Description
Edit 8/20/2016: Some last-minute changes/fixes before Sekto shows up in the comic. His clothing palette is a bit more unified (though I purposefully kept the hat's colors as is to contrast with the rest), and hopefully has a "colder" look to it. I also added some markings that I didn't realize he had the first time around and a few extra spikes.Whew. That's both main-canon-character refs done, still need to do one more noncanon sheet (Yeah, OCs. I know, I suck. They'll be posted as the characters appear in the comic) and possibly some mini-refs for canon minor characters if I decide I need them.
For those who played Stranger's Wrath, you all know who Sekto is. For those who haven't, he's a parasitic octopus-thingy who dammed a sacred river, committed native genocide, hunted a species to extinction, and probably did a whole lot of other horrible things. He's kind of a dick.
It's probably easy to guess who Sekto's unlucky new host is going to be in the comic (hint: look at the hat). Given that Stranger singlehandedly tore his mercenary troops a new one, he's going to need some new mooks, and given that he's apparently worked with Outlaws before, well...
Designing his in-comic look was fun, though I would have liked to make him a bit fancier. I doubt outlaw bands would have many designer suits stored away, though, so black duster coat it is!
Fun fact: His gun is based off two specific weapons: the Colt Single Action Army revolver, AKA the most famous gun of the Wild West (and I think also what Stranger's crossbow was based off of) and the Smith & Wesson 500, a modern-day hunting pistol. I still can't draw firearms at all tho 8I

Don't oktigi have these four 'grabbing digits' (I don't know what to call them) attached to their face?

Tentacles, I guess? I used the version of Sekto's true form from the last cutscene of the game, what little we see of it anyway, for reference on this. From what I could see, he had four tentacles only, but I could be wrong--like the concept art you linked, he could have more. I'm never sure if I should use concept art or in-game rendered art as the "correct" reference x_x
And dun worry 'bout it, it's not bashing at all xD

Perhaps he has eight tentacles and he uses four for each purpose.
Four for swimming and four for latching.
I think that oktigi curl them into their mouth when they don't need them, which explains why we only see four when he swims down the river.

That's entirely possible, and would certainly fit an Oddworld creature xD I might keep him as is for the comic, though, if only because I've already done the ref and I'm really lazy. You did make me take a closer look at this one, though, and I found a couple things to revise that will hopefully fit his design better.

Thanks! And heh, yeah. The hat belongs to Sekto's new host body, you should be able to recognize it > I always thought those fingers were a pretty badass design touch, so of course I had to keep it for the comic.

Eeeeeee....oh dear it's Sekto!! I'm really digging the new design you gave him too! It's really making me look forward to how he made the shift from industrialist to Outlaw, as well as what sorts of evil schemes he's hatching up now...well done!

I hope it'll be amazing, anyway x_x I'm trying to treat it like I would an original story and put as much effort into it as I can, though I still can't help but worry it's gonna fall flat or just turn out to be totally stupid. Only way to find out is to do it, though.
And you are correct heheh

You put so much time and effort into your work, I know it's going to be epic! 8D Just don't try and force yourself to the point of stressing and giving up. I've done that a lot with projects in the past, and it sucks. XD Just have fun.
Poor bugger ;-;

Yeah, I'm trying to pace myself and not jump into it too quickly. I've done that myself with previous stories. I have to have some sort of structure planned out, otherwise it just becomes a directionless clusterfuck. I plan to be a lot more careful with this and make sure the storyline is sound before I start doing pages.
As always, thanks so much for the encouragement! It means a lot.
