An acquaintance of mine did a speedpaint a few days ago and a friend of mine keeps doing lots of cool expression sketches for his characters, so it inspired me to combine the ideas. (Un)fortunately, I suck at both maintaining the speedpaint mentality of fast and rough and also at sketching a specific expression accurately. As a result, instead of producing a cool speedpaint, I produce a very wonky and inaccurate painting and then polish it slowly and painstakingly into something passably close to what I was aiming for over the course of many hours.
The unquenchable and irrepressible rage of Cnossan males and the fight back to sanity and self-control forms a cornerstone of Cnossan culture. This anger is seen as their peoples' source of strength and power. It is a shadow, a chaotic reflection of the self that must be come to terms with and reincorporated, rather than fought against in vain. Their greatest leaders are said to harbour the most powerful and all-consuming rage of all that would drive any lesser being berserk, while simultaneously being perfectly calm and impossible to provoke until the last second when action is required. Kyrophon has more or less gotten through the developmental phase of his life when he was completely consumed with fury all the time, however it still simmers just beneath the surface of his seemingly happy go lucky attitude. While he understands his cultural imperative to remain in control, his self discipline is still developing and woe betide anyone who manages to break his cool.
Anyway, here's a very angry Kyrophon, presumably in the process of tearing apart every living thing around him. There isn't a quotation to go with it because in this state, Kyrophon isn't very good at forming understandable words.

He does understand the value of co-operation though and doesn't hurt people for no reason (unless he gets mad and loses control). A human or a member of another race might be able to pay him for work, or make him something he wants if he's nice to them so he tries his best to get along.
