Finished my husband's reference, after a day and a half of working on it!
The background is plain... Then again, the important thing in a reference is the character itself, not necessarily the background.
Some things to know (or at least, some things I know) :
-As the reference says, the eyes are the most important aspect of Shenzao. The iris ALWAYS glows. The colors are never a gradient - red ring and gold center must remain in that position.
-Shenzao is 6'3"
-Shenzao is not biological, and therefore has no sex/gender. He appears male, however, ~99% of the time. His choice, I assume.
-Shenzao is considered Lawful Evil. Sometimes chaotic. Certainly evil. Not a very good man... creature.. thing.
-Shenzao can be seen bothering Umbra (who still remains reference-less at this point), or leading her around like a lost dog.
-Shenzao's personality ranges. He's cold, calculating, ruthless one reality or moment, yet equally just as joking and seemingly lighthearted as most other creatures the next. (An absolute maniac. Truly.)
ANYWAY, I had a ton of fun doing this - especially his psychotic form. He's so smex. I love him.
OFF TO READ MY NOTES, NOW.
Enjoy!

So says the marvelous artist responsible for this beautiful remastery of the previous image.
I'll note that as far as the sex and gender discrepancies are concerned, they're unpredictable. Because of the shear magnitude of a voidling (being an existence beyond existence), one would first have to know the specific multiverse within which Shenzao currently happens to be manifesting. Are there biological organisms there? Do they have such things as sex? Do they have such things as gender? If so, which specific universe is under examination, because it's likely that he's branched it to include a branch of every possibility. Not that anyone plays with characters this far beyond god-modding >_>
The void is vast and small all at once. It both contains and permeates all conceivable existence. To be a being within the void is to be one with the void, and to be one with the void permits limitless manifestation in all things in the long path of dragging all things to be one with the void.
Existence is an accidental state to be rectified.
I've prepared a small amount of math as a demonstration.

Reminds me of orkos from the god of war gamw for some reason but i like it him xD
I had to look him up to know who he is. I may have to look at that series more closely if the embodiment of keeping an oath is similar to that which is void. Thanks for the new direction of exploration.
Np, the god of war games are quite nice if you like mythology. I rather liked the mythology of orkos
Looks great man! Actually didn't know the parts about the eyes.
I think something that would be really neat to see, is... not so much an animation, but one of those Icons that flashes from you looking like your unamused , then flashes to black, then shows your Psychosis look, then flashes back to you being unamused.
The Psychosis part of the drawing is impressive by the way. Lots of detail. Congrats to Himouto!

Interestingly enough, I was planning one of those to demonstrate how the eyes function. However, I wasn't sure how to go about it. When i get it figured out, I'll definitely let you know about it!
I find that I love and enjoy absolutely EVERYTHING about this character! Absolutely fantastic creation you have here! Truly magnificent!
It appears my inactivity has caused a miss. I apologize for the lack of response. Thank you for your interest in this character. He and I are very, very old friends by now.
