basically; cal is kinda mean but he's trying his best
I tried to cell shade the clothes but then I realize it looked way better without it. lesson is, sometimes complicating things is not worth it
god, this really should not have taken me SEVEN HOURS according to ibispaint. how come this took longer than my "busy day" baxter piece thats like, fully rendered and shit
like, only two hours???? there are some days where I just impress myself
well anyway, fun fact: cal has red and blue color blindness (tritanopia). why? I don't know I just thought one of my ocs should be colorblind or something
I don't know if those are baxter's canon shoes because I just referenced the art for the crowdfunding countdown but they're so goofy but cool at the same time
“the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.”
— this guy, probably
looks like cal picked up the "alt boy" title after baxter left and ghosted him and everybody else, YIKES anyway this is just a point of reference for step 4 cal (my mc) so I can stop drawing his step 3 design with the step 4 character designs
his hair turned from red to completely black in the in betweens of step 3 and step 4. why??? "canon" reason is sometimes stress causes hair color changes for some people in this hypothetical universe bc genetics from biological parents
BUT the real reason is just bc I think he looks good with black hair.
