Description Here is Arcus, the Eidachi "eskimo ninja". This character was super fun to redesign because there was a couple year gap in his redesigns and it gave me a chance to play with Inuit designs. For some reason I've always liked the designs a lot for this character, but at the same time never had a ton of interest in doing pieces featuring him.

Real subtle undertones of Sub-Zero here, but man is this a brilliant idea and excellent execution!

Beautiful way of expressing his character's personality; through different ideas for his costume we can see he is this real deep inuit warrior with an alternative style and badass demeanour.

SO COOL love it!

The art and everything about it is stunning. The character design, outfits, how much change has come through the years, its all damn gorgeous. I have to wonder, though, how come this is showing up in my inbox in a Pokemon Fanart group...?

Probably the best character design so far in my opinion. The concept of mixing in the different cultures of the eskimo and Japanese ninjas is just amazing. The headdress is also pretty awesome, just curious if his weapon is more of a dagger? or much bigger?

arvalis In reply to QMillerPhotography [2012-11-10 06:06:33 +0000 UTC]

He has a pair of daggers, you'll see it better realized in the full illustration.

Awesome, and I just realized it isn't a headdress, it's his hair haha. Thanks for clarifying

Out of all of your characters, I like him the most, just something about him makes him better then the rest in my eyes. The other characters are still great though.

I like Arcus. The Eskimo details are really cool, and give hi a really unique touch, rather than just another fancy elf-warrior.
