Here is how I made this character

I wanted to add more characters so LohummTi, Varrumah and Sana will have more clan members . I am thinking of a fox-like character like an arctic fox. I set the shape right away locking in those fluffy ears, whiskers and cute baby eyes

I am basically following the aesthetic of LohummTi in terms of colors, body shape and clothes

This is the flat render of the new baby character. These are the colors I chose for now. He has a bonnet a scarf but not the clan scary tsussut yet and some winter clothes.
