[TPC] Mutant Luke Concept - (Stage 2)

This was our challenge in my uni org. We have to design a (full-body) character based on the word "Macabre", and my pick is this little cutie here.

Since I've been meaning to think up a design of Luke's stage 2 design, I took the opportunity to do so. I've come up with this neat idea of blades coming up at his arms. My first design was a bit meh but thanks to my senpais in my org, I was able to refine it. I have now decided that his main inspiration is the 
"Praying Mantis". Just a simple background because I wanted his over all design to be the focus. cheers~
