Okay, that's a fantastic name for a Native American character with (I'm presuming) growth powers. He is perhaps a bit too visually reminiscent of Shaman (the colors) but he otherwise looks great. Nicely done.

Your thoughts echo mine on Sequoia's color scheme. He's due for a slight redesign that should handle that particular issue. For this particular picture, I blame John Byrne for hiding out in the back of my brain.

Indeed. Had you possibly considered keeping the design the same but making it brown (rather than green) and red (rather than orange) instead?

That's not a bad idea. I'm also playing with the idea of making him a bit more...inhuman looking, I guess. I grew up with my preferred powerhouses sporting looks that aren't quite "normal". Granted, being giant works, but my favorite bruisers have always been characters like Thing, Colossus, She-Hulk and so on. I'll make a decision soon though, since I want to get a new version of both him and Brass Dragoon posted.

Personally I'd leave this guy alone aside from the color change. The giant powers are plenty cool enough on their own.

Colossus and Thing we're always favorites of mine as well. If you're looking for that kind of feel I'd humbly suggest a new character as opposed to redesigning this cool guy.

The second interpretation of Sequoia is up. Tell me what you think.

Maybe make him more Groot-like as he increases in size, similar to Maul's decrease in intelligence as he increases in size.

It's possible. Since this is one of the characters under discussion for a collaboration with another creator, I may just opt to keep it simple and just stick to him being the "growing guy".

It's your collab, and the other person has final say.

Actually, I created the character and the concept, but the collaboration is in a setting not created by me, so certain aspects have to be mutually agreed upon. There are other illustrators involved as well, which makes me inclined to keep things simple. My own personal opinion is, a memorable, easily replicated, design works best when working with sequential art...especially when there are deadlines involved, potentially.
