Character Reference: Me (2022)

Oh hey, it's the character reference I mentioned in this upload... Oh, guess that was on FurAffinity... Alright then, this is my updated character reference. And since I typed a lot on DA, I'll bring it over here: https://www.deviantart.com/chaotictempleknight/art/Character-Reference-Me-2022-923855187

Here is the true 2022 update for me, that I referenced here: Character Reference: Me (2021) 2 (color update) Yes, this reference is still valid. This one was just so I could show off how to portray my facial hair that I have not shaved because I am officially done with shaving my facial hair. Going forward, I'll just groom it... So what's the deal here? What's the story?

What to start off, this is just a general persona I am going to use. This is the default for how I am going to portray myself. The story is that I am just your standard Dullahan who has a pact with the demon Ornias... WAHT? So the Dullahan thing is something I feel in love with as it turns out my family has a good amount of Irish in our ancestry. Here are some details from this upload: A Dullahan and a Golem As my Floralia leans heavily into the Dullahan stuf

This is based on the fact that my family has a lot of Irish in it. There is also some Scottish, some French, and some British, but primarily Irish. How do I know? My parents have been doing DNA tests in recent times. Story wise I am a Dullahan due to a pseudo curse that occasionally pops up in bloodlines with a good amount of Irish in our ancestry. Here are some details from this upload: A Dullahan and a Golem As my Floralia leans heavily into the Dullahan stuff:

- My head pops off... As long as I hold onto my head, I am in control of my body. If I get separated from my body, my body will go looking for me.

- The ability to open any lock seems to work on and off for me. It is also unclear if I can end someone by speaking their name

- The smoke changes color based on my mood. Purple is the default since it is my favorite color.

- I can relieve my mood by taking my head off for a moment. This is followed by a plume of smoke coming out of my neck

- Yes, my head can pop off when I become startled. Fortunately my head has a protective, inherent spell that basically acts like a protective bubble.

- The suit is a manifestation of my essence that can protect me to a limited degree and act as clothing in case I need it. It also may or may not be appearing in GTALT's continuation.

That last bullet point really should say reboot rather than continuation. And that Reboot is HYPERDEATH Alternate in case you're wondering.

So okay, we got the Dullahan stuff, but what of Ornias? Well here you go: Character Reference: Ornias (2021) Now that you're all caught up on Ornias, what's up with the suit and the Necromancy? Well from what I have learned from my Occult books, Necromancy is communion with Spirits rather than the pop culture interpretation of an army of skeletons. You are talking with entities that are considered dead, hence the "necro" part. Personally I consider this true magic, but I realize that is indeed a bit subjective. You summon a demon, ask them to help you, and there you go. Now the suit: it is a suit Ornias procured from a group of incubi in Hell. The suit is magic and even alive to a degree. It can turn into whatever you want. This can range from catsuits, gimpsuits, body bags, vacbeds, inflatable suits, etc. As long you can wear it or be sealed inside it, the suit can turn into said things.

Originally the suit was supposed to be Dullahan magic... but I nixed that. Also I want that kind of gimpsuit in real life... Yes, they do exist.

So yeah, I tried some new techniques this time with the coloring. You can see that with the beard and also the beard and general. Look! I figured out how to draw it without scribbling with the pencil! You can thank EverythingUnderWraps for that as we did an art trade and the way he drew me elucidated me on how to draw facial hair... good lord I need to finish my drawing for him. The lineart is done, I just got to color it. Anyways, this time I decided not to be a shitter and use different colors for the shine. Those shine details aren't layers at different opacities this time... well the hair and eye shine still is, but details details. Tell me what you think of how I did. I thin this turned out pretty good. Also I swear to god this color scheme is making me look like a Hyperdimension Neptunia character...

And yes, that is my official purple. If you want to draw my in latex, corrupted, or whatever; that's my official color. Combine it with black if you want really want to win me over... Feel free to draw me in whatever, just keep it legal and link back to me. If you want or need more lore, just let me know.
