Description Sorry for the seeming re-post, but..
I wasn’t really happy with how Kalix’s hair was before, and I’ve finally been able to tweak it so that it looks more like how I imagine it to be (which was to be as feminine as possible, apparently); even though they were really tiny changes, like a few more hair strands and the bangs starting higher up, they make a huge different to me! Also here are some concepts for his mask and his mage circlet.

Kalix is one of my only villain characters. He's Valor's partner-in-crime and mostly prepares all of the fancy fireworks for their little escapades.

Name: Kalix

Age: Unknown

Height: 6' .5"

Occupation: Villain

Likes: 
+ Cold weather
+ Rain
+ Discovering new things
+ Kalix's favorite food is ground meat. He also enjoys pastries and cakes.

Dislikes:
- Cute things
- Hot weather
- Boredom

Background:

Kalix is (unknowingly) the illegitimate child of a queen; he was raised by a humble couple in a small village. Around the time of an outbreak of disease, Kalix developed a skin condition that caused his adopted parents and village to abandon him from fear and paranoia. He grew up in the streets and met Valor in his childhood. The two formed a strange but strong bond, and starting wreaking more and more havoc as they grew older. 

Personality: Kalix is another one of those kinds of characters who could be on either the "good" or "bad" side of things. He is indifferent to most things and sees his villainy as being happenstance as the thing he enjoys doing at the moment. This makes him come off as a cold person, even though he doesn't think he is. He is easily bored and spends a lot of his time lounging around the beaten-down castle that he and Valor live in, amusing himself with his illusions. When not in the castle, he seeks out entertainment from the towns and cities close-by, causing mischief. 

Notes:
- Kalix's illusion magic is so strong that they are often tangible and audible. But they are weak in the sense that it's usually easy to break or shatter them.
- Kalix is mostly show, as once you break through his illusions, he is pretty much defenseless and has to rely on Valor.
- When he is at war, he's usually seen riding a white horse.
- He mostly wears masks when outside of the castle grounds (when he's not spelled to look differently)
- He dislikes killing as he doesn't think it's necessary, but he will do it if ordered by Valor. He mostly likes to scare people.
- His hair is actually black, but is spelled to look white.
- If he had a dying quote (like in Fire Emblem) it would probably be: "We ... could have been...(friends)," because in a different situation, he could be a good guy. He actually really likes finding things out about people and would have more friends if he was a normal person and didn't enjoy scaring people to death so much. xD

Oi I like the update!
The contrast between the horrifying mask and his elegant and slim face is pretty cool, I like it. ALSO if haven't said this before, but I find his name super cool. :>
Oh and about art blocks! People often recommend doing some small challenges, to battle their art block, like, gender-bending their oc's or drawing them as younger/ older versions, or in general using different media to what you are used to in creating art. There are many of these challenges here on deviantart, tumblr or instagram. If you find the time or motivation, I bet, they could be interesting to work on - unfortunately, there is never one true solution to overcome it. But no matter what, you have to do what makes you feel comfortable again and of course you'll find your way. 
Anyways, I hope you are doing better soon! :>

Yay! Glad to hear that from you, Annika : D (or should I call you Anknips now? : O
Thank you! I'm glad you find his name cool. : D It's supposed to be spelled like "Calix," but my sister suggested a "K" instead, which is apparently a place in Sweden, haha
You're right, it would probably help to do these things to destroy the artblock--now I just have to be un-tired enough to do it, hehe. Thank you for all of the suggestions, and for your wishes I hope you are doing well!

You're welcome. :>
Hahahhaa, do as you like! Anknips is supposed to be a nickname of my name - my sister and I were jokingly searching for other nicknames than the ones that we are usually called, because they kinda bored us, and a legit website just.. suggested us the weirdest nicknames ever (If you try to translate it, Anknips would probably mean something like "to switch on" but as a noun?). Hahhah, oh my.

Oh cool! I like the version of "Kalix" with the "K" aswell - how would you pronounce it? I am curious, because if I had to pronounce "Calix" and "Kalix" I would probably make a difference in the pronunciation?
Ah nice - I didn't know about that before, that's quite an exotic name for a city, hahhaa.

Yes, I think so too! Take your time!!! :>
Yes, thank you a lot, I am well! I am quite anxious because right now, all the aptitude checks of the universities start and I have to participate soon, but anxiousness won't help, hahha.

Anknips sounds cute to me. xD

Not sure about Kalix, but I say it the same way as Calix, which I think is said like Kaylix or Cal (like California)-lix. I say it the latter way. I'm happy you asked! ^^

Of course being anxious doesn't help, but it's one of our coping mechanisms, haha. It's okay to be anxious sometimes. <3 I wish you luck with the universities!

Haha, I think so too! :>

Oh great, okay that's cool to know! Thanks for the help, I keep that in mind! :>

Oh my, indeed you're right. Yes, I guess so and it would probably be inappropriate if I didn't bother at all, hahaha, you're right!
Thank you!!!

Wow!! I love the mask design, and I love the changes you made to his hair! The clothing design is wonderful, loving the feather-like flare (I imagine they're feathers? If not I apologise XD ) around his shoulders, and as I look closer around his chest the patterns are so intricate - there is a lot of careful attention to detail. He's so beautiful, ahhh *O* 
Lovely work, I look forward to seeing more of Kalix, he's so cool!  

Kalix may be hot but I'm not cheating on Lysander, I swear X'D

Oh, thank you, Anna-Maria! c:  I'm glad that you like the changes!
And you know, I have no idea what those feather-like thingies are on his outfit, but yes, let's just call them feathers.
I hope to draw more of him, as I really want to sketch out more outfits for him.

Hahaha you're so silly :'D

AetasRazael134 In reply to PosyPrince [2017-04-30 21:15:45 +0000 UTC]

You're very welcome!  
I like to think of them as feathers, or perhaps some kind of flowing black silk. Would silk suit Kalix?  
I look forward to seeing his full outfit! And perhaps variations and iterations of his clothes  

XD

PosyPrince In reply to AetasRazael134 [2017-04-30 22:32:10 +0000 UTC]

You know, that's an interesting idea. Silk feather-y things. Yes, I think silk would suit Kalix, and it would be a lot easier no his skin than real feathers. Thanks for the idea *U*

AetasRazael134 In reply to PosyPrince [2017-04-30 22:42:03 +0000 UTC]

I think silk is very elegant, and I think it would suit his feminine character. It's a rather delicate material, reserved for only the finest *U* You're welcome!

i like how his mask has a mouth window so he doesnt have to smell his own breath all the time

PosyPrince In reply to abluecorridor [2017-04-29 14:52:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that's the main reason why there's a mouth window
I'm glad you understand : >

I didn't think he could get prettier, but. He got prettier. u-u Look at this bootiful man. Valor's definitely looking.    But it's so funny that even though Valor and Kalex are so close and have such potentially gay moments, they are like. The straightest if not asexual characters. And I actually don't ship them at all. XD 

MER Also I like the mask design. I especially like the color of it because it kind of reminds me of stone, like the statues in Japan. And his circlet. You got it to work! I wouldn't have thought to make it a dark color, but I think that works  better than if it was lighter. 

ouoo now I want to see the rest of his clothes.

PosyPrince In reply to CultishCookie [2017-04-29 15:00:32 +0000 UTC]

Valor is sooo funny because he likes pretty things. xD
Yeah I think they're probably the most asexual of our characters, even though Kalix has a weird liking for...things
I don't ship them either, it's actually a very strong friendship ship, so that's good :>

Oh! I actually didn't notice that about the mask, but now that you mention it, it kind of does look like those stone statues. That's cool, because I did want him to have an Asian influences. Thank you!! And yes, he doesn't look too much like a hippie now! : D
I made it dark to stand out in his white hair ^^

I'M SO SORRY I really need to draw him a full body reference, so that you can continue on your drawing. : ( I also want to draw Valor.
If I ever got around to drawing Kalix's full body, I'd want to design a lot of different flowy outfits for him :T
