Necromancer Raptor char - Sketch (Patreon)

Roughly sketched concept for a new character I’m developing,   an anthromorphic raptor necromancer whose coloration (and to an extent, his name too) is based on the Bearded Vulture or Lammergeier.

A minor change to the general anatomy was having four fingers than three (A thumb added in) but that’s not really seen here easily because I fail at drawing raptory hands and hands in general xvx;

The  robe and miscy add-ons are also similarly not drawn in very well,  but  nothing here’s final of course - plenty of room for change and additions  over time! The dragon’s skull is his constant companion, and frequently  comments on her master’s shenanigans - especially his clumsiness and immaturity.

Personality  wise he’s actually a bit on the goofy side, a well placed insult can  completely disarm him and his magic, and despite his efforts at looking  evil he really isn’t.  I liked thinking of him as being kind of like  Jack Spicer from the  Xiaolin   Showdown series  -  he’s a goof of an antagonist that has a good side  to him underneath those attempts at being a villain, but the antagonist  form is the role he’s primarily taking on.
