🎨Illustrator:DOG

~Basic Information~

• Race：Wolf-Dragon Hybrid
  Gender：male
  Age and appearance：Around 15 years old
  

• Personality traits

  ● Slow to warm up but extremely clingy: shy at first, but once familiar, will lean its whole body against you and sit by your feet
  ● When he’s quiet, he secretly watches his older brother; when he’s noticed, he shyly turns his head away
  ● He is especially sensitive to being trusted; once he feels it, he becomes utterly devoted
  ● He has a somewhat clumsy sense of protectiveness—for example, wanting to help his older brother but often making things worse instead.

• Background Concept

  ● His background isn’t particularly complicated; most of his personality comes from everyday life and the environment he grew up in
  ● His interactions with his older brother are the most important source of support and sense of security in his life
  

• The nature of his relationship with YuKai

  ● Ethnically, he’s more of the ‘protected’ side, but not entirely passive
  ● He likes to help YuKai tidy up things or simply sit quietly nearby
  ● When YuKai is feeling down, Tinu instinctively draws close, offering companionship as a form of comfort

~Postscript~

There’s this Tinu character oc, part of it is because I really want to commission a duo illustration (oops)
So many artists’ duo illustrations look so amazing, I really want to commission one. Taking the chance to confess(?)
~~~~~~~~~~
So, how was the Tinu character concept thought up?
Basically, it’s inspired by my childhood, a sort of third-person perspective where my soul leaves my body to look at my past self
If I could travel back in time and interact with my younger self, what kind of reaction would I get?
If you take a serious look at my main oc, YuKai represents my external self
while Tinu represents my inner, childhood self— or maybe my vulnerable side, I guess~
I feel like the more I look at this oc, the more adorable it becomes. I want to make it into a full character design, what should I do?
