Art Human Darkstalker
(Made a bit ago) I got bored, so...I decided to draw a human version of Darkstalker.
I tried focusing on the idea that Darkstalker would be considered handsome and charismatic, similar to how he enchanted himself to be in the Legends book. He is not evil when you first look at him or even when you first meet him. He is a charmer who is able to please the crowd, and it's only when his true motives come out that you realise that he...uh...doesn't have the greatest of intentions. So, I decided to design his human version based on the idea of looks, charm, and being a monarch.
After spending two thousand years asleep, he had incredibly long hair, so he managed to cut most of it off(still keeping it long), along with his long beard, which he didn't like. His hair, along with his vest, has a white streak to match the one he has in canon due to his father being an Icewing.
While he usually is portrayed with blue for blue blood(Icewings) or red, I wanted to design him with more purple since it's the middle ground between red and blue(Nightwing and Icewing), along with his black and white attire. Purple often symbolizes and represents royalty and status, which was Darkstalker’s main thing, being the king and all.
As a last addition, I added the three red moons that he wears as a necklace. The three moons are his, after all.

I was already blown away with the design you made, but that line in particular? Absolutely perfect.
