Tiberius: Vassal of Nehushtan

Some of my favorite animals are lizards, and one of my favorite lizards is the armadillo lizard. While real ones are tiny and cute, Tiberius here is an eight foot tall mutant and I think his proportions show as much. I've always liked monstrous characters in fighting games so most of my better concepts for this series were very inhuman, Tiberius being one of the best. I imagine him rolling up into a ball and cannon-balling into his enemies or using his spikes like a circular saw. I wanted him to be brownish yellow (alternate color?) like his real life analog, but I have so many other designs that are similar colors, I came up with a maroon on the spot and it really helps him stand out. A colleague suggested using masks and it made the piece so much cleaner than my others (meaning I will likely go back and redo them with masks). Overall, Tiberius makes me happy. His flesh looks like flesh, his armor looks like armor, and my crosshatching work continues to improve.
