raziel's grandpa, pontiac, was the chief of his reserve, the one raz was born and grew up in :3c
he happened to look a lot like raz, which his grandma (adsila) is super fond of reminding him of lol; that's also the same bear claw necklace she passed down to raz when grandpa passed away from cancer :')

took inspiration from plains tribes, since centaurs historically hail from open plains (as opposed to their cousins the cervitaurs, who preferred woods, or evolved more adapted features for certain climates like emil's fluffy folk), and triiieedddd to be sensitive and careful, but if I've done anything questionable plz call me out |'D ran it past some folks already but always okey with takin more input on things like thisss
also the markings are all paint except the raziel-like eye and nose ones, and maybe the chin+lip cause I think they look rad

also I wanted to try the black and white with splash of red style again ever since I did emil's, it's so fun and striking! :𝔻
