[FIGHTER] Samurai Shodown, TAM TAM, Kuzo

Kuzo

So, after doing a lot of research I discovered Tam Tam from Samurai Shodown. I haven't heard about him until now. I liked the character design/story behind him so I think there is a lot of potential. I'm thinking of doing a Cyberpunk/Futuristic/Mecha variation, but I'm open to suggestions.

Bio: Tam Tam is a tall warrior of the Mayan country, hailing from "Green Hell" in South America. He receives divine powers through the holy mask he wears, which influences his fighting style. His weird movements like a crab are because he is partly possessed by the mask. When he takes his mask off, he is a kind and gentle guy who likes to play with kids. When the Palenke stone is stolen, he wears the mask and heads to Japan to retrieve it. But because he wasn't able to protect the stone, he was changed into a monkey. As a monkey, he helped Cham Cham recover the two stones. He sets out to recover the Palenke Stone which was stolen by Amakusa. He is Cham Cham's brother.

So the direction that I want to go with the redesign is futuristic, armored, mecha, while keeping the tribal aspects of the design. So far right now I'm still in sketching stages, which is taking a bit longer than I would like. More to come soon. Suggestions are welcomed.

So here's a bit of what I've been working on. Been taking a bit longer than I had hoped, however my character illustration needs improvement. Anyways, here is a quick preview. More to come. Comments/Crits/Suggestions welcomed.

Hey, cool idea. I think if your going with a mecha look you need more in the chest. I'm not sure what your exactly pushing for, maybe some reference for your behalf and our behalf to get a better idea. Cool idea though

seth.

I think that if you are going to mech him up that perhaps you could hack away at the shilouette so that its clear that hes not a guy in armour? good start though man, interesting character choice.

Thanks Inverted Judas & Seth for your suggestions. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to meet the deadline since I'm working on another character as well for Dominance War. I will continue to work on him but it looks like I'll be moving the thread over to pimping and previews in the future.
