Art of Azos

So thiiis is the conceited little pretty-boy we've been reading about! Azos of the Golden City, ladies and ... I don't actually know if any gentlemen read my blog, but if you're there, here he is, gentlemen! As a sort of random note, Azos' tattoos are only on his left cheek.

The red bird behind him is the bird part of the Phoenix. Azos has two Aspects, like most of the Fai: a human and a non-human. Switching between Aspects requires a physical tie between the two. For the Phoenix before Azos, Luke, it was a feathered bracelet. For Azos it's a red headband with a phoenix feather in it. For selkies, it's their sealskin, for werecats the full moon. Djinni, elves, and pixies all choose their own tie, like the Phoenix.
