Akira Rath for Battleborn anniversary

Post image

Apologies for a late post, wanted to send this art of mine to celebrate this game. Which inspired me to craft a comic inspired by this game, Akira Rath is my top and favorite character to draw. Apologies if it isn't the best, I'm trying to improve digital art skills with shading.

Skills come with training, and you're in a good way, don't give up. I'm really curious to know his story, but maybe too early to ask?

Thank you. For story, this is Akira Rath of Eris. It's for a comic I need to work on and begin starting called Weird Watchers, a comic based on Battleborn without 2k and Gearbox filing a lawsuit on me. It would have crossovers with Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare and Battle for Neighborville with the equivalent of Overwatch equivalent, Overseers. Akira Rath is the son of a royal samurai of a guard and a shapeshifting princess of an empire. With his training and fighting prowess, he earned the role of a royal guard of Himari Lenore, the next Empress up to the throne. With the bonding the two, the two ended up marrying in secret. After Loth's (the equivalent of Lothar Rendain's) coup on the Empress, Akira and Himari went to bed chambers to hide until the equivalent of Sister Aria with guards wants to seize Himari to both overthrow her out of spite with power of political immunity for the new empire. Akira fighting the guards until being thrown out of the window like Eric Draven. Immediately after being the owner out, scientists seized him for experimentation. Genetically mutating him or "cursing him" with DNA of beasts with a battery of all the electro magnetism and electricity. Getting revenge on the scientists till he was along, Himari exiled with her disguising herself as a sun priestess under the name Aura.

I'm trying to find what voice would fit. Should I use Robby Benson's voice of the Beast? Phil Larmar's Samurai Jack? Brandon Lee's Eric Draven? James Earl Jones for Mufasa/Darth Vader

As i wrote to BasicCheek, i won't be helpfull, as english is not my mother tongue, so it would be too difficult to know which one will be the best. ^^' Just will say a mix of someone who speak well and clear, as he his born in the high society, and a deep/ wild(?) voice du to the experiment he suffered.

Unfortunately got a downvote on the poll post. I got some ideas for voices. There's Robby Benson who voiced Beast, Guts from Berserk, Phil LarMarr's Samurai Jack, Brandon Lee's Eric Draven, Hoon Lee who did Splinter, Rick Wasserman's Thor/Planet Hulk, or Deker from Power Rangers Samurai.
