This was my first sketch of Mudra the Shadow Warrior. Heavily influences by Eastern culture including Japanese Samurai, Persian warriors and also Zant from Twilight Princess. As soon as I read about Mudra I pictured him as some creepy ass samurai with a symbolic mask. I've always loved the design of Zant from Twilight Princess and thought that the long sleeves of his robes would fit Mudra so well as a dancing shadow warrior. I also liked how it fit with the idea that Samurais wore baggy clothes so that their ligaments were never exposed to their opponents. In the pauldrons I have sketched a face with large teeth which is supposed to be representative of the giant ice statue in the land of Chup. Across his armor straps are teeth that I thought could have been torn from Chupwala's mouths.
