This is the logo I'm working on rn. Critiques and suggestions are greatly encouraged!
and this image below is what he looks like. He's a superhero with powers based on cartoon logic. He can also draw almost anything to life with that big ol' pencil of his. His personality can be described as wacky, witty, silly and most importantly, he's deeply kind hearted and charitable

The idea for the logo is good. It should be a bit more consistent and thighter, in my opinion.
I fieddeled around a bit and this was the tweaked version I came up with.

I can tell you put a lot of thought into each of the letters, but it doesn't really work as a logo. It's very busy and will not read well on smaller print or screens, which removes your ability to use it on anything like a business card or as a watermark. Details like the character's face in the letter 'I' and the tooth(?) on the letter 'U' are already hard to see clearly on the screenshots you provided.
This is a situation where less is more, and I think you would be better off sticking to just the letter C. I would find a way to push the ears more so they aren't as small and look more like ears, and clean up the terminal (end point of the letter) as what you have currently almost looks like a G instead of a C.

This is unfortunately a step in the wrong direction. It makes your design even busier and reduces clarity between the forms of the letters. An outline can help make a logo stand out more, but in this case, I think your logo is solid enough without one.
I think a really good reference for what you are trying to do is the Sonic logo. It reduces the character to its most memorable features in a way that reads really clearly and works in a single color.
In summary, you have a good foundation with that first letter C, and I think you can push it further to emphasise the characteristics of your OC. Typography is a separate art from logo making, and I think you are trying to do two things at once that are at conflict with each other.

Thanks for the in depth feedback. Tho, I tried to make my logo look as fun looking as possible as a middle finger to the corporate minimalism going on in most media nowadays. 
This is what the logo looks like as of now as I'm typing this. Someone in a discord server suggested I add Creative's signature Stylee (pencil) as an exclamation point

I'm a huge fan of how fun the logo looks!!!!! If that's your intent, I'd say you did a pretty good job.
The one thing I'd change is to make the letter strokes a lot more consistent. As it stands, the widths of the strokes vary a lot which can kind of screw with legibility.
Here's my shot at tweaking the logo in MS Paint:
Most I did was just made the U in Cub smaller and thicker, among other strokes. I also just tweaked the kerning (space between letters) to be a little tighter!!!

This is frankly terrible. The black outlines end up making the logo look a lot more visually noisy in comparison to the original. Spaces between specific strokes of characters have been reduced (like the space between the lowercase e's) making it less legible. For whatever reason you also just decided to distort the characters' shapes.
I personally like to restrict the outlines to the outside edges of the logo only, and fill up any inside spots with the color of the outline.

I think the little details are kind of the point. The guy pretty clearly said the logo was made "as a middle finger to the corporate minimalism going on in most media nowadays". It kind of harkens back to a time when logos had a lot more detail going into them and weren't designed to work as an app icon and whatever.
Understandably it doesn't work when put on a business card or something, but again, not really the intent anyway. If it were, they would've made a logo that was a lot more clear and sanitized.
Hey OP, what kind of essence are you trying to achieve? A cartoonish or minimalist style? Please be clear when asking these kinds of questions, and be detailed so we can help you efficiently.
Did you make this with vectors or raster? If raster (think png) I would suggest using vectors (think illustrator but ibis paint has ability to as well) for infinite scaling. In fact, vectors are strongly recommended for logos for that reason.

More leaning on the cartoonish style

How do I turn it into a vector layer?

That, I wish I knew how because I do not use Ibis paint. But I wouldn't be surprised if vectorization existed. But i would suggest making a new vector layer and tracing over it from scratch, because converting raster->vector tends to be very hit or miss with the results.

Though, if you want to give it a shot, try the vectorization feature in inkscape which is free software, no price. You could try converting it to an svg and then importing that into Ibis Paint as a vector layer. Just a suggestion.

I'm not really gonna do that since nothing looks good traced
I'm just gonna brush all the vector mumbo jumbo aside and just try to wing it
Alright, here's what it looks like so far, any opinions? I'll make the solid orange version as an alt for certain occasions

Instead of it having an outline on top of an outline, I think it would look better with a blue-ish 50% opaque dropshadow 
What do you think?

I'd say that the new logo is a major improvement. It looks very good. Changing gradient, sighting that makes the letters look like 3D.
I like it.
Maybe you could get Asael Polanco to adapt your OC into a short?

Just checked them out. Their animation is really reminiscent of 90s cartoons and I love that. I'll keep this comment in mind
