I still feel like to an extent this has a lot of YOU energy, rather than just a totally fictitious character, which honestly? I sort of prefer, it makes him feel a little more close to home and also a bit more real, having said that I never minded goat you either and I am glad despite the change, there are still elements of goat you there, such as the muted colour scheme, as well as leaning into more cool colours. The main points that remind me of you, is mostly the ringlets around the eyes, as well as the more slender build, plus it has your current hair cut. ^^

The commission itself is very cute, I feel like you have a somewhat charming sleazieness to you, I couldn't tell you what specifically is giving me that impression, but I assure you it's a positive thing and the last thing I was gonna hit on is, the artwork is very clean/sharp and the more toony look works really well with the character you came up with, I hope you continue to connect with him and he brings you plenty of joy (your new sona I mean). : )
