Midis... lots and lots of midis

As of late, I've been becoming more and more obsessed with the idea of creating my own video game character, which in every project I would ever do (which thinking realistically, is maybe a 20-page manga entry if I'm lucky) that would be fucking awesome... in my opinion. That is the Gyarawolf, name subject to change. I'd so love to make it into an animated, bloodthirsty-looking sprite.

Problem? I'm one lazy as hell bitch. Really, really, really damn lazy. That and I suck at making sprites, and any DECENT art I do, it's by complete accident, so I can't PURPOSELY make something awesome. If it happens to be awesome, it's by accident.

Third problem... The Gyarawolf's ass-end. I still haven't finished designing it. It was originally supposed to combine a wolf, a dragon, and a fish, and obscure reference to a nickname given to me plus my various chinese zodiac symbol things. I want this thing to be BADASS. As in Next-to-final-boss-of-video-game kind of badass, where if you don't haul ass and have some insane stats and chocobo-looking weapon, you will DIE IN FOUR HITS. This thing will rip you apart and make you cry. Like the final battles of Cave Story, where you go through all that hell just to die in the end and have to start ALL OVER AGAIN.

Unfortunately, it's hard to achieve that kind of badass and make it original at the same time. I'm trying to design fins for it along the tail without making it look like Vaporeon/Showers.

Yeah... that's a long rant. I better go work on that ass-end now if I hope to make a bloodthirsty animated sprite of death.
