without getting too sappy, basically, Xavier's just a really personal character that I haven't done much with in years due to just a lot of connection issues that happened as time passed, lots of experiences kinda made me lose touch with characters in general

I feel like it's getting better though, if not just characters but with how I feel about myself and expressing myself in different ways like I used to, and after redesigning Xavier he's far more flexible than before, not just a kinda... Idk, not necessarily one dimensional character, but I definitely feel like he can be a lot more diverse in roles

Either way tho when he gets older he's a lazy ass dragon so he's just a big protective hubby tbh... Just happy to draw him as such honestly, hahaha

UH I combined some more toony elements on this one, trying to play with it some to make things more fluid, feelin off in some ways but I'm diggin how it feels in the long run
Dogthing is

edit: fixed color/dragonface
