Mkhan the Djinn

Ani't uploaded in a while! I know I should! Next post I'm gonna post pictures from my recent vacation to Dallas. Anyway, enjoy a colored picture, a rarity among my pictures.



Mkhan (his name is half a Arabic word for necklace) a djinn/genie who is completely neutral but is still viewed as a bad spirit to most who encounter him based on his behavior, past deeds, and evil eye tattoo on his back. Chaotic, selfish, and a bit insane, he does not align with good or bad and only does what he wants for himself and sees taking sides to be pointless. As much of a free spirit as a magic slave can be, he often disorganized and completely unpredictable without someone telling him what to do (that is if he wants to do it) He is not without a moral code but can be swayed away from it by the right offers and interests.

He is considered one of the most powerful djinn to roam around the Arabic peninsula and has no problem showing it off. He has a large limit to his magic that hardly is ever used and can grant as many wishes as he wants and at times even deny a wish but he still follows rules and restrictions that are set on him. He sees himself as the adoptive father for a child named Jazilan while still being a child at heart himself.
He can't use his magic to effect love or emotions, leaving him rather lonely since he can't force himself on someone who has no desire for him or make them return his feelings. There are no accounts of anyone except a few children seeing his eyes though why he keeps them hidden behind his hair is unknown. He is also able to shed his skin like a lizard and walk around as a 'magically gifted' human for a day before growing his skin back or returning to the old skin.



I think the most fun I had with this was drawing on the clothing on his stomach. I like the evil eye in it for some reason
