Hello there! First Time in Art War and I'm so exited! I'll be working on a "dark" side character, so let's begin! :smile: I will be working around the idea of a cursed Scarecrow.

Side: DARK
Name: Tristan, The Guardian of the Lost Souls
Story: Cursed by the "Touch of the Reaper", Tristan found himself without memories of his past, just little glimpses of his human former-self.
Wherever he roams his companions are sure to follow; white crows or "lost souls" as he calls them.
His reason to fight is to remain "alive" (if you can call it that way) and protect the white crows, weaker souls that had no chance to find peace, and no chance to become stronger beings either. Maybe one day he'll find a way to release them from the curse, until then he'll be their guardian.

"Once the Reaper asked: - Why would you keep these weak souls with you? -
- Why not, master? They are just like me ... Lost souls- The Guardian replied. -"

CHARACTER CONCEPT PROCESS:

PD: I'll be uploading here all the process for the Character itself :smile: . And, I apologise in advance because english is not my first language soo.. If there's any mistake i'll try to correct it asap.

Ok then. I've had an idea for some time now, and wanted to create a world divided in two sides. The Living and the Cursed by a strange hex.
But of course, nothing is black or white, and despite being cursed by the touch of the Reaper, Tristan still keeps some reminicensce of "who" or "what" he was.
He sees the humans as something familiar, and barely has the will to fight them, but he knows that if the paladins had a chance, they would end him without a second thought.
Wherever he roams his companions are sure to follow; white crows or "lost souls" as he call them.

Once the Reaper asked: - Why would you keep this weak souls with you? -
- Why not, master? They are just like me ... Lost souls- The Guardian replied. -

His reason to fight is to remain "alive" (if you can call it that way) and protect the white crows, weaker souls that had no chance to find peace, and no chance to become a stronger being either.

After some lore talk about him, here are the early sketches for him ^^. I'm working with pencils mostly for his sketches. I have to upload the silhouette study yet.

Hello @redsinistra !
Appealing drawing and effects. I was reading about your whispering willow, i bent over it just to check, and he actually whispered to me "Dude, WTF are you doing with your face on the screen? Get back to work!" Your design is truely magic.
Fun fact: raven tend to have bigger scruffier feathers on their throat and it's especially visible when they bark.
