Cooler (Fifth Form)

Realistic Dragon Ball Z: Cooler (Fifth Form) 2015

Entering a new phase of fear is the fifth form of this cold-blooded family's line of transformations. Built to terminate any opponent, this armored form is as protective as it is dangerous. With more bone blades and tremendous new attacks, Cooler shows he truly is from a line of apex predators. This royal body reminds us of the tyrannical rule this family has across the stars. 
I wanted to show how this design could follow the previous forms and still look like a natural and gradual change. The eye's irises expand and the exoskeleton stretches. The mouth was not difficult to translate into a natural form we could naturally see for facial protection. I very much enjoy this series' use of traditional Asian imagery in their other-worldly characters. Such as the Ninja-like mouth piece or the Samurai armor-like use of forehead piece and shoulder armor.
