Description
*gROSSLY SOBS OVER MY BOI*HE'S FINALLY DONE, MY SON IS DONE AAA-
I've been working on this ref for around two weeks now, and I tried a lot of new stuff in it. I combined shading styles that two of my friends taught me and highkey, I think this is how I'm going to shade stuff from now on. ;o; I'm so absolutely proud of how this came out.
Cronus is a Necromancer Aarakocra, reaching 5'5ft when hunched, and nearly 7 ft tall when standing at his full height (9ft with neck extended straight up). He is in his 90s, living far beyond the normal aarakocra lifespan of 50 years, as well as being freakishly taller than the normal 5ft. Both of these mutations stem from his exposure to the powers of necromancy.
He is well known through the lands as being a powerful and merciless necromancer, his castle filled with hoards of undead that wander the halls, performing various tasks. Many an adventurer has attempted to rid the world of him, and unfortunately, all that have opposed him have joined his army of death. However, those close to the old bird know him as loyal to those that are loyal to him, and that he does not attack unless provoked.
Cronus' spell book/Necronomicon is one he has constructed himself through the years, and is semi-sentient, powered by the eye of a sorcerer giant he had slain. He has a few enchantments on the book in case of it being stolen.
The Arcane focus around Cronus' neck that he uses to cast his spells is the skull of a much smaller Aarakocra, and seems to hold a great significance to him.

I discovered this character from unzipped-fiz's portrait of it, so I had to come look! I absolutely love his design! It's not the standard 'bird design' you usually see with anthro birds, great work!

That arcane focus could be the skull of a dead child of his, a sacrifice he might have had to have made to acquire such power and would explain the importance of it.
