Sigh…. Gigantic’s servers are being shut down in a few days, so here’s some characters that never got made. It’s for sure a melancholy feeling but at least the art can live on and inspire others!

This is Javash! This hero was near and dear to my heart, I came up with the idea of an artist monk that could control sand with a unique sand staff. Lore-wise Javash grew tired of life in the monastery, he felt like if his sect was supposed to do good work they should be out in the world helping people. So he set off on his own to create art and fight injustice!

He was inspired by Hindu/Buddhist monks, sand paintings/mandalas, and Kung Fu. I also like his fun “Capcom” proportions, especially on his hands and feet. He’s also ethnically Indian, middle eastern etc. which there aren’t that many in games. The skin concept at the bottom was intended for a holiday release we were going to do an in-universe festival of lights.

SIGH (again)
