"The Fallen One..." (Non-TEF)

Graveyard's picture
Posting this because I am proud of the work that I have put into it. I will admit to one thing with this drawing... I do have a bit of a 'fetish' for drawing bones, claws, fangs, etc. They are quite pleasing to draw and so fun to detail especially if you are trying to make them pleasing to the eyes.

Again, I don't post my artwork often. If you would like to keep track of my artwork please watch my DA page or my FA page. Links to both can be found on my Deer Directory

Image and details under cut.




Aggressive... Arrogant... Chaotic... Cruel... Evil... everything his brother was not...

In his heart, in his eyes, in his soul
There´s no sign of thunder
Screams (Scream)
Can you hear the screaming?
When another restless soul must die

This was fun to draw... I actually had quite a bit of pleasure drawing all the little details of his outfit. Anyway... now to explain stuff here.

Leandros is the twin brother to Amuxiel. Where Amuxiel was a kind hearted soul, Leandros was the cruel and vicious one of the two. Amuxiel would often keep his brother in check and the two had a mutual relationship in terms of sibling rivalry.

After Amuxiel was killed, Leandros wasn't able to be controlled and he went on a destructive killing spree and seemed to vanish.

Leandros wears bones as a form of protection, the skulls and such are 'trophies' that he has claimed from certain creatures that he has killed and destroyed. And while they may not look comfortable to wear, they do provide a nice means of protection (And if it's destroyed well he can just replace it with another skull). Leandros' wings were burnt and destroyed, the feathers grow back from time to time but usually they fall out long before they fully developed. When the feathers do grow in, they are jet black like a crows with slight hues of red and yellow in them.

His nickname The Fallen One comes from the fact that many humans who have seen him often times see him as a Fallen Angel from the heavens that cannot get into Hell.

Each skull in this image was heavily referenced. I used Horse Skulls for the lower arm skulls, A Ram Skull for his shoulder pad (He has another on his other shoulder but it is not visible) and deer skulls (more specifically the Sika Deer). While they were referenced I took my own twist with them, since this is more so from a fantasy world. His wing bones came our rather meh but you cannot find proper refs of bird wings at times (And I was using a different reference at the time)

Anyway, enough of my blabbering.

Oh snap how did I forget to

Oh snap how did I forget to mention that the skulls on his hips are based on the Babirusa Boar XD Again, just based off of them I took the artistic liberties with it heh.

Thanks every, those skulls were a pain to draw at certain angels I'll admit that @_@ Especially without proper refs of them at certain angles XD
