Artist's commentary
The King
Something different again - different face type and different style for a challenge. One of my heaviest influences is manhua (Hong Kong style comics) especially Storm Riders because of the semi-realism and detailing. Mine has no where near their finesse and a lot of it is still pretty raw, but I think I'll leave it at that for now because I wanted to create something brooding to reflect perhaps Sagat's change of heart when he was in Shadaloo. I do find him to be an interesting character though this is the first time I've drawn him as a human and not as an anthro tiger...
