About time I upload the ref of this guy, sense hes been floating around FA here and there. Alternatively He's a Mint monster. unintentionally looking like something the Andes company would make XD

 Gyiyg Was very helpful in helping this character come to life!
In brief he is a former construct/golem ascended to sentience and independent thinking! More then just simple animate stone though as he posses mixed properties of both organic and inorganic makeup. He does have some fuzz but texture wise is kinda rugged and firm, not as rock solid as makeup might imply! (Though his knuckles might be) Along with the belly swirl feeling grooved and any indents. I threw in most of the background elements and text, wanted to go with something that went with the blocky nature of the character. Thus squares! Wanted it to have an overlay effect also, maaay of turned out alittle wonky? It seemed neat at time. The font is actually the font youd see in the town of Onett from Earthbound btw.

He is inspired by a mixture of Aztec and Foo dog origins! Both Ive been quite fond of so why not throw em together! I think there's alittle bit of Eastern dragon in there too thinking about it.

Overall he has a more blocky structure to his form as if once carved from stone, obviously much more complex now! Ironically (or maybe unironically) If he were to put on weight these features will gradually grow softer though not completely vanish. His preferred food is fancy and rare minerals such as gold, quartz, iron, etc. And even gems if it can be helped! This usually leads him to accidentally consume magically charged gems which overloads him with energy making him bigger quite rapidly in most cases! He is not limited to stone and minerals though and can eat just about anything a living being could, however the sustenance is much less to him and generally only eats them for taste and pleasure!


On another note he does not actually have a gender, but prefers being called a "he" and generally has a more masculine look anyway. His arm patterns are asymmetrical and kinda resemble castle rooks. Finally the tail glows all spoopily, a sorta exhaust of residual energy from within his body. Despite appearing totally skeletal it functions like a normal tail.


More might be added later as it comes up or as necessary.
