#chitto

.

explaination for the second pic: i had a headcanon that everyone was so overprotective of kenai because not only he was the baby of the family, but because during her third trimester, his mother had complications with her pregnancy, which caused her to get very ill; and during labor she and him almost died. but she managed to pull through and was okay in the end :] tho she needed to stay on bed rest for a few weeks afterwards.

when Chitto found out the baby and Aquena were okay, he SOBBED, relieved his wife and newborn son were okay. see although Chitto was a very huge, intimidating tuff guy, he was a big softy and a crybaby sometimes (he cried when proposing to Aquena, during their wedding, their other sons birth, etc. he was an emotional fella lol)

anywho, kenai was overall a healthy, fat baby :] he was also a very vocal baby, always screaming for milk or for someone to carry him lol. he's also 6 months old in the first drawing! :]

...

these take place a year before they passed, and yes i still haven't figured out what from yet; in fact i still to work on their lore, but i WILL get it done tho just give me time. (here's my previous post where i gave them some details in case you haven't seen it :D)

for the first drawing, i had the idea that because of his age, Kenai was never really able to go hunting or practice using a spear with his dad and brothers; so this led to him being with Aquena all the time, helping her with chores or just being around her in general, which made them have a very close and special bond :]

for the second drawing, it's just plain and simple, Chitto teaching Sitka how to use a spear, with Denahi whining in the corner wanting to go home lol. also ik Chitto's beard looks sightly different, i'm just trying to experiment with new looks

+ side note i really like the idea that Sitka used to wear his hair completely down when he was younger and it was very long, but then when his parent's passed, he cut it short due to grief; but then as he got older and it grew more, he started wearing it the same hairstyle as Chitto to honor him :']

and then as for the brother's age's here, Kenai is 5, Denahi is 9, and Sitka is 16 :)
