Oso - Soulstone Knight Number Three

Here's the third in the series of the five knights. This one, the bear, is piloted by Estrella who is kind of the brain of the bunch. You'll find soon that she is the single resource in discovering the prophecy that connects the five main grils with the past.

With Oso, his thrusters are behind his front and back legs. A bear can actually travel pretty fast when necessary, so it made sense to give this knight the ability to do the same. Also, the set behind his front paws allow it to deliver those powerful bear-paw slaps that can easily kill a man.

The Mayan-like marks are also important in making these creatures seem like they were creations made by man. They aren't always actual letters, words and names, but markings stylized by those I've found in books on the Mayan. I do like to slip a few of real Mayan symbols in, here and there. For instance, the pendants on the neckalces of the girls are Mayan symbols of colors, signifying the craft they pilot.

Hope you like!
