Maki was originally created to be a comic strip character, but it seems he is destined to become a video game character. Cool.

These are references drawings for the character modeling that are done by Seby (sorry, no page to link to).

Also, I enjoyed drawing Maki, so there’ll probably be more modeling references posted in the near future.

Those drawings were made to become paintings. Only the first one representing Frank Sinatra actually became a 20 by 30 inch painting.
The others might turn into something else in the future, who knows ?

Here are representations of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

These last ones are Thelonious Monk and Ray Brown.
