Since it's the Year of the Snake, I wanted to try and revisit some of the snake characters I have for the fun of it.


This is a very old character of mine that I wanted to revisit. This is Tato, someone I made back in 2008.
I don't know how much of his old backstory/lore will stay now, but in short, he was once a human ninja that ended up getting transformed into a snake/cobra-hybrid due to some dark magic, at the time it was caused by the demon king Orochi.

Much of his lore and design was based off of Orochi Warriors, a game series that was very much new at the time, so this time around, I wanted to try and be much more independent with his design. Wanted to make his design less complex as well as make him more unique.
