#faun boy

Milo as a faun

Allow me to introduce my latest OC, Ozymandias the Faun (Ozy for short)!

He’ll be featuring in an anthology series I intend to make called Mythology All-Stars, which shines a light on a plethora of famous (and also obscure) mythological figures and creatures from various cultures around the world. The first episode will star this sweet little Faun as he leaves the comfort of his forest in search of adventure, finds himself in the Labyrinth and makes an unlikely friend in Asterion, a gentle giant of a Minotaur.

Fact: Ozy is my first autistic character! He’s nonverbal and frequently stims by clasping his hands and tapping his hooves. He can communicate through sign language and is extremely kind and intelligent. All he wants to do is make people happy, whether that be through playing his panpipes or just being there to lend a sympathetic ear.

Also, he was partially inspired by the character who sparked my lifelong enthusiasm for mythology, Mr Tumnus from the Chronicles of Narnia. He was also based loosely on Tack from The Thief and The Cobbler, hence the big eyes, curious nature and lack of words.

I designed him with an anime avatar generator on rinmaru games

Hope you all like this shy little boy ❤️

Yeah, I made a boy and, like, please take him away from me, my hands can not hold any more characters.
