it strikes me as similar to an old school dragon quest battle screen where theres a bunch of different perspectives but you just accept it, cause all the perspectives arent really fighting for dominance and all coexist happily if chaotically
try drawing the polar opposite
top hat, moustache, round eyes, cane for walking/whacking, old man
the cane should double as a sword
I think it would be cool if it was a sword fighting old man
But how would the sword even move? :O[img ]http://i.imgur.com/7SuVdsA.png[/img]Some colorful rock thing I drew, I guess.
