Sorry I'm posting so late, guys. I spent most of today at one of my compadres' houses for his birthday party. I was the guy operating a safe haven upstairs for all the kids who wished to escape the chaos. Anyway, time to get the spookiness started with a new character: Yamusuko! In the yeeeaaar two-thousaannnnnd, the government discovered something that, at a time before blueberry-esque aliens and talking tomboy catttle were landing on Earth, was considered pretty darn abnormal: A supply of living metal deep under da sea. Not "Andy's toys when he's not looking" living, more like "algae you scrape off the side of your pet fishy's tank" living. Nevertheless, the stuff was harvested and used to make cool stuff like exo-suits , but little did they know it had a different purpose. And that purpose was to become this guy. Long ago, the Universal Force of Evil placed the odd alloy on Earth, right off the coast of Japan. One day, it planned to choose a person it believed to be the worst of them all, and place his/her spirit in an armor of that living metal once he/she bit the dust. That indubitably bad being would then rise from the depths as the Yamusuko, an undead warrior of darkness, fighting against goodness for all enternity. Oh, that gosh darn Force of Evil and its needlessly complicated schemes.
I'm loving the arcs you've got tucked into this one. The sides of his legs and torso and the nice cutout on the left arm there really make it a graphic standout. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever go back to work on this one more, focus on the right arm. It's holding the rest of the design back. Not quite the same solid flow that the other pieces have. You might consider making it straight down to give the curves of the rest some contrast, and it would make the sword extra powerful feeling.
Okay. But just to make sure, his right or my right?
DeleteUm... The right side of the image, lol. I guess that would be... his left arm? Sword arm. Let's just call it the Sword Arm. :) "The blue one."
DeleteGot it. XD
DeleteNobody is evil. Especially no human.
ReplyDeleteThen again, "believed to be" could imply what I`m saying.
You have a fun style.
