It is indeed a reimagining of Tristian, based on the original mascot concept you proposed back in 2021.
I have been experimenting with a new visual interpretation of the character while keeping the connection with the original concept and with TDE. So credit where credit is due: the original Tristian concept is yours; this is my reinterpretation of it. 🙂
I also remembered Tristan exactly, and just as I really liked the original design, I really like this updated version. Very nicely done. That made my day better. Thank you!
Which brings up the question that came to my mind earlier today when I saw the wallpaper: should we adopt it as the new official TDE mascot? Back in 2021 I didn't really fancy the name, but somehow I don't mind if we name it Tristian...
