Djin Muirat

All rumors whispered in the darkest corners guess at where Djinn Muirat came from. Some say a union with death and darkness manifested him. Some say an underground rift opened and he clawed his way through. And others say a great dragon of darkness breathed its necrotic breath into a sacred temple, and the mixing of mana created Djinn Muirat.

The Djinn rules deep underneath Mortis, seated on a throne of skulls within his home, the Palace of Bone. He has hundreds of servants in his command, and even more people under his influence.

Through centuries many have tried to claim the Palace of Bone for themselves. For within lies ancient treasures, powerful spell scrolls, and long-buried secrets. Djinn Muirat repels each one. The most powerful to have tried was the great serpent dragon Gamadan the Earthquake. It slithered its way into the palace, consuming all of Djinn Muirat's soldiers that stood before it, until it came to the throne room itself. Djinn Muirat killed it in a single blow, and now has its skull mounted above his throne.

Many powerful people seek an audience with the dark Djinn, hoping to exchange favors and get access to his magic. But Djinn Muirat manipulates each deal, wish, and exchange. And through the years he's controlled kings, emperors, and sorcerers.

While Djinn Muirat rarely leaves the Palace of Bone, when he does it is a monumental occasion. The ground shakes as he walks, and the shadows coil around him like snakes. Any in close proximity hear whispers in the air that drive the weak-minded mad. Djinn Muirat has been known to walk directly to the fortresses of his enemies, or the lairs of great monsters that oppose him, and deal with them single-handedly.

Throughout the centuries Djinn Muirat has earned many nicknames. “The Nightmare in Bone”, “He on the Skull Throne,” and “The Conjurer of Death”.

First, I start doing the sketch of the character.

Primero, inicio haciendo el boceto del personaje.

Then, I put the most darker colors like the color base of each part of the character.

Now, I add another layers with a bit clear colors to distribute the light.

With my airbrush I put a gradient in the skull, and I start doing the details of each part of his body.

Con mi aerografo pongo un degradado en el craneo, e inicio haciendo los detalles de cada parte de su cuerpo.

Now I add luminic effects over the eyes and horns, also to do the lines in the horns I used a layer with the effect of shade.

Ahora añado efectos luminicos sobre los ojos y cuernos, tambien para hacer las lineas en los cuernos usé una capa con el efecto de sombra.

Now I outline the drawing, making the line thicker.
