New Glacius concept art

Ok.. it started as a simple conversation with

We were talking about the new Killer Instinct game, the characters and such, when it came to him.. GLACIUS!

Gee... I saw his debut video and first thing I asked to myself... WHAT happened to him? O_o

Don´t get me wrong.. about the gameplay changes, the zoning thing with his play style is quite ok I guess.. makes him different to the original cast without changing too much with his powers (would like to see him summoning ice with his hands too instead of a whole bunch of kicks in the ground that gets quite repetitive.. but that´s asking too much)

But his DESIGN? Pfff.. it looks NOTHING like the original I loved much back then...

To make things worse... just said me that, along with the change of his design, now his ice powers are not naturally part of him, but because the use of a special "suit" that makes him able to control it...

Yeah... they just got RUNDAS from Metroid Prime 3 and mixed with the Glacius idea!

Got so frustated with that (Glacius is still one of my all time favorite fighting characters) that I HAD to make a concept art of what I think it could work for the new game, without doing an "ULTRA COMBO" to everything he was in the past!

Now he is more "alien-type" and has the structure of the new design.. but yeah, resembles much better the Glacius I´ve loved since the first KI...

Hope you guys enjoy it the same I did while doing and seeing the final results!
