Not sure I’d call myself an artist here, but I made you a completely AI-free version. I’ve tweaked a few small things, but can change them if you want. If you like it, it’s yours to use with no payment required
Just thought you might want to see what I’ve done. It’s now AI-free - hooray! I took your drawing, turned it into vectors in Inkscape and then tweaked parts (except the notch in the ear, which was perfect), before adding the blur outline and text in Gimp. It’s all been a very useful learning experience for me - especially using Inkscape, which seems to be a seriously impressive bit of software. Of course the good thing about having it as vectors is that it means it’s easy to tweak details.
Ah mate! That is brililant! Thank you so much. The proportions of the eyes are so much better and I love it. I’ll definitely be using it. I don’t know where you are, but if you are in the UK and near Whitby I’ll pour you a pint of Stinky Cat beer! Thanks again.
I’m in Cambridge at the moment, just doing homebrew but the plan is to retire to Whitby in a couple of years and start brewing properly. Whitby is the only place in the UK where I feel truly at home. It’s brilliant.

You’re welcome! I’m also in the UK but a couple hundred miles north of you. Whitby looks lovely, I hope get to stop by some time
