So, I created another upscaled drawing of Gio, with this one made to look like an old photograph - showing his entire body instead of just a head shot like the previous two. I simplified the details, added irises to his eyes (which are dark brown, by the way) and redrew his sunglasses to look more realistic (which are also brown, including the lenses - think brown glass beer bottle colored - and for a very good reason - so that they block blue light).

I recolored his earmuffs'z padding and support bar, as well as his mouth, to be dark gray shades - because they're actually all black, including his hair, belt, and pants, - but you wouldn't be able to see any of the details if everything was black, so they're all dark gray shades instead as stand-ins for black for viewer convenience, as his fur is obviously already black.

If you notice, the picture has a brown tinge to it, almost like an old photograph. I manually created this effect (along with the entire drawing) in Microsoft Paint (yes, Microsoft Paint, specifically the Windows XP version), and nothing else by adjusting the Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) values for every single color in the drawing. I did this by dividing the RGB values by 4 (to convert the colors in question to 25%) and then adding 25% brown (the Red value divided by 4 plus 32, the Green value divided by 4 plus 16, and if either are already 0 in a color, then the Red value is 32, and the Green value is 16, respectively; then rounding up the Luminescence value, or Lum for short in Paint's color selector/editor, to the nearest multiple of 4, then repeat the process for every single color used in said drawing after selecting the Edit Colors option under Color to open the color selector in Microsoft Paint).

The white edge of the picture is reduced to 50% with 25% brown tint (the Red value divided by 2 plus 32, and the Green value divided by 2 plus 16).

The shadow on the ground was created by creating a silhouette that is flipped vertically (upside down), colored to be 50% of the color of the ground in question, then skewed -45 degrees (top to bottom, left to right [ \ ] ) to make it look like a shadow being cast on the ground.

(January 10th, 2024): And, to sell the old photograph look, I resized the image in the new Microsoft Paint (Windows 11, as is my computer) from 208x280 to 208x2800 (the part within the white border). The new Microsoft Paint has a built in Anti-Aliasing feature which blurs low resolution images (like pixel art) to make them look smoother when enlarged - which is perfect for recreating the blurriness of an old photograph, VHS film, CRT TV screen/computer monitor, etc., which I didn't realize I could do, but since I can - why not?

If you're wandering how tall he is, he's 5 foot 11 inches (71 inches, or 180 centimeters) tall - but if you included his ears, he'd be another 2 feet (24 inches, or 60 centimeters) taller!
