Yeah, Apex Soundwave really made me realize how convincing my faux-childhood art is. It’s odd how much I love drawing so crudely when my more polished stuff gets such praise for being so clean and professional-looking. But yeah, chalk it up to my fondness for my own childhood back in the 90s.
This style in particular aims to recreate how I drew when I was in preschool and then kindergarten in 1992-93 (I am 30 now, so it’s a nice sort of 25-year anniversary thing for when I first started drawing.) But yeah, even in 2018 I still gravitate towards stuff from that period, especially computers and games made at that time. Most of my peers have completely embraced the new technology, I have only to a limited degree.
One of my favorite things to do now that I’m a young adult is draw characters and things from my current interests (like ponies, EqG, anime, Halo, Warhammer 40K, etc.) in the style of how I drew when I was a child. It just feels timeless.
Glad you like Butterfly Ricky’s redesign. He really is quite the long-runner. Too bad most of my genuine old drawings of him are lost to time. The same is true for many of my early childhood drawings, which were lost when my family moved in 2001.

I’m not a child, I’m an adult. This is my recreating how I drew (and spelled) when I was five. I am amazed my work is that convincing to you!

All good guesses! He is actually a superhero I came up with when I was five called Butterfly Ricky (don’t ask me where I got that name,) who starred in several playground games and stories of mine back then.
He has since grown up (this is how I actually draw now):
