Some may remember Imperia (link), an alien OC I posted a while back. After being accused of ripping off some stranger's design I'd never heard of, it really muddled my love for this guy and just killed any passion I had for working on him/his story.

Just recently got the interest back, and decided to make some changes. The tentacles extending from his scalp kind of collect into a natural thick tail, which move as one appendage but can also split off at will. The 'horns' on his head can also fold back against his head, for protection or convenience, and are concave on the underside. Colors of his tentacles/horns shift, depending on his mood or feelings.

Also de-emphasized the line of his mouth, which now seems to disappear almost seemlessly when not open, but can still kinda be seen at the center of his face. Other than that he's pretty much the same! Please pardon the ugly af hands, I was lazy and this was just a doodle.
