muuuuchhh overdue revamp for one of my dearest lads UwU

was in the works for a long time so it felt good to spend a week finally sitting down to hammer the rest all out in time for artfight!

took a little longer than some not only because he's a bit more complex, but also required more research to ensure I'm picking things that make sense and don't step on any toesies, haha
(always try to be respectful of course but am not native myself, so if anyone has feedback, I'm all ears ♥)

among all the general improvements, patch notes include:

• more clothing and hair options because he is always changing those up (including a borrowed david tennant suit cause he wears such fun ones. might do more in the future)

• a lot more beads to properly draw inspiration from cree/sioux/ojibwe art

• expanded back tattoo to incorporate this standing rock one

• the pale hooves were actually a happy accident when I was filling in his snoot and stuff, makes sense that he actually just spends time buffing/polishing/painting to make 'em shiny and black

• looked far and wide to determine if his arm and neck tats could lean more into actual patterns but couldn't find anything from a plains tribe so instead acknowledge that not everything has to have a meaning haha, he can just wear patterns that compliment the natural ones around his eyes

• also his kitty looks much better :3c
