Wow, well I have to agree, I like this one alot better as well. As I mentioned before, very cool storyline to go along with this character. Like the hairstyle, that 'tossled' look seems to fit well with this character. The blades that are coming out of his body are very plentiful, and the blood you drew onto all the blades was very well done, and a very nice touch as well. Even with all thats going on it this, you still managed to get the proportions fairly perfect again. Without the storyline, I might say he was a bit then, but with the blades added in it really isn't a problem. His costume is a bit simple, but its not really the focus of the character, and now that I think about it he really would have any need for a fancy costume since the blades are going to be slicing through it. The sort of 'bandaged' up look his quite fitting in this case.

I also just love the second closeup you added so we can see his face. You can better see the details of the hair. And the only having one eye part of this is a bit creepy, very cool. And that post with his right arm gives him that 'sinister' feel I am sure you were shooting for, very cool character indeed.

i have nothing to say anymore, amazing work great details, and the effects on the swords are perfect.

an addition to the original seed, this one is the best. i absolutely love the spikes and stuff comming out of his body, like spawn. that blade from his arm looks a little like the guy from Yu Yu Hakisho, but none the less it still is great. the fact that he has one eye makes him more lethal because you'll have to focus on just one eye instead of the whole body. i love this character alot, thanks for all the great art we see.

WOOHOO!!! i finally go tmy internet wrking at school. JOY . . . anyways, nice pic. very cool. i think the spikes on his back look really freaking cool. though the spikes on his forearms are little to reminiscent of baraka. i would give you a five, but i think you messed up a bit on his left arm. it just looks funky to me. anyways, 4/5. very cool.. also i finally got to work on that concept i was coming up with. it's actually not coming out as good as i'd imagined. ill probablyu do a couple of tries before i submit it using my digital camera. no scanner here at school. i hope that reptile wasnt too pissed about he fact that i didnt submit anything like i said i would but i've been busy. anyways, good job with the revamp of the guy. he looks much more colorful like this i think.
