Description EDIT - Updated with a newer, better version. Changed a few things design wise. Still a pretty crappy looking reference, but I couldn't get myself to draw him more. I need to make something with a backgroooooundddddd!

I've wanted to have a Wendigo for a long time. While at first I wanted to resurrect an old character of mine, I got this design stuck in my head and jhasjdfhfkd I had to create this guy.
Still working on this character, but I had to doodle out something quick so that I don't forget how he looks :I


Name - Kota
Nicknames - Vulturem, Plague Doctor
Gender - Male
Age - 28 human years
Specie - Demon/Wendigo
Gemstone - Tiger's Eye
Aura - Red
Height - Around 187 cm

Personality
Vulturem is considered to be a loner. He doesn't like interacting with "normal" people and finds himself at ease around other demons, monsters, outcasts and animals. He hardly ever lies and prefers avoiding conversations that might lead to troubles and the likes.
He has a rather short fuse and a few anger issues. It's easy for him to have random anger outbursts in which he just starts swearing, yelling, and screeching as well.
Bad behavior aside, he's a caring demon who does his best to help those in need and treats everyone equally. He respects demons that are stronger or weaker than him all the same.
He's also very fond of magic and technology, and loves knowledge. He spends a lot of time studying and reading books that he steals or finds. He does not brag about his knowledge though, as he still considers himself to be ignorant compared to other creatures.

Trivia
- Vulturem's mask doesn't detach. It's actually his face. The mask opens revealing a set of shark-like teeth. The lenses on the mask are his eyes. He has no eyelids, so he has to cover his mask with something if he wants to sleep.
- He can unfold his wings when needed. He usually keeps them hidden though. They're too small to fly, so he uses them to glide or give himself a strong push for jumping higher.
- He's based off a bearded vulture / lammergeier.
- He serves as a doctor for every creature that might ever need his help. He doesn't want to get paid for his work by demons or animals though.
- He feeds on human and animal carcasses.
- His lifespan is of 1500 human years. After his death, he burns alive and respawns from the cinders as a new being, kinda like a phoenix.
- He will not respawn if he's killed by someone. The things that can kill him are poisoned arrows and light/sacred magic.

Lmao my mom doesn't like me drawing these voodoo-like characters. She likes my abstract and lively art more -w-

lol I can see Rox going up to him with a mask she made to look like his face holding it up over her mask and Vulturem looking at her like '...'

Pffft, Vulturem would probably screech at her for copying his mask xD

Rox is just a little troll she wouldn't be able to use it anyway, Mazked can't use a mask that's already been created (which prevents theft/copy cats of masks from movies or props or something and also promotes creativity!)

I really wanted him to have some sort of voodoo or magical feeling. I guess I managed to do it right

I love his face; it's so cool! The extra set of arms(?) kinda' creep me out though. >_<

pandalecko In reply to whiskeyii [2012-07-08 20:30:56 +0000 UTC]

Extra set of arms was kinda created to be creepy. He's not supposed to be a character that's easy to approach or really pleasing to the eyes xD
Thank you!

L'intento era quello di farlo assomigliare a una creatura connessa al voodoo ;D

PatiLee [2012-07-08 15:01:59 +0000 UTC]

I really like characters with vodo-like theme. And this one is so cool. Your wendigo concept is totally different from mine.

pandalecko In reply to PatiLee [2012-07-08 15:14:20 +0000 UTC]

I love voodoo-themed characters as well, and I really needed someone with a plague-doctor mask in my set of characters xD

Haha, yeah. But at least they're both different from the original myth.
Hm, forgot to change a thing in the ref. Pffft.

Hell yes bearded vultures <33333333
Here we call them Quebrantahuesos (bonebreakers)

I love the mask thing, and the concept!
Are those his actual eyes? ouo

pandalecko In reply to Irialda [2012-07-08 14:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Bearded vultures are my favorite animal sjshj.
We call them "Avvoltoio barbuto" which is literally bearded vulture xD;;

I needed a character with a plague doctor-like mask jdf. ;;
Hmm... pretty much yes. Being his mask his real face I wouldn't seem why those shouldn't be his eyes. xD
Considering he can't close them, to sleep he'd have to cover them with something.

Irialda In reply to pandalecko [2012-07-08 15:04:00 +0000 UTC]

Mine too ;o; <3
"Avvoltoio" is vulture I guess?
We also got a more literal translation which would be "buitre barbudo". xD

Plague doctor masks are hella cool. ;u;
Oh, so I assume he has no eyelids? ouo

pandalecko In reply to Irialda [2012-07-08 15:17:31 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's the word we use for vultures.
Buitre barbudo makes an excellent translation

Yep, he has no eyelids. It's pretty annoying for him xD

Irialda In reply to pandalecko [2012-07-08 15:40:26 +0000 UTC]

It was really a sketch and nothing else, I didn't even bother cleaning the sketch up. Which is rare for me .-.
Thank you xD guidelines are life savers for the skeleton.

What a interesting character concept He sure looked fun to draw. If you want a certain oc type then you have it. I'm thinking of having a third tamakii.

pandalecko In reply to FlyingGuardianFish [2012-07-08 13:56:15 +0000 UTC]

He was certainly fun to draw out! All those warm colours and his mask were a blast <3
Oh, a third Tamakii? owo

FlyingGuardianFish In reply to pandalecko [2012-07-08 14:00:37 +0000 UTC]

nice, well I shall keep my eyes open when you draw him some more.

Yup, been thinking about making a third one, possible a male. Blue and Neazo are so fun to draw and besides a third tamakii will means that I can submit more to the club and be less bored of drawing the same ocs.
