Demise (working title) is a short comic book that I will be producing by myself. I will be responsible for the art and overall design, including story outline. I have been working on this for close to a year. Character designs are about 90% complete. I grew up playing fighting games and drawing the characters so you can see some influence of a certain "fighting game" style design to these characters (I am not ashamed of it!)

Emperor Vexx (all character names are temporary)
Emperor of the Xxetholeh. Died in the Battle of The Deepest End. He's a fiend (you can think of fiends in my book as undead, sort of, but with mythical power. I want to give them a cool name than a generic name like fiend, or undead, but I haven't got one yet.)
His role in the story is somewhat of a mystery in the beginning and he doesn't really show up much. But he does play a pretty important role.
For his design, I wanted to give him an outer-worldly feel, something that's more creature and alien like. So while I was designing him, I kept thinking of Aliens and the way they would animate. Their body parts that would seem a lot more flexible than human beings - and you can see the influence in the arms and legs in this design. His headdress is his crown. I want to give him a visual remark that says, "hey, I am still an emperor".
The tentacles...well, I think they speak for themselves:)
