[SUPERSEDED] Entropy Reference - Feral - Epoch 3
Update once more! A certain element needed changing, so I let ladystark work her magic!
Bio / Lore: A time traveler marked by the ever-changing flows of temporal possibilities, and adorned by his time crystal, Entropy strives to offer help and counsel to those requiring it. Always remembering those important to him, though his judgement never clouded by emotion or affiliations, he often acts as a mediator, ensuring conflicts are resolved in a peaceful manner.
His travels make Entropy one you should seek knowledge from. His knowledge is varied and thorough - this fact, combined with his eagerness to teach and inform, makes him someone to seek for various worldly and otherworldly information.
Outside of obligations, you can often find him acting like an oversized blanket to those he loves, heartwarming and cuddly as can be. Those seeking mischief should remain wary of him, however, as Entropy's strong sense of justice will often lead him to act as a formidable foe, should someone have malicious intents.
A bit of explanation of the concept, if it helps appreciate the concept better. Two reasons, and two design decisions.
The thermodynamics explanation of "given enough time, any system tends towards disorder" is a concept that has always appealed to me. This is represented by the pendant: an artefact from Final Fantasy XIII-2 - in other words, a time crystal. One of the rare objects that, in theoretical physics, will not see its entropy increase over time, sort of "resisting" it.
But most importantly, I'm a huge nerd, studying computer science and AI. In machine learning specifically, a concept that comes about and is used a lot is Shannon or information entropy. Cross-entropy is a critical part of neural network learning, which leads us to design pattern number two: the wings. Idea was to somehow represent this concept of entropy on the body, and this is the design pattern we came up with - trying to mimic a graph representation of a neural network.

really awesome ref sheet. ^^
You are quite the handsome fellow I must say once again hehe~

Looks great and amazing... and better than ever!
Giant, strong and beautiful - true perfection of a nature that gave him the sturdiness of a mountain and grace of cat. And these perfectly triangle marking are the sign of a magic and the greater powers being involved in his creation from - the perfect mix between science and magic
Though where the science ends and magic begins? Maybe when science goes beyond the simple comprehenshion? Or when magic start to invade the science and technology as a complete new and unkown matter or direction of research?
But without doubt he looks gorgeous! Not to mention that i adore the fact he is also a person that is not only about being strong but also expands his own knowledge and mind out of his own limits. Constant progress and development is the opposite of stagnacy and thus he combines the entropy of body and progress in mind - the balance
Awesome reference and concept!

I have told you how much I love how majestic your descriptions make pieces of art?
Yep, couple of times
But it is my pleasure to see the unique designs like yours and decrypt every detail in them
And this is the case when both artist and the owner both did amazing work
Keep it up. You have a great taste in artists!

Amazing Ref Design:3
And Such A Handsome Boy He Is:)
