I have seen anime Karas recently, and I have to say that it is one of the best anime ever. Under its impression I started thinking of making my own Karas character. So far he does not have a solid design, backstory or even a name, but I will work on that. Here's a very sketch sequence of him doing Karas transformation sequence (you can see the actual one from the anime here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGNyQDMgWMg ); hope it is actually possible to tell what's going on.

P.S. There must be some sort of an unspoken rule that when Karas are not.. well, Karas, they gotta wear badass longcoats. :B
