Aton NEMESIS

Tuhka's picture
So let me introduce you my new un-official character Aton Nemesis. [no questions about the name. I picked it reallyreally randomly]
...I just created him so I know much anything about him myself yet, to tell you the truth. The character design might still change xD

This is only the beast form for now, I'll do a reference sheet for the normal/deer form later and add some more details to the beast ref.

Hum, where should I start.
This deer, Aton, is possessed by this demon called Nemesis most of the time, which makes him turn into a vicious, bloodthirsty beast that roams through the forest looking for prey and bringing misfortune to those who cross paths with him.
Nemesis doesn't roar very often but it often makes a sound that resembles a cat's purr, only it's a lot lower sound. Like growling maybe.
He's somewhat bigger than an average deer. Not GIGANTIC but big.
Yes, he's covered with black feathers. In case you can't tell from the picture. [crappy skillz]
I thought he would be able to grow himself a pair of wings when needed. I just need to go to bed now so no time to draw them.

As a normal deer being, Aton is quite ordinary: Polite and friendly but hates gathering attention, easily mistaken for being proud as he's really quiet and doesn't talk much and won't easily join people unless someone invites him.
His voice is quiet and soft, almost whispering. Not very talkative to people he doesn't know. A bit shy. <:D
I won't tell about his appearance yet. You'll see when I've finished the ref. x]

Oh, and I never want to paint his beast form again. Painting feathers is just.... gahhh. 8'DD
Now I have the feeling I've forgotten to tell you something but I can't remember it. Oh well, bed time.

...
OH YES! He doesn't have a picto yet. I must create an adorable little Nemesis fawn tomorrow, it shall run around murdering poor unfortunate sleeping deer and eating their guts like spaghetti.
Kidding, cannibal fawns are no good so Aton Nemesis shall be sharing the picto with Rat Snake maybe... or maybe Mitra. -shrug-
Well I'll think about that later. Good night. -headdesk-

Fluffy beasties are most treacherous kinds of beings. They make you want to pet them even at risk of your own life and soon you're a goner.

I do in fact have my very own fluffy beastie. However he (usually) doesn't like to eat people but I'm still a trifle wary. Considering the treacherousness of fluffy beasties and all.

D: can you not use Mitra's picto please? I dont want to sound naggy but...Draak would make a bee line and then find...this guy. Since Mitra doesnt get played much :c and I'll probably think it'd be her.

I commented on this on DA BUT I'M DOING IT AGAIN.

JUSTTT NFNGMGM HOW DO YOU DRAW SO EPICALLY?!
If you think the feathers are crappy, then you are wrong. Utterly wrong.
I envy your amazing skills, I'd give ANYYTHIIIIING for them ;~; -grabby hands-
You're like one of the best artists I've seeeeeeeeeeen.. ever.
I just srslylove the design of Aton Nemesis, it's just so imaginative, I mean wherethehell do you get these ideas from. D8> I want your brain. *Grabby hands*

SaritaWolf: Me wants my own

SaritaWolf:
Me wants my own real-life fluffy beastie. D;
Actually I never knew chickens like that existed. Quite stylish, I must say. I think I want one. 8D

Celticmustress:
You have no idea how much I get that from DA. xD
Waah, now I want to make major changes to him but I really don't know what <:D

Raz:
Well, okay I guess... if it bothers you so much 8o
I just easily use her picto because
1.) she's an unofficial character so I won't play her much anyways
2.) It's an epic picto

I'd really love using her picto though. It's only temporarily anyways. One month to be specific.

I think I'll make him pink

I think I'll make him pink and put red bows all over him so he won't look like that Howl thing, then. >8U
No, really, I'll do some changes to him because I hate the fact he's looking like some other character. Maybe some markings and... and some other stuffs.
And if Howl's moving castle has a creature like this, i think it's definitely something I want to see o__o
Well, all Miyazaki's films I've seen so far have been epic so yeah... xD

I don't think they're really

I don't think they're really similar, except that they both have fluffy black feathers. XD Unless this guy walks on two legs and has a human chest and a human face, I think he's fine. O:

Unless the pictures I'm looking at are only like a.. half-bird-form-thing. I've only seen Howl's once. I enjoy Spirited Away more.. 8D /shot for noface

I loved Spirited Away. Noface was definitely my favourite, aww! And the dragon... whose name I can't remember now for some reason. xD
And Princess Mononoke is simply beautiful, should watch it again sometime. <3

Custard:
wahh xD <33

Light:
I was thinking about blue markings on the feathers of his tail and neck. And some weird things poking out of his head. xD
I'll get back to designing this after I've finished a commission. *goes back working naow*

And gosh Howl is just epic, I loved his tantrum. x'D
Hmm, but doesn't Howl's beast form have only two legs? I'm not sure about the cave scene, though. o__0
Waah ~ *runs altering the design of her beastie >8U*

This post is 2 years old

This post is 2 years old today.

In those 2 years, I have never stopped loving the design of this character. I have never stopped desperately wanting to play him, even though I realize I did not create him.

It's not very often that I come across a character design that is not my own, or not some huge canon, that I get a huge urge to play, but this was one of them. Aton Nemesis still stands out as one of the most sickeningly awesome designs I have seen come through this site.

The art for him is, of course, superb. Tuhka has always managed to make the amazing art - but even by my standards, the design for this character really stands out.

Aton always struck me as the kind of monster you would find hiding under your bed as a child, patiently listening for the sounds of your heart, your breathing to slow and slow until he knew you were asleep --

And then, with all of the leisure of a perfectly patient predator, he would slither out from beneath your bed in a slow, slick sound and loom over you, feathers shifting and ruffling while he breathed in every bit of whatever nightmare you were having, before beginning to eat you, bit by slow bit.

Sometimes...you can cry until there's nothing wet in you. You can scream and curse to where your throat rebels and ruptures. You can pray, all you want, to whatever god you think will listen. And, still it makes no difference. It goes on, with no sign as to when it might release you. And you know that if it ever did relent...it would not be because it cared.

And that is how I always saw Aton Nemesis.

He reminds me of Howl's demon

He reminds me of Howl's demon form from the Ghibli movie "Howl's Moving Castle!" It's a good thing, so don't worry.

I love his concept.... and I really just wanna snuggle in to that feather-bed-of-a-deer and his fluffly tail.
[right]

Oh my, thank you Bylah. your

Oh my, thank you Bylah. your writing truly hit me and is flattering me to no end, I can't even tell ya.
And nicel you made me remember why I'm still keeping him though he's not being played atm~
This was really nice to read and totally made my night, mrrrf. Didn't expect anyone to remember him anymore <3

MissButterflyCaught:
Bwaha, you're not the only one who has said that... <'D
And the list of people/critters wanting to nest in him is also quite endless xD

I couldn't forget Aton if I

I couldn't forget Aton if I tried. He's pretty much the only character that is here, that is not mine, that I want to play. He's amazingly awesome and, imo, original, no matter the fact that he looks like Howl.

I don't wanna nest in him. I wanna nest with him. :jjjjjjj

One can't forget this

One can't forget this character if one first have seen it.
His design is still one of the most awesome I've seen. ♥
