This character has a lot of history for me, I created him in City of Heroes in 2005, as a role play character. And he quickly became my main character. With my comic being set in a more grounded universe, I really couldn't use him, and given that he's a super villain, I couldn't really even use a modified form of him. So, when I started the whole Guardians of the Cosmos set of characters, I decided to slot him in.
The original sketch for this piece was a left-over from when I was designing 'Wraptor'. When I was working on the mummy character, at first I thought it might be a hyena, and I did a crouched pose like this for it. It didn't feel 'right' though. I came across the sketch the other day, and liked it for Noble, though.
I did this all in Sketchbook, just like normal!
