Well done. Now delete that image.

I'm not joking. Delete it. Kill it. Burn it down to ash. Let the smouldering wreckage it leaves behind light the spark of your real Creation.

You're going to try again. And this time, be honest. You will Create your Character yourself, drawn in your art program of choice.

Fuck keeping it simple. Fuck base principles. Fuck anything that would have you compromise on yourself. This time, you're drawing your True Self. Not just what you are. What you could be. What you want to be. What you ache to be in the dreams you hide from yourself, blossoming in the sky like a technicolor supernova and shouting to the world, "I AM". Even if that True Self is a fictional character.

And, no, I don't care how "cringe" you think it is. I don't care if you think it's offputting, or too much, or too far. You can hide your soul from a lot of things, wanderer, but not from the Character Creator.

Once you've done it, save that image to your device and continue here.
