Did you dress me in some kind of tweed jacket? At first, I thought it was just one of my usual, standard flannel shirts; now I see it has a jacket lapel!
The Composite Satisfactoryman is an abomination!
You'll understand if I maintain that the clothing is the least abominable thing about this portrait.
Plus, didn't you tweak this image digitally before it was colored? You could easily have followed your barbering with some tailoring.
But I guess this is why it pays to show you pencils before I ink...
I agree: the abominable part has noting to do with the costume.
I'm not complaining; I'm just noting an unusual choice on your end. You can dress your doodles in tuxes and muumuus if you want to.
