Carlos' character is designed to be the silent type, the stoic guy, the emotional brick wall, etc. If you're saying he looks unhappy, that's literally why he looks like that, he's just meant to look like a big grumpy dude...most of Ben's inner dialogue when describing him is talking about his seemingly permanent, unchanging scowl he always has, but in the past, he looked like he was showing too much emotion when that isn't his character. Also, Ben is often found struggling with trying to figure out how Carlos feels, and it's usually only through his grunts or body language that Ben is even able to get a clue of that. And yeah I'm also sad that his overall physique changed, but some time is all it takes to get comfortable with it :)
Heya! I realize I've been missing out on a bit of conversation by not checking into itch.io for a while, haha.
I expected Carlos's sprite rework to be a bit controversial since he's pretty different from his original, and I understand why some of you are disappointed with the rework.
I tried to emphasize his grumpy, almost undecipherable expressions Ben complains a lot about, but in doing so, I realize expressions a lot of people liked ended up being "watered down", and there are other issues I've seen pointed out in the comments across itch.io.
I'll definitely look into them all, as I'd like to make new Carlos liked by everyone as much as I like him, hehe.
