Color Studies
Lot more writing done than art, I got some good tips from Medievil and Prince of Persia Two Thrones. Still unsure of the game mechanics. I could go for a full on hack n Slash like Dante's Inferno or more Stealthy like Prince of Persia. Another idea is to keep it in 2d pixel art.
Small May 12 Update:
His face when unmasked, Going for a 24-25 year old. Liking the Snake pet on his neck too. Having an idea of using the snake as an important part of the gameplay, like to use as a grabbing tool or a weapon, that's weird but you never know!
Original May11 stuff:
Giant Snake Monster mebbe
Some more refinement on Yoshi. Kind of taking some inspiration from Prince of Persia Two Thrones- The character has a dual personality, the normal look is more Aztec-ish but the cursed/darker version of himself is more Yoshimitsu. As far as gameplay goes, the darker version is more powerful on Melee combat, cannot be poisoned but is much more vulnerable to Magic. Effective against Monsters.
Gameplay wise, Character can wear alternate headgear which gives him unique abilities so one of the objectives is collect them
