New character drop. His name is Stephen Heyward, which if you have seen any of my previous pictures, he is the guy in the blue t-shirt; (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/cursedpoptart89/anna-and-stephen-at-the-art-store). I updated his design a bit, gave him a a slightly different long hair style (more bangs), and slightly different eyeshape.

He is a shy introvert who is an artist just like Anna Moriko. When he is comfortable enough with the right person, he drops his guard and opens up to that particular person. I think Stephen and Anna's friendship is the core foundation of my story I am working on. A story about two broke artists that feel isolated for many reasons, but they find each other despite of many things beyond their control.
