AAAnd here is my attempt to color Aki! I liked the way the flat colors came out so I included it on this page (specifically for referencing later) ~ I used a fairly interesting flat color technique I saw that involved initially putting all colors on one layer and then splitting it out and cleaning it up, which ended up being very relaxing.

His horns are made out of xaidrion , but of the more smoky colored variety. Since he is half magic he is completely unbothered by it. Horns were fairly common in ancient sions but not with modern ones - the main difference actually being that modern sions are basically a cryptid and try to blend in with human/shifter society, whereas ancients were not, they were clearly their own defined people.

Another fun fact about Aki himself...while ancients could learn any type of magic they wanted to put their minds to, their individual kingdoms have Specialties, usually a primary and a secondary. Aki's kingdom primarily specializes in Wind magic, with a secondary in Time. Aki uses his wind magic far more than time, but mostly because would prefer not to make too many impressions with it - it's powerful but also difficult to learn and very dangerous. (One of those things that require a healthy level of respect before you even consider using it.) When he does use it its mostly for scrying and other mystical-leaning uses, and preserving or repairing stuff in secret.
