This is Kolobok, a character from Russian fairy tales.
Basically, he is a round bread baked by an old lady and an old man. He escaped from them and went on an adventure. He met various animals on his way (hare, bear etc.) and left them too.
I just wanted to draw something cartoon-ish and nice. And now I'm thinking this:
Have you heard of anxious and escaping (or avoiding) type of person? I'm not sure about the term, but the essence is — a person might sabotage every relationship in their life and be the first to leave, because they are so afraid to be abandoned. I've come across an article (several months ago) where this type was gently called 'Kolobok' — because they just leave everyone, even if they are loved. I'm one of these people.🙋♀️ It's much easier to leave than to believe I can be loved and cared for.
So, now I'm thinking, maybe it's not a coincidence that I chose this character for a random drawing. 🤷♀️

re: kolobok " the little roll "
when koschei was a small child, the first chyerti he met was one who he called kolobok because at first all he saw was a round loaf coming down from the prince's larder to the slave's quarters. he thought it was his favorite bedtime story come to life, but it turned out to be his mother's domovoy, small and frail from their predicament, but still hefting stolen bread like a dung beetle for koschei and his brothers to eat. even so the name stuck, and the domovoy couldn't argue with a stubborn child, especially one who made an effort to feed him well thereafter.
with koschei being the last of his line, kolobok continued to follow him in every place he settled, wheeling his way through the steppe on the back of the round rolls koschei offered before his departures, to make sure he maintained his strength through the journey to his next home. eventually, he settled permanently in buyan, and in those deathless years, without new generations of kin feeding the bloodline, kolobok appears very old, is near senile and extremely grumpy. you'll find him still lording over the other domovoy, and vehemently fussing to maintain order in the castle, especially during large events, when koschei is away, or is set to arrive.

in that class [referenced in tags of prev post] earlier (it was a magic & religion class) we talked abt folklore! and like fairytales and stuff. but no like. folktales i actually find interesting…. Except!!! we talked abt folklore of the pine barrens (post european contact) (mostly the jersey devil. bc. we are in nj) and i just find that area so fascinating. and it was interesting to learn abt in an actual class and not just me doing research on my own.

Konstantin Avdeev's illustration for russian tale "Kolobok".
Kolobok is the main character of an East Slavic fairytale with the same name, represented as a small yellow spherical bread-like being. The story is often called "Little Round Bun" and sometimes "The Runaway Bun."

Actually, I like how creative Ukrainian fairytales are, but it's a pity that I'm not able to read all symbols that were there.

CW: Arachnaphobia?
I'm surprised no one drew Dealer as drunken, spoody (or kolobok-shnyuk) yet, because of CORE game lol. Ik this game is probably uncanon or something, but I still liked it.
Dealer evolved from it:
He's yellow cause, it's his actual color?
Also, inspiration dumping, cause yes:
