.DARUMA.

Bintaroung's picture


wip


x


mutant entity. sextupled abomination. craver of the soft pungent and decaying. seemingly benign


time addled mind. bone keeper. soft lows and hyaenidae cackles. sleepy countenance. fallen reincarnation. inky seal pup eyes. slick jackal smile.





A being pushed away by time, his origins are foreign even to himself-memories crumbled to dust and wiped clean..




He only knows himself as Daruma...


His voice, echoing sly dulcet tones..(.Antibus.)

Once revered as a reincarnation, he was bestowed with ritualized scars and gifted offerings-he can remember
little of those milling creatures who looked upon him in awe, their civilization has long since shattered


Later the harbringer of death, a plague on mankind..



He's a very patient and inquisitive creature; though he may have been around for ages
he still seeks to garner much knowledge, knowing full well he may forget one day..

He possesses an oily charm and is hardly above fulfilling his desires at your expense


His sleek head houses jaws of formidable strength, most oft used to crack open bones to access the aged marrow wthin...


His eyes, liquid dark and endless, are seldom actually seen-he wanders about with them sofltly lidded, only opening them to feed


Due to his rather repugnant feeding habits, he often carries the noxious scent of
decay, he'll feed every fortnight but the scent may still linger under his natural
odor-perfume of burnt wood and rainy atmosphere


His vocalizations are akin to a hyenas; a cacophony of cackles, whoops, grunts and lows.


Challenges the line between 'good' and 'evil'...

Quite open about his predacious nature...

Oddly enough, the design

Oddly enough, the design reminds me of Esk. Not sure why though...it's mainly the face, methinks.

I'm loving this so far, he seems like a very interesting character <3

At first, I wasn't too big on his design, but now I adore him <3

There's a sculpture of him on PatchTogether, but alas, I just went to look and possibly order it, and they're out of stock for him ;__;

He's pretty neat too, you can grow a plant in him <3
Bintaroung's picture

lol, jaja I realized that

lol, jaja I realized that after a bit, I may tweak him or leave it be. Give him a wonky head or something.

It's probably the combo of white canine like face and dark hide?
OokamiAzura's picture

Well, yeah, that white face

Well, yeah, that white face and dark body, although it was mostly just the face.

Just to keep this straight though, Esk ain't my character. I was just saying that Esk came to mind when I saw Daruma.

And personally, I like Daruma's design the way it is now <33
Bintaroung's picture

Oh, I know, I follow her on

Oh, I know, I follow her on DA =)

I'm not upset of anything.

I wanted to do something wispy and frail with a repulsive manner, I suppose the design just fleshed itself out as this.

To me, the design gives off that wispy, frail feel, but it also seems to give off a certain elegance that only Daruma himself seems to master.

Nope, he is minus a tail.

For you - ! I edited this

For you - !
I edited this just for fun. I hope I'm not too off on his design.
And about his set, I imagine you're going to use the nightfall pelt and noh mask..? I love it when character designs makes sense.
Bintaroung's picture

Oh my how I love you! He

Oh my how I love you!

He looks so beautiful and real. Thank you so much.

I'm still not to sure about his set, I've considered DOTD, Beluga, and Nightfall pelt and the Crying, Skull and Noh masks. I'm so indecisive, but I suppose I have time.
J!n's picture

You're welcome, I'm really

You're welcome, I'm really glad you like it!

I was thinking the Noh mask because of the identical colors and the closed eyes. And the Nighfall pelt because it's blue, shiny and not very fur-like. And the yellow on it reminded me of his scars..
Bintaroung's picture

(No subject)

<3

Indeed, they both do. I'll probably test out a few before deciding. But The Noh is definitely on the list as well as The Nightfall =)
J!n's picture

I might make another edit

I might make another edit sometime, because it was really fun and easy. So, is there anything I should change or add so it will be more accurate to his design..?

Oh no no no, it's great as

Oh no no no, it's great as is.

If you want to mess around with him a bit, feell free but he's so gorgeous. Your edits have always stunned me<3

But, Daruma...
I am no longer high up.

If I was, still, would you gaze at me?



If you caught me, would you keep me greedily or selfishly at your breast or under your palm?

I can easily make a game of running from you, though, sage.
