Hey everyone,
Since some of you have difficulty to pronounce my username right (witch is my full name now) :) i decided to make a new account because every time i tried to email the contact button below i received a error message that the mail could not be delivered.
Anyways, back to business.
Before i started with Arthur i said that Arthur was the red dragon and Mordred should be the tiger.
With those thoughts and the introduction from Dan i decided to make myself a moodbaord before i went into sketch mode.

I wanted to create the look and feel from a Psycho, evil and twisted man. That's the reason why the joker and Hanibal lector are in it :)
Sketches for a pose:

my decision after the sketches where that the katana feels out of place with Mordred.
A tiger cant kill from a distance, he needs to be on his prey to give a lethal bite in the neck.
After research and a few good samurai documentary's further i found the Kusarigama.Witch a later on added to the moodboard.
For the counter weight on the weapon i attached a pinned ball to make it more evil and as a representative for a tiger claw, and the reaping-hook for the tigers teeth that cuts your throat.

Morganne had foxes attached to her clothes so i wanted to extend that idea into Mordred's design.
Normally when you see a full animal skin attached to a armor it's usually hanging over one shoulder. When it comes to fighting a warrior needs to be flexible, so i hung it over his chest to match his mask and to intimidate his opponent.
Also added a flag on his back with a demon sign, seems that samurai warriors where those in war and battle's.
Purely to invite the enemy to attack. Each flag represents a status or clan.
First i thought was, yeah oke..... but why would you invite someone that could kill you instead of sneaking up on him or ambush him? The samurai invite other samurai to fight that if they die, they die with honor and respect.
Hope you guys like it,
If anyone is interested in the documentary its this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL-JDO8paG8
