Reminds me a character from the game "Fighting Masters" made by softwarehouse "Treco" for Mega Drive (Sega Genesis), his name was Flamer (JAPAN) and Equus (USA).

Anthropomorphic kickboxing horse

I am not claiming that it is a copy or to be just like. Just aim your creative process led you to a character that resembles one that lived in a great fighting game from the past that is now an abandonware (and abandoned a franchise that did not work commercially enough to generate sequences) unfortunately, because this game was excellent and generated a great fun at the time me and my friends.

From the artistic point of view its screen is flawless, very good indeed. congratulations
