Back in 2014 while chatting with LilArrin, I remember talking to him about changing up the glasses design on my Yoshi, but couldn't quite figure out what shape or type I wanted to stick with. This was long before I was being less stringent on how I wanted to design him; as in, I wanted to design Cookie as close to how I would dress as a Yoshi as possible, and that included eyewear.

I was stuck between square frames, circular frames, even a sci-fi visor, which I believe was one of the first times that ever showed up. Not only did he draw four different frames for me, all of them had different expressions too. Last month, while I didn't have anything new drawn up to color, I decided to take three of these, give them color, and then use them as emotes in my Discord server. So here you go: doughshi_ponder, doughshi_think, and doughshi_cheeky!

I also recall doing all of these a little differently from each other; after all, I really hadn't opened Paint.NET in months, so I was feeling a little rusty about how I wanted to approach it. I did them in this order, left to right, so as I went from one to the other, I figured things out better, especially when doing the eyes.

Thanks again to Dr. Zergling for having done these for me all those years ago, I know I can't do the color as well as you have, but I guess when they're so tiny on-screen, maybe it's an alright compromise. Thanks for looking! 😋
