New character guy to represent my “Florida” me.
Well, not exactly. More like, I wanted to make a character that was more body positive and geared towards feeling better about being tubby. I know I have Arrow the big nosed dog, and Howly the wolf- but somehow they feel more dignified? I guess I should say? Not really so much like me in the sense of big, cuddly, dorkish goof.
I’ve had the pleasure and honor, within the course of three weeks, to hang out with some dugong’s- otherwise known as the Manatee or Sea cow- and though I may love canines, I feel manatee’s are pretty much my spirit animal 4 lyfe (LOL).

So this is Ocala. I named him after a county in Florida where a well reputed park is known to have manatee’s drifting throughout the river :) Hope you like! There’ll be a lot more of him
