Sorry for being away for long. But I return with drawings of Pinocchio’s older brother Cricket. Cricket and Pinocchio were the only ones to survive after their parents and Pinicchio’s sisters died of starvation.
Cricket was scared of losing his brother and decided the only way to save him was to get him a new home. He covered himself in ash to hide his fluff color (lilac purple and deep purple) so Pinocchio had a higher chance of adoption.
Cricket didn’t want to be adopted because he could tell he was dying, so he wanted to make sure his brother was safe before he finds a place to quietly pass away.
Also, I was too lazy to completely color so I just used swirls and squiggles on him
