My first concept art is of the character Anguis, the Knight Shaman.
Exiled over 2000 years prior to the mystery scenario, Anguis has gained eternal youth through the “sacrifice” of human souls to turn them into his body’s own eternal fuel. He, or “it” is the last remaining Pentral on the planet, desperately attempting to uncover his people’s secrets. Unfortunately, all things come with a price. The Pentral do not take kindly to secret stealers and a trap ultimately robbed Anguis of his right hand. His armor is heavily skewed in a snake theme that will eventually align with the theme of the story being snakes. He also wields the Greatstaff of Serpents; a necessary piece of the puzzle that provides the power to destroy and transmute a human soul. However, it’s not the only item of Serpents in the world. Our detective soon might find another…
Anguis’ pose in the frontal view is a classic example of his people’s serpent like body and maneuvering in battle — able to flex and contort the body in all combinations similar to that of a snake.
