Bataar Khan

A draconian mechanoid, Bataar Khan is another android that I see as existing in the same universe as my Cynos Wulver character.

Cynos Wulver Artwork

My second art piece this month and it’s another blue robot character. lol This is a redesign of a robot character I had drawn back in February, but I couldn’t think of a proper name for him then. Now, I finally have a name for him: Cynos Wulver. [image] The name ‘Cynos’ is derived from cynocephali, the Greco-Latin name for legendary dog headed humanoids, that appeared as mythical races and deities throughout human history. ‘Wulver’ comes from a legend of a benevolent werewolf like creature that lived in the Shetland Islands off of the coast of Scotland. I kinda see Cynos as a reimagining of a robot character I came up with as a kid called Carno. Carno was the leader of the Zordicans, a race of robots who instead of transforming into vehicles or animals, used zord like machines to form…

Rather than being based on a T. Rex, Bataar Khan takes his name from a Tyrannosaur relative from Mongolia, the Tarbosaurus Bataar.
I cannot figure out if he’s a protagonist or an antagonist, as his name means ‘Hero King’ in Mongolian.

Nice drawing! [quote=“spudyeisleycreations, post:1, topic:46003”]

[/quote] If you were to make him a villain, it would be so ironically funny. You could also throw in some interesting themes to explain his name. I’d go with that.
