"I'm writing a story with him, I need to determine how exactly he looks," I thought.
"A quick sketch to nail down his colors," I thought, "he's my sona after all."
"Nothing too detailed," I thought, "a quick color tryout."

Oh, how wrong I was. This "quick color tryout" escalated beyond all expectations. After more than 30 hours of work (scattered over three months), I had remade the line art at least thrice and ended up with 3 (or 6) finished versions of this "sketch"; and I would've made two more if I wasn't fed up with working on this.

The pose is a bit stiff and flat, due to it starting out as a "quick color tryout" with the intention to show his pattern.
The background was done comparatively hastily.

Here is his proper refsheet.
