The lovely devs over at @twoandahalfstudios were kind enough to send me the art of the outfit I got to design for Casper as a KS backer! It came out perfect, I'm so happy I got to support them.

I'm forever thankful I got to be a part of my favorite game (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈) If anyone ever draws fanart of him wearing this please feel free to tag me cause I'd love to see it <3
