Here's a small update. Nearing completion, I am taking my dear sweet time with this and letting each piece come to me instead of rushing through it.
I've made some major changes in the torso area, because I felt like he was standing too straight and and looked more minotaur than beastly, if that makes any sense. I'm hoping what I've done has worked. Let me know.
The hair looks like crazy dreads at the moment. I tried to keep with the official art, and I just went crazy with it. I'm hoping for more edits and opinions, lol.
I haven't changed up the knees yet, but I am definitely going to. I was really fond of the edit Sprite Collector made, as well as Mamo's.
Also, don't mind the ass swords. Just trying to get an idea of what pose I want. And what I have now is not what I want. I needs to bring the arms out more, and have the swords more horizontal.
I'm think if I do a horizontal view of the sword and a diagonal, I can just rotate those around and mirror them to get the rest of my directions. Because it's gonna take a lot of directions for animating, I think.
