Here's a new look for one of the first characters I ever drew for my project (some years ago now), Niklas.



Although I had originally thought of him as the main character, over time I started growing really bored with his design. He was just too plain and there wasn't really anything to him. I gave it some thought and tried to give him a more unique body type, as well as some sort of heavy metal-like makeover... I felt like he needed some kind of personality (or at least gimmick) very badly, and this felt appropriate (or at least appropriately silly) for a Swedish character. I still don't have a much clearer idea of how he should fight, but I at least have some idea of who he is, and that alone makes me a lot more fond of the character than I ever was before.
