I don't know how I was able to forget about this old piece, but anyway, here he is: Waylon Jones, AKA Killer Croc!!!

A native Floridian, Waylon Jones was born with an extremely rare medical condition which caused him to mutate into a creature that was half-human and half crocodile. Seeing that he was becoming eventually unmistakably similar to the alligators in the swamps, Jones took on the name Killer Croc and became an Alligator wrestler in a traveling circus, and formed a bond with his fellow performers, but an attack in Gotham City changed that all. Vowing revenge, Croc became a cannibalistic murder, often accepting payments in food by the mob, and eventually became a challenging enemy of the Dark Knight himself.

At first, I wanted to go and draw Killer Croc as completely crocodilian, to the point where he had the head of a crocodile, but I decided that was impractical. For his abilities, I studied the Nile and Saltwater Crocodile species, as they're some of the most powerful reptiles on the planet. So Croc can survive in both saltwater and freshwater, and his diet consists of humans as well as fish, crabs, crustaceans, small mammals, but since he's so ravenous, Croc can take down a cow or a buffalo, if he wants to. His most savored meal however, is the chance to eat Batman alive...
