Redesign for Albustrix:
(Omg, I hate my old art.)

Hey, look! I'm not dead! ^-^

I can't believe I've had the concept for this guy for almost two years and I have yet to draw an official reference for him. It was a good thing because I didn't like the fact that he looked like Ceristrix, but with bigger hair. I wanted to make all the strixes look different, so I made him look extremely different from the others I have drawn. I wanted to make him look more like a forest creature, as that's where the story takes place and mostly the settings I'm going to be drawing him in. I haven't decided all of his personality yet, but he's going to be a lot more obsessed with himself and egotistical than his brother, Ceristrix, since that's how I seemed to write him in the backstory for Levi I made a few years back. Albustrix and his story are also meant to be more of an actual horror, so I drew him a lot more sinister than usual.Β (Unlike a grimdark fantasy like the Patches story/game and Ceristrix are. Those aren't really extreme like Levi, Albustrix, and his cult - more so than inspired by those creepy stop motion cartoons or a lighthearted horror like Gremlins.) So I hope this gives off that scarier impression! ^-^

I love his design, it's really cool tbh o3o the art style to go along with it matches perfectly as well. It feels very rugged, very organic and natural. I also like the color scheme, nice contrast with the reds and bluesΒ

Thank you! I wanted to make the character creepy, so I went with a creepy art style. I think adding the blue lights to his horns made him look more attention grabbing. ^-^/

It's a huge improvement over the last two years. It's actually kinda embarrassing how bad the anatomy is on the old version and how things bend how they shouldn't bend. (And don't get me started on how I drew boobs! OMG!)Β 

I like this version of Albustrix a lot more. He looks like a lot more of an antagonist than he did in the old version. His horns were my favorite to draw. I was going for a 'deer forest spirit' look. I actually just noticed that I forgot to add the blue moonstones that were supposed to be hanging down from his horns. I'm going to have to update with those when I decide I'm ready to draw today. But it's not a big deal. I'll be able to update with them soon. ^-^
