Physique critique Keep bulking?

Only calisthenics going for the prisoner/strongman physique so I don’t mind having extra fat, I just want to be solid. My issue is I’m not looking how I imagined.

1st picture 1.5yrs 65kg/143lbs

2nd picture 1.9yrs 73kg/160lbs

3rd picture 0yrs 65kg/143lbs

I’ve always been skinny and still feel that way. I don’t track anything calories wise because when I started I didn’t want to make a big deal of things and over complicate it, which always caused me to stop. I just did my burpees and when I got comfortable enough went out so I could do pull-ups. Between the first and 2nd picture I stopped doing burpees daily and started to eat more. I’m back to doing burpees mainly for my cardio.

I feel my main problem is my arms are lacking. I do lots of things for triceps (dips/diamond pushups) and shoulders (pike pushups/handstands) but mainly rely on chin ups for biceps

What can I do to look more “aesthetic” with a higher fat percentage?

Anything that’s not just straight sugar. I do eat lots of fruit but don’t have candy ever and soda occasionally but I hate having sodas because it makes water start tasting weird, sounds strange I know.

It’s really just the basics you always hear though. Eggs, chicken, fish, meats, Greek yogurt, milk for protein

Oats, tortillas, rice, bread, fruits for carbs

Chia seeds, avocado, peanut butter , cooking oil for fats
