CHARACTER SHEET EXPLORATIONS
(~4 hours)
Simple shapes and a pair of antlers - I wanted to create a creature that seems as innocent as possible, yet still keeps its' secrets... hey, what's behind that mask?
forest spirits: STYLE TWIST
A twist on the style with some realism enables the designs to work well in various projects.

spidersona
Inspired by Spiderman comic series, I've explored a suit that would blend with darkness,
but have strong enough accents and contrasts in specific places to make sure the character is always visible.

A nasty creature, fond of human flesh and suffering in equal measure. If one ever crosses your way, don't bother running. You may beg for a swift death instead.

They come in all kinds. A force of good, or bad? Depends on your luck. Only one thing is certain - don't ask a Tengu for a duel. You will not win.
