Cyclops Retiarius

55K Game Character for next gen console and PC.

I wanted to create a cyclops character that looked imposing and dangerous but also noble (something different from the usual dumb brute interpretations of cyclopes). Cyclopses were meant to be the children of Poseidon so I felt a retiarius or trident wielding gladiator would work best. I Was influenced by Guillermo Del Toro's creature designs in Pan's Labyrinth etc...
