Hehe, thanks Rouzie! I'm happy that you liked my hooded snek!
He also has a little history that I would like to talk about here. I designed this character to be a boss for my group's Unity platform game. He was suppose to have 3 special attacks, but due to time constraints he only had his invincible change towards the player when I delivered it (kinda sad he didn't have the afterimage effect too... it would have been badass).
I found the paper with my old character design sheet I had of him in one of my folders. I decided to redraw him as an avatar while playing around with my paint tools and effects, and I really liked how it turned out.
And so I changed my avatar for both dA and Youtube! I think I'm gonna be using him as my mascot for a while just because I like the little guy, hehe.
