The updated drawing and this tikihead are really damn cool Eric, I gotta give you props on those! characters with a bad side are so fun sometimes - fits in perfect with your dbz reference, the "Vegeta complex" thing :) It's more real, and it's much easier to relate to. A smartass floating head talking crap to you is just going to be so hilarious.
