can u tell this was literally just supposed to be a sketch of narinder at the start ffs

(btw happy Ramadan and happy Ash Wednesday and start of Lent :DD)

this actually came from a doodle page where I was trying to sketch narinder some more (lamb then joined and decided he needed to be bullied), and also came to the conclusion I wanted to make him (at least slightly inspired by) a Cat Sìth- an evil cat Fairy found in the Highlands! they are inspired by the Kellas cat so that's why narinder has a triangle on his chest (also why his pyjamas are currently like that)

Cat Sìth essentially, may steal the souls of the recently departed if they aren't distracted, people would try to stop them from stealing a recently dead person's soul by playing games, singing and wrestling while keeping watch of the body- I thought this would be and interesting concept for narinder to be based off of. Cat sìth are actually responsible for many common myths about black cats like them having 9 lives! (while some believe Cat Sìth are Fair Folk, others believed them to be witches that could turn into cays 9 times and on the 9th stay as a cat - and are also responsible for theor prevalence in Halloween! (originally the pagan holiday of Samhain, people would leave offerings on Samhain of milk to Cat Sìth, because if they didn't it was said thier cows wouldn't produce milk for year :D)

Also decided that Nari got his crown really young, like oldest probably 12 - which explains the amount of eldritch nonsense he's able to do- I like to think some of the above would be applicable to trying to distract the (very young) God of Death - Lamb here's asking about some of the customs just to be a prick lmao- talking abt them I've been turning them around in my head like a microwave and may finally have a name for my lamb too so yippee! (every time I look at them though I'm like bro who ARE you why are you always different whenever I draw you?)
