Never endangered! Never forgets! Never shows weakness! Nor mercy! Nor chinks!
I'm taking notes on how you contour your lines to imply direction and shapes. The open mouth looked like a piece of armor for the other shoulder, at first. But zooming in showed it for what it really is.
The way you pulled back on the crosshatching for the ends of the baton and on the ear and face create strong focal points in this piece. I would compare this work to that of Kentaro Miura, a master of fantastic armored creatures. You've done a really great job!
Ganash & Kali had a baby and they called it....awesome !! PS not gonna challenage him (I'm assuming it IS a 'him') to a to a mdingrham / tabla-playing (or any other, come to that) contest !!
