And finaly the last one for this chara design session, A really bad guy : Voko the wolf.
Voko is a dangerous predator for every single voice which wanna try to reveal the conspiracy in the country in my story. It's a ranged murderer.
I imagined this bow with my own experience of archery (i am archer with 5-6 years of pratice in real life, really loving this zen sport), my own (awesome) bow haha, and FFXIV's bow designs that really kicks asses in the game. As you see it's clearly a modern recurved bow, with a terrible precision. The arrows are inspired by old japan-samurai-times armor piercing arrows.
You may see later in the manga how this fun badass weapon is working !
I hope you will really enjoy the bad guys i create in my manga. I take a particular attention to made them really cool and powerfull so we can have a decent feeling of danger / fear toward our heros.
Sorry again if i am taking so much time... I am really alone with my disease and can't fullfill my publishing project for now. The modern society is not really kind with sick people... The project still frozen today but i am fighting, and hoping i wil find a solution so you can read it.
Cya n' like always, please take care of yourself !
Cool design, i love villains and archers are cool (not for anything Ishida Uryuu is my fav Bleach character <3) and well, Yabusames are my favorite archers from ancient Japan, you have to be skilled as hell to shoot while riding a horsee, is a thing of beauty! <3
don't give up and keep it up, it looks better with each artwork! ^^
I'd go with with Fred Tastasciore or Clancy Brown in the english dub.
keep it up!
