Creation
The character had to exist under its size constraints of 64x64 px. He had to be readable in a detail-deprived style of art.
Conception
Described as a masked, rogue Hindu hero. Early ideas involved him in a golden mask, sleeveless armor, and typical old-age trousers.
Correction
Client feedback gave me essential details about the character that greatly affected his final persona.
Conclusion
The result was an original character based on Hindu inspirations.
