been looking thru ur descendant fantrolls (theyre awesome btw! your characters are all so expressive & well put together!) & it looks like you typically combine their ancestors' last names, right? can i ask who the "tux" in civ's came from? :0 (would also love to hear more about him & elkhi in general! in particular i am so intrigued by the restraints lol)

Hello there anon and thank you so so much for this ask! You're my first official ask on this account!

It makes me so happy to see that Civ and Elkhi seem to resonate so well with people, not just because they're looking very similar to their ancestors Kuprum and Folkyl, but also because they're just super fun. I love drawing civ, he's srsly one of my fav ocs atm.

I work on the fantrolls with my friend rowes, and the combination of names usually comes together by combining the last names of the parents. For example Kalappa's last name is Vanmak, which is a mix of Vantas/Makara, since he's the kid of our characters Kenedy and Teddie.

CIv's name actually originally was Voqtux, since I originally did not intend for him to be Kuprum's descendant at all. He started out looking very different

Here's Civ's initial design

I wasn't sure about this design though, and my friend answered me with "looks good, but I imagined him thicker and with sideburns"

Which I first wasn't sure about since I usually picture golds as kinda skinny for some reason?? But I tried it and the result were these two doodles which ended up being his final design

Still not a Kuprum descendant, I just added that kinda recently when I realized he's very similar acting to Kuprum. So once that was a thing, I simply replaced the Voq in Voqtux with Max from Maxlol to add family line similarities to his name. I did not design 'another half' though, so in our AU Kuprum paired up with some unknown troll to do the anonymous genetic donation thing and Civ was the result.

Elkhi - who was designed by my friend - has no name similarities to Folkyl at all. Their full name is Elkari Khiane. So their nickname is a combination of first and last name. They have voidrot too, but not to the same extend as Folkyl had it, it's a progressing disease in Elkhi's case.

How Folkyl managed to create a descendant idk, considering she would likely get culled during the ordeals. "Let's just roll with it because it's fun" is my answer to that.

The RESTRAINTS THOUGH----

yeah, those will be explained in a future comic I hope to make at some point.

Let's just say Civ puts those on himself for... reasons.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE ASK, I love talking about my beans so keep them coming if you're interested.
