i must say that that image is very disturbing for someone with ailurophobia. on the pertinent note i am digging 20 and 17 in that order, i'd actually like to see a combo of the two...have at it huzzah
I like 20, has some nice lines and I sort of think an egyptian theme like Anubis inspiration. Also like the slight assymetry of 2, with the back sword. Will be interesting to see how you theme it to polycount.
