So back when I was chatting with Shoto (vtuber/client), Ihsan was just doing his usual thing—hungry, luring prey into his lair, expecting another normal day
Except… it wasn’t ordinary because that day, the one who walked in was Shoto
They fought, obviously. But Ihsan was never a fighter. Even with his powerful regeneration, he couldn’t keep up with Shoto’s strength. In the end, Ihsan lost. He surrendered. Part of his horn was cut off and never grew back—and that fear locked itself into him so badly he almost never dares to return to his full demon form unless he has no choice
Honestly, he wasn’t a great hunter anyway. Most days, he survived on insects or small animals. Sometimes a human would stumble into his lair and if they weren’t trained, they were easy prey. But weirdly… lots of humans came on purpose. Almost like they were gambling with their lives, seeing if they could escape his vines. Even after 200 years, Ihsan still doesn’t understand why
Before Shoto, he had Dabir and Dalan (demons like him) The twins were way better fighters, but they let Ihsan use them however he liked. When Ihsan vanished from his lair after the fight, it left the twins with some heavy emotional damage (I’ll probably write more about them soon 👀)
(YEAH Dabir and Dalan were originally based on the children of cynonari I made a couple of years ago. I’ve brought them back but they aren’t related to Ihsan as siblings here)

As for me yeah I know I haven’t updated here much. I’ve been buried in two super intense commissions. I’ll share some process shots once I survive those
