I fell off the wagon of reposting my old(er) art here so have this dude. Its very fun, I need to draw it more. (and plan to do so hehe)

List of inspirations, both fictional and "real world":
-Hssiss, Sith, Derriphan, Zildrogg(sorta) (Star Wars/SWTOR)
Tokoloshe (Zulu/South African folklore)
Grootslang (Afrikaans/South African folklore)
Banshee (Irish folklore)
Charon/the Ferryman (Greek folklore)
Mimics (D&D)
Death/the Grim reaper in general. Also I was channelling "Eldritch horror God-monster entity" vibes when concepting him and I feel like y'all should know that XD

Chirikyât (High Sith for "he who causes them to throb and tremble in fear"), my headcanon of one of the (Old) Sith Gods (alongside Zildrogg and others that I have not yet designed). Also known as the Mtiyi'ari ("dragon lord") and Wiszaji-akûti (the "All-Seeing Eye"). He's the Patron God of House Ahaszaai, may or may not be a Derriphan (he won't admit to it if asked hehe :3) and quite literally the God That Will Not Let The Twins Die aka their "plot armour" of sorts (because I decided to do "God won't let me die" but make it funny, and I'm having the time of my fucking life with it /gen LOL)

He has long-standing and very personal beef with Zildrogg from Zakuul. And no he will NOT get over it *wink wink nudge nudge that's a plot point* Talks to Saarai more often than Ni'kasi because Saarai is Psychometric and its currently stuck in a dusty ass tomb on Korriban but y'know, maybe one day the twins will have to dig him outta that ground *wink wink nudge nudge 2.0*

He can be drawn with any number of "floating" eyes but should always have at *least* 5-8 showing (including the 4 on its face!). I like to draw it with one eye above its forehead and 3 underneath its chin, I just think that design slaps, but you can add more eyes if you want and they don't have to be a specific placement/size (only the 4 actually in its face need to stay in the same area). Uhhh I think that's everything I wrote on the actual sheet itself? If you're curious he does have a Toyhou.se page here that you can check out: https://toyhou.se/15822156.chiriky-t :blobcatrave:​ or feel free to ask questions if you have 'em and I will try to answer them.

I LOVE this guy. Like a Lot. He is skrunkle. Can't wait to draw more of him and the twins and their mom now that I have a drawing tablet (once I get owed art stuff outta the way hehe)
