see how it goes. Thankfully, it's actually a bit high quality, although nothing worth screaming about.
I don't know, I don't really want to rush into the Game Jolt thing, so do you think I should take my time or try to do it with this temporary improv for now?
Just to be clear by "doing it now with the imrpov" wouldn't mean literally now, I would change my pfp and all that but it would take abit before I attempt to apply for creator, I would take my time with that, it's just there would be no model of my oc yet.
