Description All right there in the title.
Just a casual piece I put too much effort into.

His face reminds me of a lizard.

(Fire salamander, anyone?)

Most likely the eyes; 

Though the consensus is that the mouth doesn't fit;  I'll stick to it since I've already gone this far

I actually like the mouth rendition. That's the first thing that caught my eye. The fire being the yellow what bugs, but only a little bit. Otherwise I really like the colourscheme of the whole pick, and how you play with the fires light on the armour. It's pretty cool.

To be honest, I can see exactly where you're coming from with this depiction and that's why I like it. You gave him that reptilian look because of the features present in the Protectors, like those 3-clawed feet and the triangular mask remeniscent of a python head.

I mean I have no canon to go off of here, but it would certainly be cool if the Okoto residents were humanoids evolved from biomechanical reptiles.

Well at least I'm not the only one who sees stuff that way,
I figured that designing them so that they closely resemble the sets are somewhat boring, considering that everyone and their mother can do the same.
Granted, some redesigns are better looking than others, but it's always better than just mimicing something that already exists

Llortor In reply to Disturbulator [2015-06-26 19:16:15 +0000 UTC]

What I try to do (and you've most likely noticed) is take features that are well-known on the sets and try to run them through a filter of my imagination.

But even then the more I do it the more unique a style begins to develop.

Disturbulator In reply to Llortor [2015-06-26 19:59:16 +0000 UTC]

Exactly, and after a while that creative filter becomes more of a norm, and henceforth something you become known for - that is of course unless you're already known for the art you do already, in which case the more bonuses the better

The mouth looks cool,but it makes him look too animalistic,which doesn't fix him at all. othereise great.

Nice piece but where is his mini gun?

Disturbulator In reply to jawbreaker36 [2015-05-07 01:37:21 +0000 UTC]

It's never always there in the animations, and something about it seems off-putting.. Just hanging over the shoulder..   I was considering it for a bit, but eventually decided against it.

jawbreaker36 In reply to Disturbulator [2015-05-07 09:42:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, he does do that in the animations, you can also do it with the set.

Gotta be honest bro, really not feeling that mouth design. He looks like a duck. I also think that's a little over designed where it could have been simple. The rest is pretty neat though. I also like how the red dots convey Skulltullas-I-mean-skull-spiders in the background.

Eerhh.. at least all the feedback is honest. I thought I was being somewhat clever with the mouth design but in hindsight you and some others make a really good point. I'll see what I can do to veer away from what you've mentioned,

Glad to hear that. No one likes duckface.
