I’m about halfway sold on this style. Will need details, cutouts and more teeth, but i think that it is getting close to what I am thinking of.

In other news, for the next five months I am working in a new department that (if the position becomes permanent) moves me to the operations side of the company and a promotion. I found out that the managers looked and saw I had applied for the job about a year ago and so when this came up they offered the position to me.

Honestly, it feels a bit weird because I am not dealing with associates anymore and it is research, which I love. I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

Anyway, please give me some feedback on this. I THRIVE on constructive ideas.

Head Shots

Just now

Gonna post this NOT because it looks good. No, it really is uglier than a mud hut right now, but to show where the though process is going. I am thinking of making the Akuma head along the lines of the way the Banshee is.

So not a literally mask like they have on the original work, but a mechanical facsimile. Still have the teeth and all that, just more mechanical looking,

Thoughts?

Akuma

So I have gathered up a bunch of reference images, mostly of Samurai armor and Akuma masks, and I am diving in on the Akuma full speed. I am hoping to make this one seem more “modern” as a design and have the devil mask on the cockpit while the body resembles a stylized Samurai armor.

I think it will be pretty fun in the end.
