Description Some Ludus Chaos sketches of Ardan and some of the "friends" he's made. And I use that term loosely (Looking at you, Lue, you fabulous... whatever you are) lol! Other characters pictured here include Harun, Quill, Kirby, and Lue (and his nasty back parasite). Also, the little goat creature was me having fun drawing Ardan as an "actual" Hedley Kow. Or at least, how they're portrayed in old fairy tales, but since Hedley don't technically have a true form... well it's mostly just for fun. But that's the creature that I based some of Ardan's features on- including his satyr-like feet, long tail, and black body. Because technically that little critter is also solid black like how I do Ardan's body, but I left it a lighter value (or white) so you could see it better. Which speaking of that, I had quite a few of you ask me about whether Ardan has ink black skin on most of his body, or if he's basically wearing a black body suit. And to answer... From his neck down to mid calf Ardan is usually solid black when in a human/humanoid form. He can have normal skin if he wants, but the thing about Ardan is that he only looks human because he likes too, but that doesn't mean he bothers doing it totally right. So maybe it's his skin, or maybe it's fabric. Ardan's body is whatever he wants it to be, so it's subject to change. I did it mostly because Hedley are described as jet black creatures, so I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into the design. Plus, Ardan's a freakin fairy so he doesn't have to play by your "normal appearance" rules. lol. XD
Also, I took his hat off for the middle bust as well to show you guys what Ardan's hair actually looks like. The only part that's white is his bangs, and the rest of his hair is brown and a very close buzz cut.

And by the way Varsettie, I think Quill and Ardan should be besties. Yup.

Anyhoo, Ardan is mine. Everyone else here belongs to their respective owners.

Hooray! I'm glad you like it! Lue was fun to draw except I had to downsize that armor a bit because craaaaaazy. And the parasite thing is creeptastic. I know you draw it more like a human head, but that creeped me out to much, so I made it more animal-ish.

ROFL for reals? You downsized the armor? I didn't even notice

Lol. It's like instead of having voldemort on the back of your head, he's growing out of your back... backimort. Β  I'm thinking it's probably got a crazy distendable jaw, like a snake. ... no wait, no that snake. There we go.

Well, I wouldn't say it's his "true" form since Ardan doesn't actually have one. But I thought it would be fun to draw him as the classical representation of a Hedley.

Little-Noko In reply to Turtle-Arts [2013-10-24 03:14:28 +0000 UTC]

yes~ it's still sad that he doesn't have one for real because he was a little shapeshifter.

Turtle-Arts In reply to Little-Noko [2013-10-24 03:42:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I kind of figure Ardan was just born in the form of whatever his mother was at the time. And for some reason I have the cute mental image where every time a baby Hedley sneezes it changes shape. XDΒ  But he gets his human face from one of the first humans that he met while traveling. So I guess technically he's kind of some random kid's doppelganger. lol

Turtle-Arts In reply to Little-Noko [2013-10-24 02:27:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Harun's design to me kind of looks like it's meant to be on all fours, so it wasn't that difficult to picture. XD I think the hardest part of him is getting a monster face that still kind of has a human shape.Β  But yes, I think he would be pretty ferocious id he got mad. Also, I kind of like how Harun's head is kind of proportionately small for his body. It's an interesting design choice... providing you did that on purpose of course. XD

You totally understand my mind~ I wanted to give him the shape of a moth, in his first sketch conception I gived him moth wings and he totally looks like one XDDD but now I removed his wings he looks more like a batΒ sta.sh/01x83uj8f18n just to give you an idea imagine it with his big wings XDDD
