After having the original sit in its gross corner for a year (maybe two? It was either in 2020 or early 2021; I drew it during a chatroom) I decided it was time for an upgrade.
This is still not my best work, but that's sort of on purpose: I used the more dramatic shading and lighting and my old detailing style to pay homage to the old days.
Tropic is your average, cheery RainWing. He uses he/him pronouns and owns a pleasant smoothie shop in the rainforest, spending most of his days there or with his (still unnamed) boyfriend.
