Meet Zidane. He’s a role playing character I’ve had since the 90s. He’s the Shadow Man with Egyptian origins. He was the pharaoh of his time.
First is a drawing of Zidane as a human so you know who I am trying to mimic. Modern and pharaoh. I used his tattoo as the pony’s symbol
He's an evil Shadow Man. He's inspired by the paranormal Shadow Men. These guys are entities that stands at the edge of a bed while you sleep. If you happen to see him, you'd see a dark figure in a brimmed hat and a trench coat. If you see him, he will strike paralyzing fear into you. You won't be able to move. (Read up on Shadow people, they're awesome).
My character is a small twist. He feeds off of fears (like how vampires feed from blood). He has powers to send fear into his prey, he has powers to manipulate nightmares, and he also has powers to control shadows. He walks among the shadows as well. His name is Zidane. He's thousands of years old. In his human life he was a Pharaoh ruling Egypt with a fierce hand. Then became a Shadow Man when the prayers to send him to the heavens upon death was misspoken and he fell instead, reborn into a Shadow Man.
In pony form, he's all black, with a glittering gold Hieroglyphics symbol. He wears a fedora style brimmed hat as the signature of all shadow men. You can see a drawing in my signature drawn by an amazing artist here: Stellaluna
and this is a drawing a friend made for me:
For the custom I did,I dyed Twilight black and quite pleased how the dye job came out. I cut her horn off and patched with epoxy- decided to give a star on the forehead since the dye didn’t match up. I made a pencil rubbing of the symbol to match best as I could on both sides. I used marker paint to paint the symbol. Other paints were cheap acrylics. I found the hat in the doll section of the craft store and it’s perfect.
He was fun to do
