Description
If you're drawing Basilisk, please keep his head/horn shape/big frill consistent! It's made to look slightly similar to the water basilisk head/crest, which is one of his main defining features.---------------
Here's an OC of mine which I've had an idea about for a while, but haven't gotten a chance to actually design him until now. I'm fairly happy how he came out. Most importantly, he has butt freckles. His design is based on (fairly obviously) the green basilisk lizard, which he is also named after, although HE would say he was named after the legendary reptilian monster.
Basilisk was made to be an "anti-hero" if you will - most of my characters are heroic in one way or another, but Basilisk is essentially the opposite of heroic. He generally sits around in the rainforest all day and gorges himself on fruit, Mountain Dew and Doritos. He loves cheerleadering on for heroic characters and following them around and pestering them, but is lazy and won't often lift a finger to do anything to help. He thinks his advice is helpful, but it is usually not. However, he is good natured, usually up for some fun, and very chill, which keeps him in others' (relatively) good graces. This is the kind of guy who would take his video game waifus very seriously, if such a thing existed in Pyrrhia.
Basilisk has an abundance of freckles because (a) the water basilisk has freckle like markings and (b) he added them because he heard the hero of the past, Qibli, had many freckles, and thought it would be "rad" to emulate him.
He is primarily a RainWing and has all normal RainWing abilities. Basilisk has some late (perhaps 1/8 or 1/16) SeaWing ancestry, thus the webbed spines. However, he has no glowing scales, can't breathe underwater, certainly does not have above average swimming technique. Despite this, his darkvision is slightly better than average, but he's usually snoozing at night and not using it. He claims he can walk on water if he "tries hard" but "can't be bothered."
He and my OC Kraken (Wings of Fire - Kraken Reference ) are most likely friends, partially because they both have monsterous names and partially because Basilisk probably enjoys cheering on Kraken in her heroics and throwing cheetos at her. He has copied her eye color (a brilliant, flaming orange-amber-gold), much to her extreme disgruntlement. Finally, Basilisk is around 8-9 years old, probably 18-20 in human years.

Basilisk is MY OC! Do not use this picture, design or his character for your own use! (If you are interested in using this picture for anything, please ask me first!!)

I LOVE his design SO much!
The greens and yellow make his design so awesome and amazing! He reminds me of a cucumber :3

I always thought a half rainwing half icewing would look weird and different. have you drawn one yet, or do you want to draw it?

I'm not sure if I've design that particular cross yet! I know others have drawn it before though.

I like the design. Are you going to write a story about your characters?

mmmm I roleplay with my characters, but I'm not very good at writing traditional stories!

Sounds cool. Could you draw a 1/2 seawing 1/2 leafwing character? That would be llamatastic.

Oooh that would be a good idea for an adopt! Maybe I'll do that in the future!

OH DANG!
His design is amazing! The dark greens matched with the lighter hues work so well together! The gold on his horns also adds a wonderful amount of brightness to his appearance!
The freckles look wonderful, and I love the fact that he stole Kraken's eye color XD I could definitely see her being quite annoyed at that fact!

Thanks!! Though I do worry about this design being so complicated that people wouldn't want to draw it, haha...
Yeah Kraken is probably one of my most heroic characters, so it would make sense that Basilisk would follow her around, throw goldfish crackers at her and do little things to annoy her like copying her eye color XD

Thank you!!! Yeah, I made his personality to be a foil to my other characters, who are actually competent unlike Bas here. Also, I apologize it took so long for me to get back to you but of course you can do backup for the I'll Be Good MAP <3

Yeah, he's a good character. Also, thanks a lot for letting me be a backup.

Beautiful OC! I love how you based him off the basilisk lizard. I have a couple OCs based on animals as well- I thought I was alone, haha!

Biohazardia In reply to River-Flight [2018-04-06 13:36:47 +0000 UTC]
I personally think basing OCs or creatures off of real life animals is a great strategy, that way you can use references of said animals to help with your work instead of grasping at straws and palettes by yourself XD Thanks!

River-Flight In reply to Biohazardia [2018-04-06 18:13:45 +0000 UTC]
Yeah. Tbh designing an OC is one of the hardest parts for me (the other being backstory of course), so sometimes it really helps to just base it off a real animal XD

I hope you draw him running on water like his real life counter part

Thank you Deer! That would be funny, but he probably can't actually walk on water, just SAYS he can because "it's cool!" XD XD Still, it would definitely be a fun picture to draw, especially because basilisk lizards look so gosh darn silly when running
