Prince Stolas in "canon"
From Wiki:
Stolas is a Great Prince of Hell, commands twenty-six legions of demons, and teaches astronomy and the knowledge of poisonous plants, herbs and precious stones. He is also known as Stolos and Solas. He is depicted as either being a crowned owl with long legs, a raven, or a man. Cool, right? Yeah my Stolas is actually a huge nerd loser whoOPS Continue below to see my character design for Prince Stolas + artwork. |
Stolas
Physical Description:
|
Optional Details:
Personality/Background:
Clothing/Other:
- There's always some kind of plant matter in his hair. Whether it's leaves and twigs stuck in there, or a laurel, or brambles, flower crowns, even birds' nests!
- Owls are farsighted, meaning they can't see things close to them. Stolas wears humongous wire frame glasses with round lenses (think Harry Potter glasses but giant).
- His hands can be clawed or not.
- Owls tend to stand upright, but Stolas slouches a lot.
- He has a third eyelid called a nictitating membrane just like a regular owl. They close diagonally from the inside to the outside.
Personality/Background:
- Spacey derp who loves plants. That's it. That's all you need to know about him.
- Huge nerd loser.
- His normal facial expressions are: expressionless (but his huge eyes make him look curious or surprised, which might be the case but probably isn't), taciturn, perplexed.
- He only gets excited about plants. He gets really excited when he gets summoned by humans because he just wants to share all his knowledge of plants, herbs, poisons, geology, and astronomy. Lately he's been summoned by 21st century teenaged girls who either want to know about star sign compatibilities or how to poison their enemies.
- When he's not being summoned by mortals, he works in an apothecary and freelances for the cartographer's guild making star maps.
- Weak as hell, doesn't like to fight even though he commands 26 legions of demons. However, he makes an excellent assassin due to his wide-ranging knowledge of poisons and his silent flight.
- His hobbies are reading and gardening.
- He doesn't/has no need to understand human social customs, so if you want to draw him being obliviously awkward, you can. He is constantly perplexed by people, and will do the bird head tilt thing (he can spin his head 270º).
- His best friend is Count Furtur. He doesn't know why.
Clothing/Other:
- Stolas usually doesn't wear shirts but if he does, he likes those shirts that human "bros" wear, he thinks they're called "muscle tees"? Anyway, he really appreciates the large armholes so he pull his wings through there. Otherwise he will wear something he can put on by tying or draping.
- For pants he wears these poofy bloomer type pants.
Owl Form References
Disclaimer: I did not take these photos; if you see your work displayed here and would like me to remove it, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to comply.
For his face and body, Stolas' owl form resembles an eagle owl: small facial disk, distinctive orange eyes, and ear tufts, though the ear tufts should be a bit longer, like the great horned owl. Stolas has a wide, "barrel-shaped" body like the eagle owl- it's one of the world's biggest owls. He basically looks like a winged, feathered, and chubby cat.
IMPORTANT: Remember that he has long legs! And wears a crown!
For coloration, Stolas is similar to a barn owl: his wings have deep, rusty oranges, warm yellows, and brown almost purplish speckles on a white body.
