So, an old favorite of mine, Forte/Bass (read base), the change in design is just a reinterpretation of Bass himself, the inspiration came from his younger brother, a reinterpretation of Zero from MMZ series, used as a cd cover for what I believe to be the soundtrack of the MMZ games.
Naturaly my designs do not compare to those, but I just wanted to try the idea on Bass and see how would it turn out.

My favorite part in this would have to be the ridiculously huge cross crystal piercing through the fins xD

you can check the full resolution one with the download buttom.
