I have been creating characters for a game! These characters will be part of a tower defense like sequence of the game. These guys will have an assortment of weapons (2 each) and they will be animated. Finally I get to animate something no matter how basic it will be. 

     To get what I have here I filled 20 plus pages in my sketchbook with multiple variations. I finally came to the conclusion that the attackers will have "sinister" like headdresses while the defenders will have more of a protective type of creature on their heads.
