Description YES I got this up before the deadline, yay me~
Anyway so here's Ollie, my entry for the "surprise me" category in the contest since I thought a jewel thief would be cool.
Again this is for the design a gang member contest held by for her comic GO READ IT IF YOU AREN'T-> www.zoophobiacomic.com/Zoophob…

Ugh though I'm gonna be honest I went through soooo many different color palette's for his feathers and scales ffffffffu. I still don't know if I'm happy with these but ehh
So yeah Ollie is half Cockatrice, half god-knows-what-else, and is actually a pretty decent guy once you get to know him. He isn't cruel or anything but he knows how tough life is out on the streets and what it takes to survive. And unfortunately for him the only way he knows how to get by is to steal.

Short Bio: Ollie was pretty much abandoned by his parents, and from the beginning Ollie's older brother raised him. His big bro was good enough to teach Ollie some basic school and about life in the big world, but he was a horrible role model. Soon enough Ollie's powers started to develope and the older brother decided to put them to use, mainly by robbery. (Ollie was especially interested at a young age to steal things that were SHINY or BRIGHT. It's almost like he NEEDS TO STEAL ALL THE GLITTERY STUFF IN THE WORLD.) However when Ollie was 13, his brother was killed in a gang related activity. Ollie's been on his own ever since.

And Ollie BTW doesn't have the FULL powers of a Cockatrice, that being the ability to turn others to stone. He's 50% Cockatrice, but the other 50% messes with his powers. So it's a hit or miss.
And his "invisibility" or "camoflouge" or whatever ya wanna call it, works a lot like Randall's from Monsters Inc. (except he doesn't wear clothes when he's all sneaky, so ignore the clothes in the right side doodles)
He does have a scale disease, and gets sick often, so scales and feathers are always falling off the poor guy. Ollie's really self-conscious about it too.
*shrug* So yup! Ollie, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh wow sorry for text. That was a lot more than anticipated."

Nice character!

Not to be of intrusion, but " ... to steal anything shiny, metallic or resembles a jemstone"?

Thanks! I like him too
"-to steal anything shiny, metallic, or resembles a jemstone" For example, if there was a shiny metallic pen lying on a desk, Ollie would feel compelled to take it, whether or not it had value. Ollie has a case of kleptomania, but specifically for shiny objects.

Anytime,
Sounds like "jemstone" should be "gemstone" then

But no problem, it`s not as big of a fail as some others *cough cough* tend to do.

Oh, so he's a cockatrice! How did I not think of that!! I mean, this is awesome!!! Cockatrices are awesome, and this guy is probably the best cockatrice I've ever seen ever since......well, ok. This IS the best cockatrice I have ever seen. You deserved to win, man (girl?). This is way better than my entry, I admit.


Also, I have a question, can he petrify himself by looking at his reflection while using his third eye? And will petrified people suffocate if they're petrified long enough? Just asking 8)...

PhantomWise19 In reply to Dom-Voidrake [2014-02-14 06:11:36 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow thanks~! Glad you like him, haha. I hoped that making a cockatrice wasn't too out there, but then I remembered it's Zoophobia and any creature is possible.

Hmmm, on the whole reflection business, I'd have to say it wouldn't have any effect on him, much like how if Medusa looked in a mirror the curse wouldn't work. 

Oooh, good second question. Hm, since Ollie doesn't have the full power of a cockatrice, his stare just encases people in rock. So yes, I'd have to say it would suffocate people to an extent, but after a short time (or once Ollie is far enough away) the curse with break. I imagine the victim would definitely be gasping for air after the whole ordeal.

Oh, then thats a relief, but pretty scary too. Is the petrified person unconscious or conscious? I can also picture his feathers falling off of him while he's camouflaged as a sort of weakness. That is, if the feathers aren't camoflouged once they're separated from his body. And I also love his neck for some reason and those tiny little braids on his hair-feathers. So cool.

PhantomWise19 In reply to Dom-Voidrake [2014-02-14 22:27:06 +0000 UTC]

The people would still be conscious, but their vision would be dark, due to the encasing. They could even hear some muffled sounds too.

And yup, you guessed it! Since he loses scales and feathers often it's really easy to tell where he's been. Ollie tries not to leave a trace, as he is a thief, but that's difficult when you're molting 24/7. ^^" However the mechanics of Ollie's powers will possibly change, depending on what Vivz sees as important to the story. It really is up to her

I like his neck too, it's fun to pose with. Haha, yeah he likes to braid and put little bead accessories in his feathers too.

Dude! He is beautiful!!! I love him already. I'm also highly impressed that you found this wonderfully obscure monster. Your creativity still astounds me.  

Also, I agree with the comment below. Snazzy as hell describes him perfectly. The color scheme works very well together.     

Oh and on a side note, I'm strangely in love with his feet, I'm not sure why though.. *shrug*

But yeah, you got some serious competition for this contest, the other entries are so good! But I still hope you win! (Not that I'm bias or anything)

Yes indeed. The time we have spent separated has made me grow weary.

How long has it been my dear friend? Days? Hours? Months? A Week?!?

I just simply can't say.

Yes. Many nights have passed since our last meeting face to face.

We must remedy this.

Wow just....just wow, I ADORE this! I don't know if it's the hair, those crazy body proportions or the expressions...or all three (probably all three XD) but this is amazing.

Wishing you good luck in the contest, this is really great

Oh my good golly gosh THANKS SO MUCH~!

I was worried he'd turn out for the worse ^^" I'm IMMENSELY happy with his feathers though.

I actually looked at your submission like a DAY ago and I love him, jeezus you can't get any sweeter than an Avian magpie. And Sunny's such a snappy dresser GOSH.

Man, there are just so many cool entries out there that I hope win, good luck to you too!!

TheCrazyOneOfTheGang In reply to PhantomWise19 [2013-10-01 02:49:42 +0000 UTC]

You should be, he looks like he'd fit in just fine and I can totally see him in the comic. (btw don't worry about the colours, they compliment each other really well so he looks snazzy as hell!) I love that he's a self-conscious nerd as well, it's a funny little trait to add to a jewel thief.

Thankyou I worked so hard on my entries so it means a lot to hear that you like him. After seeing two lovable avians with Jackie and Alanzo, I was curious if there were any that weren't so nice and figured a bird that's known for thieving made the most sense.

I think whichever ones she goes with will be amazing, everybody has given it 100% I can tell.

YOU FLATTER ME oh my goodness gracious~

I can't resist loving sweet guys that are self conscious, call it my weakness.

And heck yeah Avians are da bomb, and I agree they definitely fit the picture of being clever little devils~

No kidding, everyone's had fun with creating for the contest! 8O

The feels for this comic man... erGH <3
