Boy, it’s been a very long time since I posted anything on this site, and this will help proves others that I’m not dead, for I most of the week, is busy working at my job, as well as working on some of my projects. This time though, this is the reference sketch of Daris. He was created from an RP that I have done with a good friend of mine,  biocoal.
The character called Amunet belongs to  biocoal, and in a sense, he helped me create Daris, so thanks pal.
I hope you all like the sketch of him, I certainly do, I have worked very hard on it, and I especially love the design of the locket I drawn. One day I will color this, well, mainly the locket, it’s beautiful.
Now then, here’s the Description of Daris:

Name: Daris
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Abilities/Skills: Swordsmanship (Is mostly good with Shield and Sword), Forging/Crafting Armor and Weaponry, Magic, Necromancy
Spells: You know, when people hears the word ‘Necromancy’, it’s all about dark and evil kind of thing, right? Well, like a saying, there is good and evil in all things, so Necromancy can be used for good as well. I won’t list all of Daris’s spells he had learned from the RPs, but I will list some that are from Necromancy as well, so here they are. Here’s an example: Necromancy controls five main circles; Pain, Flesh, Bone, Spirit, and Death. When you hear those words you think causing pain, rending flesh, breaking bone, enslaving spirits and bringing death. That is only a small part of a bigger picture.
1. Pain Prevention: Basically this kind of spell can help numb such terrible pain that one is inflicted upon. It can sure help others when treating a patient so the patient won’t suffer from it for the time being.
2. Flesh Sewing: Basically sewing flesh back together in the right way, say like you’re stabbed/shot and have a big flesh wound. With this kind of spell, the victim’s wound would be healed up, leaving nothing but a scar.
3. Bone Mending: Got a broken leg, need to get a cast for it? Well, with this kind of spell, your broken leg, arm, or even rib-cage will be fixed up and back to normal, and with the 2nd spell, any flesh wounds caused with a broken bone puncturing out the skin or organ, the victim is saved and back to normal.
4. Spirit Release: Got a Paranormal Activity happening in your house, angry spirits just wanted to kill you for no apparent reason? Well, this necromancy spell ‘Spirit Release’, the spellcaster could help sooth those angry spirits to the point they would depart to the afterlife.
5. Death Restraint: This is likely one of the difficult bunch, but very useful. Say like someone was hit with a fatal blow that would kill them. The use of this spell would keep the person from dying, then add in the other spells 1, 2, and 3, and in seconds or minutes, the victim would be patched up and healed. And again, death restraint combine with the others could actually help people suffering from pain, injuries, diseases and viruses.
From all these spells that been listed, Daris basically has a very good chance of learning to become either a Scientist or a Doctor, helping prolong life for people. And treating ghostly spirits like therapy patients to help calm them down and go to the afterlife.
Details: Daris stands about five feet and seven inches tall; he is sorta skinny but has good muscles on his body. He has dark brown skin; he has brown eyes, pitch-black goatee and long clean hair that flow down to the middle of his back. He has a flat belly, some abs but at times have a bit of a chubby belly, so at times no abs shown.
Daris is not a punk-type of guy, and ever since he left the Dark Realm, well, he’s still learning the ways of fashion in the world. So his basic clothes he tends to wear is black jeans, black and red shoes, black socks. On his upper torso, he at times wears a red shirt; always tend to make sure to keep the shirt tucked in, and a black light jacket that’s often used to wear in the rain, that type of jacket that has a hood, the jacket has a red dragon-like serpent pattern.
Information: Daris was born and raised in the Dark Realm, an Underworld-like world, and was basically raised in the dark, forced to forever stay within the castle, for he is the Dark Prince, reading history books and perfect other arts such as swordsmanship, blacksmith skills, and his necromancy magic. The Dark Realm is basically a dead world, and he was raised there for twenty years, besides castle life, he meets with other forces such as zombies, lich, skeleton soldiers, demons, basically all kinds of monsters that dwell in the dark.
Till his old life was change when he met a lovely woman, Amunet the dragontaur, who had taught him anything he had never known of before, such as beautiful places of nature and life it holds, learning about emotions such as love and joy. After so much, he loves her and wants her to be happy.
Daris, from experience of age, is regal for a prince, but very curious of anything that isn’t part of darkness. Like most monsters that fear and hate the light, he’s curious and wants to understand it. He mostly was raised to know swordsmanship, armor cleaning, but also politics. One thing to understand about the Dark Realm is that it’s all about War, so most of the time, when Daris tried to learn about new things back then, either his mother makes him stay in his room or the Dark Generals punish him to clean up the dungeons and washrooms with his toothbrush. If he’s not studying history and does something else, he gets in trouble; if he fails in training he gets punished. And he’s very used to cold temperatures; the Dark Realm tends to get cold after all, so he hardly wears warm clothes at times.
In his new lifestyle, he lives with his father and step-mother which is a big mansion-like home. Daris tries to enjoy life as much as he could, still need to learn about fashion and other things. He is currently learning new kinds of spells from another spellcaster, learning other forms of spells instead of just darkness.
Daris enjoys nature, since it is a whole lot better than the wastelands of the Dark Realm. He may wear a hoody, but he’s alright in letting rain/snow hitting his head when he walks in it (Since there is neither rain nor snow in the Dark Realm). Besides his usual clothes, he has a dark golden armor suit armed with a sword and shield, and his dark purple necromancer robes. He hardly wears those unless he needs them for important reasons.
He helps with his love, Amunet whenever she needs him, and he trains himself in ways of magic. He knows dark spells and uses them for good, even though necromancy is viewed as evil; he is capable of using such for good. So likely in the future, he could become a doctor or a scientist, if he keeps up in learning. His one fear though that is known, is losing Amunet, he loves her; he doesn’t want to lose her.
He keeps a special locket around his neck, this locket he forced with his own crafting skills mix with his magic. The locket, once open, shows an image of the one he loves; Amunet. The locket’s front looks like a dragon’s eye surrounded with jewels, each one has a purpose. The Dragon Eye matches the same coloration as Amunet’s eyes. The scales around the eye match Amunet’s scales coloration. Each gem embedded around in the circle is made of a certain type of gem that Amunet likes, coloration, as well as each gem holds a memory, a fond memory that is of between Daris and Amunet. The Eye is enchanted to act like an actual eye, thus it would look at things, even blink, and closed up and sleeps. The purpose of that eye enchantment acts like a lock on the locket, so the only one who can open the locket is basically Daris and Amunet.
