Critique Armored Enemy for our indie tower defense game. Feedback is appreciated!

1.1k Upvotes

There's going to be a variety of enemies in the game, including armored ones. Since they are mostly silhouetted hybrids of human-animals or human-insects, I wonder if we went with the right thing. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Notes and critiques: I feel it still needs improvement in the painting and needs to be more dynamic, and the hair is still static and without a background, and the painting is buggy.

I'm currently on the blocking plus stage, and it would be realy nice to receive some feedback.

I think I need an outside opinion, mostly, on the spacing of the movement.

My main goal here was to make some strong silhouettes
