GaliLeo - Nightmare Interlude

So after some days of procrastinating and battling the forces of evil (aka Illustrator), I finally have something
to honor a certain 10+ old game that's finally getting its long-awaited revival on the little Nintendo console that could.

The console? The Wii. The game? NiGHTS.

And what better way to celebrate than with an update of one of my own old fan-characters? ...besides actual NiGHTS fanart, I mean. Shut up.

Anyway, I finally went and did that promised 'final' form for this guy. Though, apparently by final I mean "yet another huge makeover"; wanting to give him a revamp more along the lines of NiGHTS's own slight re-design, I gave him a change of clothes, inspired heavily by his namesake. For the heck of it, I also gave him an Ideya of Wisdom* (aka the blue gem) to complete the look.

Why the complete change in color scheme? One, the limited palette was a bit *too* limited for the new look. Also, I finally got a hold of a very small and blurry screenshot from the old game of the Maren baddy he's supposed to be designed after and noticed that the trademark mane and claws were the wrong color (eye probably is too, though I would have done so intentionally anyway). The old baddy also had red tusks, but I'll let this detail slide for the time being.

*yeah yeah, the green Ideya is Wisdom and blue is intelligence...IN AMERICA! Either way, it's not like neither one doesn't fit the character, so
