Vespa Warrior

I've completed my contest entry for Wacom's Create Your Original Monster contest.  The one on the left isn't exactly the same, as I added a filter in this one that kind of punches up his dramatic quality.  The original submission is simply the Vespa Warrior himself.

I also had to change a couple things on the character in order to ensure that it met with the contest rules such as changing the logo on his top right (your left) chest plate as the original version had a stylized V, which was remarkably similar (coincidence eh?) to the Vespa logo. This change was required as it would have infringed on copyright restrictions.  In addition to this, I had to change a bit of the detail on the armour itself as well as changing his name from Vespa Warrior to Waspa.

One final change was that I chose to remove the spear that was in his hand as the contest submission guidelines mentioned that they don't condone the use of violent imagery.  I'm pretty sure the spear would have been fine, but I thought it would be better to be safe than sorry.

I encourage you all to check out the contest submissions at Wacom.  Some are quite cute, some are quite dark, and some are just plain cool.  My favorite submission are Nejo, is The Sockmonster and The Eyes.
