Description
A sketch of my take on Aku from Samurai Jack for Sketch_Dailies on twitter. I know, I know, the original design is perfect, but I thought it would be fun.Related content

I actually really like your take on the shogun of sorrow. by the by, have you heard that a brand new season of samurai jack is coming in 2016?

I love this! Its like if they tried to make a live action version. I could see him armor being all black and using effects to show him shape shift. He would still have his awesome charisma. Love this so much! I'd love to see this design in like a still shot setting. Him against Jack and with some minions from the show. Brings to mind movies like that Eddie Murphy Golden Child, or Big Trouble in Little China. Very fun.

Thank you! Was fun to try and figure out what the different components of his design would translate to in armor (since I'm pretty sure they did the reverse thing when designing him for the cartoon)

I hope you do more with this design. Maybe a drawing of him versus Jack or something, maybe color. Its great.

If this was Aku at full power during his final battle with Jack, this would be totally cool.

It would be! Would be a bit of a nightmare to animate all that armor

maybe, or maybe not depending on how they animated it.

That makes me think of Gwyn from Dark Souls. The whole time the boss is enormous and intimidating, but then at the final battle, the enemy is the same size as you.

interesting. Also, I find Aku's armor to be quite imposing. I've seen real samurai armor and it looks quite similar to this. (also, ironically, Aku inspired a creature of the same name for a book i'm writing, but in this case, my Aku is a species of giant, carnivorous lizard that has the ability to disguise itself as part of a mountain.)
