He's originally a part of a very complicated and unorganised story, but I decided to move him to another because I don't see where he fits.
As he's based on a certain Malaysian folklore, he wears a way different outfit than this, and it doesn't even cover the body. The only reason why he started wearing baju melayu is because of the modern world's standards. But hey... At least this doesn't look too inaccurate or stereotypical to a tyrant. (...keris siamang tunggal design.)
I decided to play with his design's features because he's not even a human at this state, as he's reborn in a new body after dying alone of old age centuries ago. I don't want the fangs to show off too much despite his title literally translates to "The Fanged King", so I make his long ass fangs protrude his lips for a bit. And just now, eyelashes. Make himself look as pretty as how pretty his egoistical ass thinks of himself. The brown hair is from an illustration of the original version of his folktale, a.k.a. himself when he was alive back then.
Probably not the most time-accurate depiction, but since he's modernised to the top, that's the challenge. At least the base of what he is, is still there: Blood-drinking sadistic guy. He took many inspiration but in the end, the other closest design to this one is from Nirnama. And that's only when you put the outfits aside
AND in the end, all the handsome counterparts of Raja Bersiong MUST BE A MUZAN LOOKALIKE >:DDDD /j
