So many new characters-

Welp! First post of 2020 will be of Zagan- the villain in my new world im creating that centers around a mix of olden styled buildings and cyberpunk themes with people having the genetic ability to shift into monsters! As horrid as this guy is i love him so much, especially his monster design with no lower jaw. His whole "theme" or "aesthetic" i will mainly draw him in is with horror and blood because that's what he is!


I still have so many refs to make for characters ive never even mentioned on here, and thinking about it makes me realise just how many characters I have, and especially since I now have this whole other world, I'm probably gonna have even more. Dear lord save me-

Also sorry if I become suddenly inactive one day! Since I live in Australia where the whole damned country is on fire, it may suddenly appear near me since it is only the start of summer, and the fires are showing no sign of getting any better, so just a fair warning!

These ref sheets of yours keep getting bigger and bigger!
My computer almost crashed trying to load it. XD

First things first before talking about the actual drawing, I hope you're doing okay! I heard the fire is pretty rough over there, I hope it can be stopped soon. Stay safe Ludox. ^^

Now, onto the character.

----------

I'd love it if he was just doing a signature to screw with people and it has no real meaning at all.
So when someone finally calls him out on his crap he's just "Hey, hey! You got me!" It'd be great. XD
Though I suspect that probably isn't the case.
I quite love the concept for this world, I'm a huge creature fan, obviously. And I love things with gimmicks of there being special people among society. Always a fun one to play around with.
Time for some questions.

How rare is it to get monster genetics? Is it relatively common, rare, or is it a 1-10000000000000 that you got it?
Is the gene a secret thing, where the world isn't aware of the existence of the gene, or is the world as a whole mostly or fully aware of it?
if they are aware of it, how does the world handle this knowledge? Any laws or martial regulation on people with the genetic power?
Does this take place on earth? Or some other planet (or universe) entirely?
Are there any naturally occurring monsters? Ones that aren't and never were a human and simply are a monster.
Does Zagan like/tolerate cheesecake? Or is he not about that tasty-pastry kind of life?
Can monster powers in general be overused? Is there a time extent they can actually be one? Do they ever need to recharge? Can they suffer enough damage that would force them out of it?
Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, can they get stuck being a monster And never have the ability to change back into a human?

I have more but I'll just ask these ones for the time being, and yes the cheesecake one is essential it's perhaps the most important question I asked in my opinion.

Over all this guy is pretty great, I really like his human design. Jackets and coats are some of my favorite attire, 
Great work Ludox!

Ah yes i have a horrible habit where instead of making parts smaller in the ref, i just increase the canvas size pft-

And yes im doing well! There is a smoke cloud throughout where I live so it's rough to breathe and see outside but other than that, everything is well!

That would basically be him honestly haha

- The monster genetics aren't rare at all, it's about as common as having black hair. So in some areas it's more common than others, but it can be found everywhere. It's a gene that travels in basically everyone, and just has a chance of appearing, so I guess a recessive gene? But everyone has it? So if the parents both have the recessive gene it's practically certain the child will have the ability as well.
- The gene is well known and adapted to society, since laws have been made regarding how the use of one's monster form to put others in danger is against the law and serious charges could be made. This has also spawned the underground fighting league which is 100% illegal but still conducted, and in this, people use to fight just like boxers with punching and kicking, but it evolved into using teeth and claws and ripping at one another until one or both are almost dead. People nowadays use their monster forms for daily tasks such as getting to work or using it in emergency forces like the army, police, and etc (since clothing isnt damaged/ripped as a monster since the monster form basically goes around the person in a sense, even though the damage done to the monster also happens on the person).
- For now It takes place on earth, just some complete alternative universe sorta thing pft
- In a sense, I mean the monsters will always start as humans since that is how they occur, but some people completely throw away their human sides and live as an animal and monster, either causing havoc in cities or simply leaving and living life in the wild since their senses are like those of an animal, increased, so they will have no problem.
- He does like it once in a while, a good sweet is very nice to have, but he does enjoy savory foods more haha
- The powers are limited to a person's capabilities and training. For example, a normal person who has the monster type of strength (there are two types, agility and strength. Agility types can manipulate their bodies, while strength types have the ability to use elements such as fire, water, and even blood or rock) that has had no training to use their element of fire, can easily burn themselves as they havent properly controlled it, but even then those who have the monster type of strength have some laws against overusing their powers in a public setting because it can be a risk to others. But, comparing them to a person who does the underground fighting and has constant training, they can handle and do much more, but for both agility and strength types, using their powers excessively can cause permanent damage such as loosing limbs, distorting their bodies, and etc.
- A monster can always have the ability to change back to human, but a human may not always be able to change to their monster form. Since some sort of drug/injection has been created/is in the works of being created to remove people's monster forms of those who use it incorrectly, and this is mostly seen with those who participate in underground fighting. Rarely, the cops will crash the party or discover someone has been participating in the fights, and take them in, and depending on how long theyve been doing it, they can be injected so they can never turn back into the monster, so basically that gene is cutout/blocked.

Thank you so much, Shroom! And of course, cheesecake is very important
