I commissioned popular youtube artist SNT to do a redesign of my character (she doesn't normally do commissions but granted me one as a favor.) Aside from asking to include the paintbrush spear I gave her total creative freedom and this is what she came up with. She drew the whole thing in a livestream on youtube which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgtXq_gmTwo&list=FLwd7GTfGlbGL5s3QAb4oQcQ&index=2&t=0s

Don't worry, my red shirt and yellow shoes are still the default costume, plus the decision to put pants on me was all her...that sounds weird out of context but I stand by it.
