Description I haven't drawn Veo in ages. Veo is deeply pondering.

I've been developing on him a lot since the last time I drew him. I think he is the most developed character (story wise) so far. He used to be a "King" character long time ago, but now his story is that he was a scholar.

Cannot say what he is studying, for it shall be revealed if I ever get his story and rest of my project out.

Brief Description:
The type of race Veo is part of is called "Phoenix" because of their traits of having wings, various fire powers and bird, reptile like feet. They also have all sorts of horns on their heads. Veo is referred to as "The Phoenix" because he is considered as a reincarnation of a legendary figure. Like how a Phoenix dies and the new arises from its ash. Once The Phoenix passes away, they leave a remnant. (And the remnant would somehow play a part in the next reincarnation.) The Phoenix is also considered special because of a set of unique ability they have, usually indicated by their eye traits. Veo's eyes are bright yellow, like the sun. (Well realistically sun looks white lol)

These abilities are...I cannot say. Might be too boring if I write them all down lol

Veo grew up with in a family of scholars. He used to be involved in a lot of politics, but the Kingdom, which he resided in, fell because of wars. He now lives in the world of human like everyone else, using the name "Victor" instead of his given name.

End of Description

As for the details of all this, they will be revealed later, hopefully, when I start drawing everything. Feels kind of terrible having characters and stories developed but I cannot draw them out, and I cannot share too much detail other it would ruin the story. I want to be out of this cycle Must start the comic project soon!

On a side note, his hair also makes sense now. Both Kai and Veo's hair didn't make sense before. Like father like son I guess! He also like birds. I suppose that's one trait handed off to Kai.
Lastly, Veo is Kai's biological father, but Kai was never in Veo's care. How would Kai feel when he finally meets his father?

Drawn in Photoshop
If you are interested in how he looked like in the past, here are the old submissions. Gosh I cannot look at it, they look horrible...:

Wow the oldest one doesn't even have horns lol. Also from a lot of old drawings (including ones not posted here) I see of Veo, he also had the same "psychotic" vibe as Kai, and also "war" type thing. He is no longer the psychotic type, nor a war/fighting person. Veo is a completely different character from Kai. Veo is actually one of my favorite OCs out of all my OCs. I am proud of how his development turned out, and I honestly cannot wait until I get to actually draw his story.

Ohhh I love Veo!! Missed seeing him! missed seeing your artwork! I've had so much to do lately! I hope you are well!!
As always I love your artwork dearly! I am psyched to see your skills have improved more than greatly! It's clear to see in all your drawings how there's been room for so much improvement. You've managed to keep your own style yet improve it with new and different skills. Love love love love!!

Also, I looove how the colour is fading like it does!! And the outline is amazing!! Keep up the great improvements! so proud of you!!!

I remember you used one of his faces from your sketches for your "That's Great Kid" icon! And I LOVE Phoenixes.

Maybe if I ever finish my story and make a sequel, I could bring Veo in! I love Evi too, she's so adorable and I want to give her lots of hugs 83

He might be kind of hard to bring in because his personalities are not that clear yet XD also Evi's dead ;_;

Well I can't work on the first story let alone a sequel because of school, so you have time XP

And I remember DX if I could I would revive her for being so gosh darn adorable. And then I would protect her with my life.
