Description Keep clear denizens of the desert! it's Sefu the Sword of the Sands!

Sefu is a battle worn Mantisman who has survived a Mantisman mating ritual. Mating rituals are usually quite fatal to Mantisman males as the females are insanely powerful and violent and out weigh the males by a good 400 pounds.

After surviving the coupling ritual Sefu barely escaped his colony and clipped off his antenna, severing his link to the swarm and forever ostracizing himself among his own race. His mate was a notoriously cruel female and continues to hunt him down to this day!

Sefu is a renowned Martial artist who specializes in breaking techniques and has several retractable spines that are housed just under his exoskeleton. Mantismen exo-skeleton's never heal so older Mantismen typically have scars that are years old and are bound together with wraps and staples.

Sefu is also a cigar aficionado who eats the but ends of stogies because of his love of tobacco leaves.

I know i've done a mantisman kind of character before but i wanted to really nail him this time. Hopefully i can take this guy a little further as i'm a fan of his simple design.

Y'know you seem to have a lot of characters that smoke, might you have one that can take on one of my own characters in a smoking contest?

Wives are never easy, especially the 400+ pounders.
Super job dude, as always. I love the concept too, though, if this guy has separated from his swarm I assume he's on the move? Where are his belongings? Apart from that trusty breeze block.
He needs a little packet of tobacco, and another packet of breeze blocks.

Kiss kiss hug

jouste In reply to CrayonMechanic [2011-03-22 15:01:13 +0000 UTC]

yeha i kept him streamlined but you are absolutely right. he's going to be having a few things on his person while he's constantly hounded by his mate.

and it's interesting that breeze blocks are cinder block over here. I did not know that, learn something new everyday!

thanks for stopping by rails!

Man you are one of my favorite artists. Your style is dope and your back stories on your characters add so much more to the piece than you could draw. I think you really should write short stories or something for some of your characters because they are damn funny and interesting. Ill be watching for your daily highfives and I'm glad I can give you one back. Keep up the good work and...

*HIGHFIVE*
