Cú Chulainn, hound of Ulster. Had to do the dog trend with the guy called dog...

This is very niche but it fitted him so well I had to do it

Context: this is Cú Chulainn, character from medieval irish literature about a mythological past of warriors and "gods" and magic and giants and all that stuff. His name literally means "hound of Culann" because when he was a kid (and called Sétanta), he slayed Culann the blacksmith's guard dog and gave him his word to act as it's substitute until the dog's pups were old enough to do so. Hence, Cú (dog) Chulainn (of Culann)

Also fun fact! When first I started drawing this characters I had little context so for the dog I looked for irish cattle dog breeds and got the irish wolfhound, but then I read the actual text and it turns out it was actually a spanish mastiff!
