One more image

Hi all,

I've received a complete set of images from that first artist, the one drawing the picture of the mercenary.

They've made a number of improvements to the mercenary image based on your feedback and it certainly does look better than it did before. Nevertheless, I don't find it appealing enough to include in the game. They have asked if there are any changes that I'd like made, but ultimately I don't feel like tweaking those images will bring them over the line and I'm not going to ask for any changes to art that I won't be using - that'd just be wasting the artist's time.

This image was my favourite from the commission, and I'm undecided whether or not to use it in the game. 

So, my questions for you:

A: Do you think this image is good enough to be included in the game, with or without minor changes? You can assume it'll be appearing alongside adventurer art like the "Ailwin/Alvie" images I posted earlier, or something similar to them.

B: If you do think it's good enough, are there any changes you think the artist should make for a final version? These will have to be small changes, as the artist has already done a lot of revisions.

C: Monster image sets will normally include a few other images that were not included in the trial commission. If you think this image should be in the game, do you think I should commission the artist to complete the image set, or would you be happy with a different artist completing it based on this image?

Monster bio below. The protrusions on its head are a result of my requesting that the monster have some sort of distinct facial feature that can be used to show its relation to another monster type.

Monster Name: Skritch

Description:

Tall, skinny and rather weak, Skritch are have just one natural advantage: an uncanny ability to bond with animals and bestial monsters.

Originally created as a Grilk slave-race to work in their farms and stables, many Skritch escaped as the great Grilk civilisation fell. They now dwell in small forest settlements, defended by their animal friends from larger, stronger foes.

Distrustful, suspicious and rude, Skritch are generally not a pleasant encounter for human adventurers. Still, a Skritch will gain respect among its peers if it can persuade a member of a stronger humanoid race to join it for a roll in the moss. Male Skritch may fantasize about seducing an Ogress, but outside the world of dreams they're more than happy for a chance to get frisky with a human.
