Really cool stuff. I would also say that there are plenty of evil kings and armored enemies to mine from the Mediterranean myth. The Japanese stuff seems almost like a tangent, story wise, though I have to say that the bird thing looks very nice.

I really like the colors on the test render. The warm cool contrast really helps (wish I could remember to do things like that). Noticed that on the rendered version the belly seems a lot more prominent. That's not a problem from this angle but might look a little dumpy in profile when he's standing upright.
All quibbles really. Don't really feel I'm in the position to crit some of you guys.

any accessories for this guy? Also is there any rule that says you can't color my characters for me? haha... Your color job is NICE! The only small crit... the shiny fingernails are a little over the top! But it's still good though...

Like I said in the daily sketch thread, it has nice Disney vibe to it.

I don't think that they're so much generic as they are "unexpressed." Each character really deserves a full sheet just so we can see their respective emotional ranges and typical poses.

Every character looks generic when they're standing there doing nothing. Remember, concept is only half of the battle. Personality goes a long way. Half of Disney's designs are boring, but what the animators do with them is just astounding. Imagine Disney characters like Dumbo, Baloo, Tarzan, or even Simba. Static, they look boring as hell. Given expression and pose... totally different story.

I think that any one of these designs could work depending on what you do with them. As far as Wii-oriented design goes, I'd probably soften them up a bit for the more family friendly console, but that's just me.

You give astoundingly good advice.

To bad Brian, I shared the same reason to have thrown in the towel for this comp, the holidays sabotaged it.

Hope to see you join dominance war III!
