Description (this is an owl-dragon, club mods!)

A blanket of snow, stretching for miles across. Eternal night.
Two things stir; you, and her.


But she's found you.




Now there's just her.

Phase, my conceptual shapeshifting character with no real form.

Universal Laws of Phase:
- she has two forms; good/life, evil/death.
- she represents a contradiction.
- her evil form consists of dark, monochrome, and dull colors while her good form consists of bright, vibrant, light colors (or vice versa, but colors are separated in this way).
- she NEVER takes the same form twice!

My Perception of Phase:
- the contradiction I draw her as is as follows;
Her good, or life, forms are humanoid creatures (nymphs, mermaids, etc.) and her evil, or death, forms are animal-like creatures (mammals, fish, etc.)
Her good form kills those who have committed sin and her evil form kills those who are fearful and weak (and saving those who are in peril).
This portrays the inverse of the stereotypical world-context view that mother nature is good while humans are evil by highlighting the cruel, merciless, survival-of-the-fittest (killing fearful and weak creatures) parts of nature and the forgiving, unbiased, and justice-seeking (killing those who have committed sin) parts of human beings.

This does not mean that I promote the idea of humans being better than nature (or vice versa); rather, it is an exploration of an atypical view of the relationship between nature and man that I will express through Phase.
Phase also helps me in that she has no basic image structure for which to reference in order to draw her; I simply draw a new thing every time.
This also gives anyone who wishes to draw her their own artistic license of what she looks like (and makes her near impossible to copyright xD ), but the artist must follow the Universal Laws of drawing her. In this way, anyone can take inspiration from her idea and draw something similar without having to worry about copyright (though I would appreciate if you would credit me and say this is a form of Phase so I can collect the different artistic takes on her concept).

So yes.

Art, character, and concept (c) me to any extent that it can be.

done with photoshop creative suites 5.

(This particular image is of her in her evil/death form, and I was exploring creepy and spine-chilling settings with dark shadows, as well as a blurred, hard to directly concentrate on image. She is a barn owl/dragon/dark creature mix, as I find dark owls creepy; however, my mother loves owls and thought this drawing was the "sweetest thing" ;;
Maybe I need some blood...>> )

remember that it's the concept of a shapeshifter who represents a contradiction and is never seen in the same form that makes her mine, plus her name!

Whoa, I love I love I love <3 As soon as I saw it I felt an inward chill Looks great though! A piece that can provoke emotion or feeling of any sorts deserves praise I like the texture a lot! To see her in that form would scare the daylights out of me D:
I also adore the concept, as it's very well thought up. I like ideas that take up a more spiritual nature, if you know what I mean. Ideas that go into meanings, or values, or beliefs intrigue me. Great job!

Why thank you! That's great to know! I was aiming for creating a creepy atmosphere but apparently mothers are immune to such things .3. I know, if I saw any creature remotely threatening I'd turn and run derp. xD I always flight, never fight (unless cornered) ~<3
I try applying more profound ideas to my characters now. The internet already has randomly thought up chars, why not add a little spice, I say? >:3 And thank you very much once more ;w; <3

No problem at all! Haha, it varies for everyone Throw a little drop of blood in a picture and my dad accuses me of being mental I typically aww at the weirdest things too, so it's not that rareXD So would I. CHIHUAHUA. -flees- XD That's actually a good quote to live by x3
I respect that a lot Geez, I know what you mean. Every other character's a female with a kind, caring nature that's part of a pack, or is a human that goes to high school and has a crush on some other annoying characterXD I don't know, things get repetitive. My characters aren't nearly as well thought up as yours, but lately I've been trying to make them more original in any way I can find No problem ;u;

i love this. the concept and the art. it's a very deep and well thought up character. i really like the wings

i have the same problem. whenever i draw evil characters from books or my own stories, no matter how evil i try to make them look, they always look adorable to my mom.

Thank you very much! I have no idea what inspired it but inspired it was.

It's strange isn't it? D:> With the creepy shadows and the nails, and she's all "Aw I love owls, what a sweet creature you drew!" "...Mom, she's evil." "What, really?! Oh...I had no idea! Well, she's a very pretty evil thing. c: " "...thanks. xD"
Ah, mom, nothing's scary for you unless there's blood present. :I
