Seriously, I tried to make the abstract one work. I just couldn't get it to fit my liking.

This one I'm much more enthusiastic over now.

You might hate this Blood, but I had a thought. I was watching "Monster Bug Wars" on the Science channel and I realized just how many "bugs" rely on plain old mechanical damage to kill stuff.

I watched a scorpion doing it's dirty work and saw how, rather than cut it's prey up, it used it's pincers to just hold it in two places and -tear- it into peices. No cutting, no stabbing, just pulling apart and I thought; maybe instead of the meatball or a humanoid form. . . had you considered something more insectoid or even mechanical?

Something that isn't fleshy and squishy with mammalian claws and fangs and the varios cutting tools of creatures that prey on soft flesh; but instead the kind of heavy mechanical hardware designed to dismember while the prey is still trashing. Like a scorpions pincers, or a mantis; tools for holding and gripping and tearing rather than cutting or slashing or scratching. Or like a machine you shouldn't reach into, not because it might cut of your head, but rather -pull- your shoulder right out of its socket.

You said you were having a hard time getting inspired, and I was inspired by it; so I thought I'd share. The really heavy, mechanical nature of it all just seems to fit to me, and it doesn't look like anything you'd yet expored.

I'll keep that in mind. I still have the bottom half to do. Maybe I'll try making it a little insectoid. I might make pincers as the hands as well.

I'll draw something up and take a look. Thanks Zovo.

Updated some more. I added pincers coming out of his waist. They don't look like pincers right now. I'm actually thinking about leaning them more toward fiddler crab pincers maybe.

Also added a background. The idea is that he's tearing apart the very universe around him.

Nice touch.
