Good idea, to do each 1st see which one you like then pick, far right looks like its coming along, looks neat so far. Looking forward to the rest of them.

Thanks! The far right design benefited from references (specifically murmillo gladiators) while the other two were mostly exploratory doodles/sketches. Actually am considering refining the leftmost design and have it function like a titan/familiar controlled by the human/oid character.

The first water guardian character was definitely out of my league so tried something that was safer this time around. Probably will refine the design a little bit more once I have more references. Might also incorporate the first design as a pet or summon.
