He's a tabby. Also made his green eyes look a little more yellowy because he's a cat.

He looks a lot better in this design than his original. I wasn't happy with his first rendition.

Yes I gave him the same eye and mouth shape as Wally. Those traits came from the Whiskers side not the Darling side which is why Wally doesn't look like the rest of the Darlings.

basically the fountain was designed intentionally to be as ostentatious as possible while still looking like a fountain.

so for some backstory for this build:

The world was ravaged by war, and the previous government of this country was overthrown. This castle was built using the remains of the losing side's war dead, hence the skulls everywhere.

The pavers on top of the paths? In-game they're sandstone but I thought they looked like bone crosssections so I imagine them as the path being paved with the bones of the fallen enemies.

The new emperor, the Dragon King, is blind, so he let his family design their new home. All he demanded was for the castle to be built with the bones of their fallen enemies to serve as a warning to all who'd follow the path of his predecessors.

This took 9 hours plus terraforming.

if garmadon's an oni, and it's been shown that oni can shapeshift, can HE shapeshift and make himself look like his pre*-resurrection self?

and a step further, they even pronounced it wrong.

my name is chyenne. they spelled it cheynne. they pronounced it shane.

to start off with what's already been established, dusty was born from a dying flower on poisoned land at the site of the biggest racially motivated massacre in the state in the last century.

however, here's the thing about rainbow monsters: when a flower-born monster blooms, they're supposed to be "picked" within an hour. when a baby rainbow monster is "picked" they bond magically to whoever picked them. a baby rainbow monster can't survive without a bond, and it's seriously not recommended for them to go longer than an hour without one.

over the years since the briar's grove massacre, 33 rainbow monster babies have been born from the poisoned flowers. no one came for them, and they all died shortly after birth, both from the polluted environment and the lack of a bond.

it took wally 4 hours to find dusty. that's why, when he finally found dusty and picked him, dusty's flower immediately withered away. dusty would've died had wally taken longer to find him.

so combine the bond deprivation, the toxic environment, and the death-tainted negatively-charged magic in the area, and you have a dangerously sick baby fey.

on top of that, once bonded, a baby rainbow monster can't be too far from their parent for the first few months to first year of their life. maybe a range of 10-20 feet. dusty would start screaming if wally so much as set him down for 5 minutes. couldn't even set him down in a crib for the first few months without him crying. dusty couldn't even be left in another room until he was almost two.

another thing was that, because dusty was deprived of a bond for so long, wally had to actively feed him magic instead of just letting him absorb the ambient. the PROBLEM comes with wally's magic also being tainted with home's demonic essence, so obviously wally was scared of doing this until franny and bea talked him through it.

barnaby has a similar problem, but what makes it harder is that dusty isn't as strongly bound to him as he is wally.

also, notice how dusty's color scheme is a lot more muted than normal rainbow monsters? that's a birth defect. it's why wally named him dusty because his color scheme is washed out and "dusty" looking. plus his flower turned to dust as soon as wally picked him.

another condition dusty has is that he doesn't grow that much compared to other rainbow monsters. that's partially due to his health and partially because he bonded to wally of all people, whose growth was also stunted by medical neglect. remember, pre-feywood wally stopped growing when he was 10.
