Dark Maniacs Snakeman

Dark Snake! With as loud a background as I can think of!

So the original idea was, obviously, his whole head got blown off and his snake head just becomes the main head. After I drew up a new sprite I noticed the original sprite actually had a broken off tail and one dead eye. But if you have enough time to repair Snakeman's head why wouldn't you restore that eye? And the tail is such a strong visual. So, even though this version doesn't differ all that much from Future Snake I think the snake head make shim entirely more monstrous.

To do with the monstrous look I inked this freehand and not in Animate. There's not a lot of pen tool use here. Nor was there much edits to the original pencil work here; I just added in the soles of his feet. Dark Snake never appeared in the Maniacs Moments so I think it's just fine to look past the intended damage.
