Sidewinder

Well, well, well! This surely is an intriguing character design! First of all, I like how this character was inspired by an alternative rock song (i.e. Sidewalker by Avenged Sevenfold).

I also like how you use this character design and its elements as a visual interpretation for the lyrics. For example, the snake is a blunt reference to the "poison sting" and "venomous bite" mentioned in the chorus.

I am pretty fond of this character's gothic, old-fashioned attire (e.g. frilled shirt, thief's mask, leather boots, etc.) because I believe that it reflects his cold-blooded personality as described in the lyrics. To me, he looks like a combination of Simon Belmont (Castlevania) and Koushaku "Papillon" Chouno (Buso Renkin) who wear similar clothing.

This entire illustration was drawn and coloured in excellent detail and with great precision. His physique, clothes and weaponry all look fairly realistic!

If there is only one flaw with this illustration, it's his right lower-leg - it looks fairly bent out of place.

Overall, this is a truly interesting character design with a unique attire! He would make a great villain in any franchise. Excellent job!
