Javash

(unreleased hero from Gigantic)
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 weapon. 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 good old kung fu. I also used this concept to gets some fun “Capcom” proportions, especially on his hands and feet.
