Description Gotta download for full view
Chronos is the orange cat and Blast is the blue...thing.


Oh look, I did another ref sheet and this one was a bit of a pain. Why? It's two characters in one image.
I think it's pretty balanced, but tell me if not.
Sorry, all original art gets a water mark.

This guy was suppose to be a joke character from this comic I did awhile ago ( [link] ), but then he really grew on me since he does have more expression then my other cat, Cyrus.

-----
Mini- Bio *wonders who will read it...no one, right?

Chronos has many names: The Reaper, the Necromancer, and The Reanimater are his most know titles. This fits perfectly since that's what his skill is...raising the dead. He loves messing with corpses and loves to watch things die, except his friends. His weakness, past being small and weak, is that he holds what little friends he has very close to his non-beating heart.
His love for the dead was very strong, even when he was alive. Sadly, Chronos' life was taken by his skull getting crushed from a deadly fall which he did welcome.
Chronos is now a Guardian of the Darkness Elemental, Mah-Shak ([link] ) . His job for he is just to make sure souls of the dead don't cause chaos to the living. For that job it's obvious not a one-man job, he's just one of the many Soul Herders. These guys can see and be seen by both the living and the dead.
As of right now, Chronos is watching over the town of Theon due to a lot of deaths happening recently from a few...hey look! A Distraction!

Now on his personality, he's very positive and does like some fairness, but what's the fun without some chaos and plot twists? You can never be too sure on what he's thinking could be good or bad.

On his powers...not telling right now.
I'll stop there since I don't want to go too much into him. I will say he was made to be cheap, but there's much balance on him.


Now then, the blue guy Chronos rides on is Blast, which is a reanimated corpse. It was Chronos' first dead body he brought back to life, hence the obvious scars. At this point, Chronos can bring back the dead without them having the scars of what killed them. Chronos could have had better corpses to ride on, but he favors Blast since it was his first and he feels more attached to him.
Blast, being a corpse, has no soul anymore since it's passed on, so Chronos give him a part of his soul so he can do basic movement (Wonder if that's the attachment?). He cannot talk due to his throat being severely torn and plus, he has no true mind to think, much less speak.
He walks on all fours, but can walk on his hind legs.

------
There we go, the basic bio on Chronos and Blast. I can only say so much in fear of spoilers for when my webcomic does get going and for stealers.
I'm still working on my ref format, but I think doing a colored line art looks better with a colored sketch of the character.

Interesting character, I remember him from the comic, but I didn't know that he originally was meant to be a joke character, nice to see he got a life of his own.

Interesting back story, a necromancer that seems to have more of a personality, especially since he cares about what friends he has, I like that, though interesting that it's listed as a 'weakness'.

Great looking sheet, has a lot of nice details and info there.
And it's just me, but on the front view of Blast and Chronos, it looks like Blast is about ready to smack him, lol.

I always love your character designs. There's just a really lively quality to them and Chronos is no different. I really like the combination you chose for him. (Zombie-cat-lizard. XD) Plus I really like the design of his mount Blast.
You can't really tell that Chronos is dead since he's got this really nice quality about him that makes him seem really "alive". XD It's kind of ironic.
I like your character refs and how you design them. Very informative.

Nice distraction.

Well, despite the whole "death" thing, he seems quite charming and likable. Certainly one of the cutest zombie-cat-lizards I've ever seen. I especially love that look on his face when he has that axe in his head. I can just imagine him saying, "You'd be surprised how often that happens. Ow."

Believe it or not...i read his bio lol i like his design esp. the twists on his tail and hat heh although he's such a "tragic" character he still comes off to me as humurous lol, as far as Blast...well even for you, he doesn't have much going on with him does he? Hes a tiny bit of evil isn't he? (Chronos)

Chronos is suppose to be seen as humorous, but he knows when to be serious. Kinda think of Stein from Soul Eater.

There's nothing special about Blast at all. The main thing he's used for, if he's not a mount, is Chronos' attack body. *hopes no one else reads that* He puts his soul in Blast's body to fight and Blast is pretty powerful.

Awesome (and finally *shakes you*) I like his twisty hat and tail they match perfectly and creatively. I also like the layout.

He also has a cool personality as well. Can't wait to see more and one more thing cause It's been bothering me while I was reading this...
