CRINGETOBER DAY 11: oldest OC!!!!

YAYYY!! this is the first time successfully drawing this oc since the time around his creation, his name is Casper and there's sort of a strange story surrounding how he was created 

so it was around when I was 11 and I was really into Mr beast. i would binge watch his videos with my sister constantly which led to me having a dream about being in one of his challenges. i was in a "24 hours in the rainforest" video and with me there was a group of guys also participating, among those people there was a boy my age with dirty blonde hair who was really quiet the whole time, eventually we sort of became firmilar with each other as we navigated the rainforest. some other stuff happened in the dream that I don't remember cuz of how long its been but one thing I do remember is that the image of this guy really stuck with me even after I woke up

sometime after that dream, I realized that people can just,, make their own characters. I was a really dumb kid and really closeted from how the world worked so somehow I believed that in order to make your own characters you needed to go to college for art and have a degree, like I never before thought that I could just make one up. and so, the boy from the Mr breast dream became my first ever original character, Casper Avi.

I tried looking for old drawings of him as a reference but I wasn't able to find anything, I even checked old sketchbooks and diaries and still nothing, I really loved this guy though and I had a whole cast of characters that would interact with him (including a self-insert) and they all had crazy complex lore and relationships 

I really like how this drawing turned out, I was a bit worried for it cuz the times I've tried to draw him since then never worked out well but I think this looks pretty great
