Previously I talked about McReid manor. Gargoyle Cole McReid's home and the location of the Moon Detective game. Follow the link if you missed the post.

Tonight I will share new concept art for the game's mysterious villain Moustache.
He is a mutant. His genes contain DNA of multiple species.
For example orc, dragon and gargoyle genes.
Moustache - his name - is inspired by the pattern under his nose and used to be his nickname before he mutated.
His personality unites a genius mind (he did all genetic experiments himself) and a wild beast, that can hardly control primal instincts.

I won't spoil any story secrets considering the game, so the short bio ends here.

Considering Moustache's look I tried to resemble a fusion of Samurai armor and a Mexican wrestling outfit.

Can you see the similarities?
The mask, the shoulder plates, the helmet, the horns... It's all there on Moustache's body.

I like this approach, because it adds substance to the concept.
But I need your help with his colours. Therefore I created a poll, where active subscribers can vote for Moustache's colour theme.
I count on your help wolfies! :3

For the end of this post I collected some old Moustache pics.
He made his first appearance in 2021 at Halloween, when I was given the task to create a mutant losely based on Venom from Spiderman.

In 2023 Moustache returned (caught on camera) with an all new look with more orc genetics.

In 2024 he showed up with a character sheet showing his human self.

If you check the colour variations on top you'll see that some resemble his original red form and others follow the orc route, while there are also gray or pale violet ones like gargoyle skin.
In his potential darkest form he could merge with the darkness of the night.
So many options... so do not forget to vote.

You need help to decide?!
Imagine a dark, rainy night. The raindrops fall on the cold stone of multiple sculptures decorating the rooftop of an old manor. Between all those humanoid silhouettes is a large one. One that moves, one that is not made of stone, but flesh.
One whose glowing eyes observe the events inside the manor, secretly and silently.
Waiting for a chance like a predator.
