Vox Ref

I have no motivation to draw normal equines right now, so this ref is in my pony style, despite Vox not being a pony lol.

Vox was a random idea I felt like screwing around with to potentially use in my book. He’s a standard unicorn, but more reflective of the world in which he lives. Like a lot of creatures in that realm, his moral alignment is ambivalent at best, which is part of why he looks the way he does. He acts as a Lightbearer [in my book, the Lightbearers are a group of different individuals whom have been tasked with leading others, but they go about it differently and have different results in doing so based on different factors], helping to lead others on their way into the realm – kind of the Styx ferryman, but on land, with a lantern, and in an alien universe xD.

The black thorny vines are symbolic of the specific zone within the realm where he resides – a dark landscape in the dreamworld where quite nasty things reside [and all of the plant life is black in color for some reason lol].

I haven’t worked out exactly what his story is, yet, but I figure he welcomes newcomers when they first enter the area… and warns them to stay away from pretty much everything, since it’s a God-awful place. The fact that he even resides there suggests that he might be some sort of demon-like entity, such as an Incubus or something. I have no idea at the moment what I’m doing with him, though.

His coat is a combination of Cherry Chestnut and Black Chestnut, with some random spot markings. I couldn’t decide between coat colors and I like weird designs, so yeah – suits my purposes just fine xD.
