Description

So today's new character is a bit of a change for me (in my mind at least.)

This originally started out as a bit of a joke, it was gonna be this huge tank-like Japanese bloke who worshipped at an old temple. he was gonna be fooled into taking a demon's corpse across Japan to an ancient temple and perform a ceremony to bring back a loved one, but it would actually bring back the demon, causing chaos and destruction across the country. The problem with it, was that I couldn't get the vibe of the character right. He was gonna be wearing a jar with the head in it, which would talk to him, tell him where to go etc. But rather than being quirky and fun (the way I'd envisioned it) it just looked super lame.

So I still liked the idea of someone being tricked into resurrecting a demon (I know it's been done before) but I wanted a new way to get in, and decided to try it with a kid whose just lost his Dad in Afghanistan. Obviously alot of people are going through this right now, and I thought it would be a good way to get people feeling for the character. So, as I decided to type the premise into the picture (don't ask me why... I thought it looked cool I guess) I'm not gonna bother typing it out here. It's probably full of plot holes and stuff, but it's just an outline at the moment. so don't scrutinize too much =P

Let me know what you think.

arms seem a bit off, either the hand is to large or his arms look like logs...
