Silversword concept art - Evil palace guard

This is a concept drawing for Silversword (Wizards and Warriors 3), our NES game from 1989 or so.

With all this concept art I was trying to do drawings of the game sprites that matched what we could actually draw on screen, on an NES, rather than doing drawings that bore little or no relation to the tiny pixelly shapes on-screen, so I used simple, basic shapes and thick lines.

I think this guy was a fairly big 'mini boss' type enemy, similar to the 'evil demon' I posted a few months back. He was so large that I could only manage about two or maybe three frames of animation for him.
