Very rough preliminary designs of Simon for my Castlevania redesign. I want his look and demeanor to be a cross between a nobleman and a vagabond. The original Simon is a wee bit too Schwarzenegger-- gonna make him a bit leaner, but still remain 'heroic' enough. Suggestions?

Chipping away at a comic for a client and I gotta say I'm proud of my line-economy on this dude's face.

I like the idea that those mandibles aren't really 'teeth', but rather like crab-arms that can grab ahold of food. It'd also absorb/slowly digest/dissolve prey into its 'nucleus' while holding onto it.

Last thing for tonight-- dunno why but I'm in a nostalgic mood and drew up my favorite Bionicle, haha.

...aaand a splash of color. #Bionicle
