Description
Two threads of inspiration here. First a picture in the book Spectrum 24 by Gabriel Tan "Temple Guardian" where the guardian seems to be wearing a cylindrical bucket on his head. Second is the Chemo-Bot from Summoner. That character seems to have a bucket head that flares at the bottom like a Samuarai helmet. Figures in Poser, rendered in Vue.

Amazing image
Excellent. Nice effect too. - Bob
I love the concept here. I just feel like I want to see a more like there's an epic story to be told.
That's an interesting comment. I guess this is the "quiet period at the beginning of the story to introduce the characters" rather than the "action scene near the resolution". Let me think about the second.
You can't see it very well in this "ink drawing" render, but the guards are carrying katana's longer than they are tall, which implies there is some action ahead.
