Sketchbook - Sketch 6 : Z A K - O

I take care of a few little ones occasionally, so at one point we went and bought the Pokemon Adventure Game. It's as deep and creative as the cartoon. So I figured, why not come up with a game that would make the kids come up with their own ideas?

So with the cartoons I loved as a kid in mind (though I've seen them lately ... did we really take He-Man and Thundercats seriously?), I started doodling.

This quick sketch is for the main bad-guy, kind of a cross between Skeletor and Mumm-ra. Maybe I ought to tone it down before I show the little ones?

Either that or I stick with the direction I'm going and develop a more adult setting. The kids I know like to be treated as grown-ups. So maybe the creepiness will scare and compel them. It worked for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and that's much scarier than a dusty old mummy.
