Hey Fluff, if you don't mind me asking, I noticed that all of your "Guards of Meria" had a nose horn, and almost all of them had a circled tail/swirl marking on their tail. What was the inspiration behind that? And, if you don't mind me asking bluntly, was it at least somewhat inspired by "them"?

if you mean "them" as [closed species], then yes actually!

-----

the very early concept was kenny has always been a bit of a eyesore to them cause he was different

which has been scrapped cause of all the shit that went down and i don't want to involve them in my lore, so the current reason they all have nose horns/pointy noses is cause they're a far descendants species of the ancient sea serphent

plus, i just REALLY like adding swirls to my designs 😈
