after trying (and failing, due to not having enough energy to make it perfect) to draw a more formal reference sheet for both this form and his street clothes for commission purposes, I settled on just making a deformed-ass doodle to just nail down the style i wanted. I'm like 99% sure I'm going to change it later down the line, but I just wanted a general reference for now.
Lore™ and explanations beneath the cut, and feel free to send Asks about lore/design points you're curious about!
