So this is what I came up with in the end for Dusk's new design. Alot of folks said to try and combine my two designs for him, and I did, and it took me daaaaays of redesigns, but this one, I'm finally rather extatic about. He's bigger, enough that we get an element of majesty and leonine power from him, but he's still elegant, gothic, and fluid XD

Dusk, in the new comic, is going to be a shop keeper who moonlights as a specialist in the studies of demons and the supernatural. He embodies some very dark powers. No sword as his gifts and abilities are all he needs, but his demon wolf is there still, playing the role of a femiliar instead of the soul of his blade, so this actually means she'll be in it more and be a more integral part of the story as it seems everyone, myself included, really likes her XD

Anywho, a colored finished version of this will be coming and the comic should be restarting in the next few weeks mates XD enjoy!
