Felt like drawing Tristan (and his dear, sweet River) again! I took one look at an old picture of him, thought the phrase "Yoga Doggo," and my hand moved on its own =w=
Small design update; the idea of him just constantly winking/deliberately keeping one eye shut felt more and more stupid the more I thought about it, so now his eye's… well, it's gone. As in, "surgically removed" gone. Been gone since his Riolu days, and he's long since adapted to it.
As for why it's gone, it's because of glaucoma; his eye didn't respond to any treatment and was causing him so much pain that removal became necessary.
He isn't bothered by the loss of his eye, instead what does bother him is the wave of discomfort he sometimes senses from strangers when they see his face. He knows they (usually) don't mean any ill will, but...
Well, being an empath isn't all sunshine and rainbows, after all.
