Chronos Dromen Concept art

This character was going to be an entry for *Atroci's contest, but I couldn't finish it in time, I first thought that if I could not finish it, I could sell it for a good price, but then my love upon it started to grow, I have been in the need of a creature with a bone head, and this character was perfect, anyway you are probably wondering about it, heres some facts about the design, here is the part where I had fun designing him.

-He needs a gender and a name, right now lets call him a he cause I have no idea what gender to choose.

Story and Description(The following description is long I know, but if you like mystical animals, or with stories that are unnatural, read it, it might entertain you, also keep in mind that my english is not the best so there might be a lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes Hope you enjoy reading about this singular character.)

He used to be a Forest life walker(those who bring life to the forest and keep it safe, in other words a guard from the supreme Forest god), his horns are made of wood which are able to produce life, flowers leaves and sometimes fruits and such, however He was cursed by another god for his sins(or unknown actions) the curse consists of not being able to smell, see, speak or taste the world, but to hear the pain he has caused, his face was taken away as well as his soul was sailed in a crystal orb, he is a corpse, without its soul near him, he will turn into nothing and just fall for the darkness, in other words a life needs:
A soul, a spirit and a body.
He got a body and a spirit, the ability to think and choose by its own, to think and such(will be described later) his soul however was sailed into the orb, causing him to loose the ability to move, without it, he is just a corpse that could rot soon. his face like I said was teared apart by the god's strong spells(not fantasy magic like fire powers and such, but somehow magical spells(referenced to soul powers and wisdom) as he was rotting down he put with his remaining spells his eyes inside the orb, and part of his hair in it, with his remaining strength(now left with no spells) moved as he could to the Forest's spirits lake, a place which is ruled by the Forest's god, where it is said that heals any wound in exchange of spells, even though our friend was out of spells, he ran hoping that the Forest God will save him, however it appeared that the god was silent upon our character's cries, He needed spells in order to activate the water and keep it inside of the orb to keep his eyes alive from rotting.

What are spells? Basically are magical powers that are activated by the voice, spells can usually be obtained after a life is taken, (Soul , spirit or body) the user, if it is wise enough, can transform with spells, a body into new spells which are stronger, an easy way to get spells is to steal a soul or kill a living thing, this includes trees and plants, anything with life counts, to perform a curse, spells are needed and the strongest it is the more spells it needs.

Anyway with his own curse, which was carrying on his back, animals around him started to get cursed and since their life spawn is shorter than a God they started to rot instantly and die, from this our character began to collect new spells, once he had enough he started to perform the magic and sailed some water from the Spirit's lake which will constantly keep safe his eyes.(because he lacks of having both eyes and nose, also lacks of being able to speak, he used his tactical sense to find the corpses and take the spells, also since he is a god, he is able to to telepathy with other gods.)

Now why did he keep his eyes and hair inside of the orb?
They say the eyes are like the doors or windows of one's soul, our character seeks for spells in order to get ride of his curse and get his face back he needs his eyes to perform the transition of soul to body, is the only thing he lacks in order to be back alive, in other words he is a walking corpse, then How can he be alive if he lacks of having a soul?
He put his hair inside because since he is a Forest life walker he mainly gets his energy and life from taking advantage of the place, feeding from his roots and hair, he put his hair inside the orb because he feeds from his own soul from it and his hair feeds the rest of his body, thus keeping him alive, if he stops feeding from it he will start to rot back again, basically he is somehow inmortal(not like he cant die from wounds) but talking about life spawn he cant grow(in age( either until he is complete and can be turn back to normal, and his face restored as well.
Why when he feeds the soul doesn't get cursed back since its touching the soul(body?) He was getting cursed back constantly, getting everything near him getting rotten each time he fed from the soul, in order to avoid this he performed some spells into a rosary, the rosary purifies the soul and hair energy transition which is attached to the hair and orb,, also it is well said that rosary are strong items that keeps curses in place, he uses his to keep his curse asleep, locking the rotting curse upon the fauna.
summarizing:
Water from the spirit lake keeps his eyes from getting rot, the eyes are needed in order to seal his soul back to his body, the body(hair inside the orb) feeds from the soul and keeps the body ''alive'' the rosary purifies the soul and hair energy transition which is attached to the hair and orb.

With all this complete he was able to perform a magical circle and pronounce the spells, but how? he cant speak, nor see or even smell,

Theres stories that tell when someone dreams, its soul travels and actually live the dream, but its body remains asleep, when waking up, the soul returns from traveling, thus letting the body awake.
Dream catchers, this magical items which have orbs in the middle of the web which tracks the soul into it were used by our character, to seal animals for his own benefit, somehow like slavery, in order to keep the souls inside this tiny orbs, part of the body is needed to keep the spell strong, so he searched for 3 animals that could help him with speaking, seeing and smelling, he trapped when asleep 2 ravens and one rat, one of the ravens is used to see, the other one is used to speak and the rat to smell, how did he find them? anyone has the ability to sense a soul, when asleep, this wise character sensed their souls thus trapping them, because a normal animal like those does not last longer than 21 years(raven) and rat(2 years) he decided to attach the dream catchers into parts of his body that could feed them with his own soul(energy)
the raven's were placed in his horns, since his horns are known from producing life, after taking energy from his soul it feeds the ravens by extending their life spawn, because the rat needs more energy in order to increase its life spawn, its dream catcher was attached to the orb in order to get direct energy from our character's soul.
In order to keep it stronger, as it was stated, part of the animal's body was attached into the dream catcher, part of the rat's tail and raven's wing feathers(at the time preventing them from flying away and escaping). He can basically see though the raven's eyes, speak though the Raven's mouth and smell though the Rat's nose.

At first it was more of a slavery but then it benefits all of the users by lagering their life spawn, in time they all began to socialize with our character and he had promised to release them and large their life spawn by giving them part of his soul when they reach their goal.

Basically his main task is to collect as many spells as he can, to get ride of his curse and turn back to a normal god.

Usually animals of the forest fear him or just try not to get in his way, since he is constantly collecting spells.

If he is evil or good, thats up to you, if anyone has an additional idea, I am here to listen to what you say! 8D

I still need to color it but I think I already have the perfect design for him, maybe one of this wolf designs:
[link] help me pick one? or I was thinking in something brown with a black mane and a underpelt. also orange, or any ideas of cool colors you will think will fit it?(natural colors and design).
