Next up on the personal project list: Kozama!

I've done a lot of thinking on what I want Kozama to be, and he just never really seemed to inspire me much in his previous design. I've also been badly wanting to create a large male character for a long time, one with some serious muscle and masculine energy.

So I tried repurposing Kozama to fit the large, strong male body type, and here we have the results of that experiment. Huge dark magic bird go! He ain't quite as large as Atheress when she's transformed, but he's plenty big and strong. I've opted for more traditional arms instead of bird wings or feather hands, and his wings are partially connected to his arms and back. They're small and compact, mostly because I don't care to be drawing huge wings every time I doodle him. He's probably not much of a flier anyways, but maybe he could extend and grow them out if he wanted to?

I think this is going to be his 'Darkside' form, with a different color scheme than his default magpie colors. I might add some more physical transformation to this later, but this is a much more evil and intimidating look than his normal form. Normally I want him to be more classy and elegant. He's always going to be huge and muscular though, that part will never change about him!

Enjoy, and I hope to share more about this fella soon!
