Exate the Great

First Concept: [link]
Final Concept: [link]

--------------------

Mmm, this took some time. I was stumped for hours how to do the background.

It was only a matter of time before another Exate showed up. This is #5, so I've got three more to go... and I've got an idea for another later on.

King Exate transitioned from a jester to a serious ruler, and completely doesn't fit his appearance -- but, this is intentional. Everyone has their own style, and I've got a fixation with demons and jesters.

I originally requested for ~Spade03 to give me a quick frame to work from, as I had no stance in mind. Told him he could draw a whole image if he wanted. So, he either decided to, or he got carried away on the stance and decided he was going to do the full image before I asked. Either way, much props to my sensei again for this great pose.

--------------------

The nature of this character should be obvious. Where does the name spawn from? ExateTheGreat was an old AIM name I used, due to having a slant rhyme. I used it for a couple years, until people attributing "great" to me got on my nerves. But, I thought... "Yeah, why not. The great. Let's make this."

Now, if this character were part of an RPG game... he'd have more bullshit attacks than Setzer (FF6). I'm too lazy to describe all I've in mind, but I've got them written away somewhere.

As for the other Exate I had in mind... those who knew the screename prior to ExateTheGreat can take their guesses.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.
