African Warrior Design

I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with this design so far! It started out as an emulation excercise- I was trying to imitate the style of Samurai Jack. Then I started messing with colors and lines and stuff.

The character himself started out as a charicature of an african man I found online, then I started simplifying and exaggerating him a ton. Cool, eh? His costume is based on a Samburu warrior, but I've left out some things for simplicity. I may add them later.

Just wanted to say Brian, that I think you're a freakin awesome artist, this is Joe Creswell that was in your Joe Olsen class and went to the same mission as you. Good luck with everything.

I won't say it warrants it three times, Brian, but you are freakin' awesome. And so is your warrior.
