It's Jolan!
Started my doodle of it, and.. well redesigned his colours again... really liking this one more than the blue. Had some fun designing the patterns on his clothes as well.
He turned out far more punk than I had intended.
Also to those who don't know. Jolan is a 800(give or take) year old Lich. Use to be human, and has since had multiple bodies. He likes this most recent one a lot. He's an eccentric fun character I have grown to love.

I was just playing a moment ago, clicking between the two drawings, this and the work in progress sketch - like a crude animation. I was after doing it for a while, I was expecting him to start talking
I prefer these almost zebra-like markings on Jolan to the darker grey colouring in previous ones, it makes him stand out more. But I've always been of that opinion with armour and such like - it should make you stand out so your opponents know it is you, and start being scared. I also prefer the colours of his clothes you have him in - the previous blue one was too close to Haurbus's colouring. I definitely like that you put him in different (but similar) duds, as it gives him a coherent fashion sense, while not making him cartoonish in that he always wears the same clothes every time we see him.
I know on the WIP you were worried that you weren't going to be able to be very expressive or do much shading with his face, as bone doesn't give you a lot to work with, but there's no problem in my opinion.
The pose you've caught him in is great, and resonates well with ones you see all the time in movies and cartoons, I can just imagine he's about to obliterate the person he's asking a question of with magical fire.
The crucifix-ish earring is an awesome touch too - anyone trying to turn this undead "monster" will have to think of a plan B

Yeah I like these colours more as they are similar to the 'first' one and more natural colours more. The dark blue one was neat, but Im not sure Ill stick with it. Still toying around so we'll see how he ends up. Also his clothes, heh.. sad thing is he changes style(like my opinion) often so the bad guys might not recognize him each time :)
I was surprised with his pose as I rarely get 'good ones' like the recent one of Haurbus is a little wonky with his legs. Also not so sure how much 'killing' Jolan does these days despite being a big powerful lich. I guess the meaning of power is having the ability to kill someone but restraining from doing so.
And yeah, He kind of.. taunts I guess normal conventions of what would be a weakness to him. Or he's just building up his resistance a bit :)
