This is how Hecklermon Pursues failures:
I really dig your Serpent, Dracoyoshi8. The leaves over the eyes is the touch that sells it to me. They function to both obscure a clear view of its eyes, making it seem more untrustworthy, as well as giving it a distinctly 'pagan' look (Bacchus in particular). I'm not convinced about either the green or brown though, and for such a fantastical (but historical!) snake, I think you could afford to try more whimsical, even deceitfully attractive, palettes.
edit: oh cool! My faves are
Green w/envy,
Gold standard, and
Fall of Troy (special mention to
Menhissing for the pun). Thanks for exploring those options.
I was a fan of your Vampire, Yilx, but I agree with the stats favoring the Cactus. She's quite dynamic and appealing, and your colours blow it up and makes it seem as if it exists on the brink of perpetual dusk. I'd love to see you pursue the yakuza/pineapple though (I have a feeling I'd prefer it over the other two even), but can you please pretty please try a closed-eye/squinting variant?? I think that'd give it more of a tough guy unapproachable boss-look.
Speaking of tough guys, Whips has that and then some. I like the concept and his general build, but I think you could justify a more violent colour scheme, Doug. The white kind of pulls it in the opposite direction of the kind of mood it establishes with its appearance, and though I guess some other options, like red or purple, might be expected, sometimes you just gotta make the archetype work for you. In any case, I'd have loved to work with this guy as a fighter.
This kind of reminds me of your previous concept, but that's not a bad thing;
That's because...
