I'm not good enough at drawing that I could put an image on Taoh, just explaining why I've never really given anyone a portrait. As far as Nocturne goes, I think Nocturne is worse than just an inciter of nightmares, as he simply dwells there. Taoh is a bit different, as he revels more in leaving a mark on a conscious target's mind and inspiring their nightmares in opposition to Noc's living in people's nightmares, so to say.
 * Well, it's more or less a carbon copy when I think about it. Same targeting paradigm, etc. As far as using Fury goes, it's also to compensate for his lack of range without passive, and also because it fits within the idea that he is a battle-hungry monster.
 * I kept his Q as simple as possible. Taoh needs an easy way to apply his passive.
 * His W is actually somewhat new, but it's meant to be used in conjunction with his other abilities.
 * His E is actually the last ability I came up with before publishing Taoh, but once I made it I was pretty satisfied. As far as the fear-empowered bit goes, it's more to follow an idea of chaos and spread damage. So it's more than whichever hits them emits an extra magic wave of raw terror, or something like that.
 * Bonus stats? It gives bonus damage on autos, but it was far more "free stats"-ish before; but it's meant to retain some self-empowerment as if to say "let's fight for real now". As for the fear, it IS Taoh's niche, and I didn't really have an idea that would fit better. Plus, this ulti had to have some interest as an initiate, and I think the AoE crowd control fits into the idea that he's able to scare armies. I think I'll have to find some ideas.
